Version 0.11.1
A redesigned connection review, a phishing check and six new languages
New
- Anon is now available in Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, Simplified Chinese and Russian. It follows your browser’s language, or you can choose one in Settings → Language.
Improved
- The connection review is redesigned: see the site, choose which account it sees, including a stealth account, check the networks and what the site can ask you for, and get a clear result when the connection is made, rejected or couldn’t be confirmed.
Security
- Before you connect, Anon checks the site against MetaMask’s public phishing list, saved on your device and renewed every 20 minutes. A site on the list is blocked, with no way to connect anyway. Downloading the list names no site or account.
- When you choose an account to connect, each option says what the site will see, accounts already used on that site come first, and Anon warns you when an account is also connected to another site, since both sites could then link your activity. A new stealth account takes the site’s name as its label, which you can edit.
- Sign and transaction requests from a connected site are checked against the same phishing list before they appear, and a request from a listed site is blocked. A site whose name looks like a recognized app’s but isn’t gets a caution on the connection review and on its requests.
- Transaction reviews can now read bridges made through Across, showing what you send and what arrives on the destination chain before you sign.

Version 0.11.0
Personalized setup and steadier app connections
New
- Pick between claiming an @username and continuing with a private account that has no public name.
- A dedicated Select your PFP step lets you pick your profile picture from 42 characters, or shuffle until one feels right.
- Private swaps on the same network can keep their output in a new stealth account you control, instead of returning it to your private balance.
- When you unshield or send a private balance to your own wallet, you can choose Public to pay gas from that wallet’s ETH if it has enough. A To my wallet button fills in the receiver in one tap.
Improved
- Wallet setup now uses full-page layouts, with a roomier recovery phrase view and clearer progress through each step.
- When Network Guard isn’t running, Anon now says so and gives you an Open Network Guard button.
- ENS names now resolve to the address the name sets for the network you’re sending on. If the name has no address for that network, Anon uses its Ethereum address and warns you before you send.
- Site requests can open in their own window, which stays open when a passkey or password-manager prompt appears. Dock to sidebar moves a waiting request into the side panel without rejecting it.
- If a connection is interrupted, Anon tells you and asks you to click Connect on the site again. Home shows how many requests are waiting, with a Review button.
- When you pay gas yourself, a batch of calls from a site now succeeds or fails as a whole. Batches paid with a private fee still run step by step.
- Transaction progress and completion screens have a fresh design, and runs of several transactions show a segmented progress meter.
- Cancel now responds at once and tells you what happened: nothing sent, stopped after some transactions went out, or too late because the last one was already sent.
Fixed
- Connecting to a site after you unlock no longer needs a second click: you land on the waiting request instead of Home, and switching profiles no longer cancels a connection in progress.
- Consolidating private balances in a single transaction no longer ends with “The network fee changed since you reviewed it” when gas prices haven’t moved.
- Unshield and Send now show fees for the selected asset’s own network instead of Ethereum’s, and the amount bar and totals in Unshield and Shield match the amounts you enter.
Security
- Site icons in the side panel, Connections and site requests are now read from your browser’s own icon cache, so no outside service is contacted to show them. A site without a cached icon shows a letter.
- Anon now checks who you’re sending to against your history and contacts, on your device. A new recipient asks you to confirm, and an address that looks very similar to one you know, or a name that now points to a different address, asks you to press and hold to send.
- A site’s swap request is summarized only when Anon can read every step and the router is a known one. Otherwise you see the raw call, never a best guess.

Version 0.10.3
Full-page support and smoother transaction flows
Improved
- Help & Support now opens as a full page, with more room to write a ticket and read replies. Go back to your wallet without losing the form you were working on.
- The fee drawer brings live gas, speed choices where available, and the fee breakdown together. Transaction reviews keep a compact fee summary, with detailed controls one tap away.
- Send, Shield, Unshield and Swap have clearer selected, loading and disabled states. Transaction reviews show estimate and quote notices beside the action they affect.
- Private RPC via anon-rpc (Tor) stays off by default. If it blocks Railgun from connecting, you can turn it off and retry directly from the failed network. Turning it off uses your current connection; RPC providers may see your IP address.
- Smaller layout, spacing and navigation improvements make asset selection, amount entry and transaction actions easier to use in the popup and side panel.
Fixed
- Changing the selected assets in Shield now updates the network used for fee estimates and transaction preparation, so switching networks does not leave the previous network’s pricing behind.

Version 0.10.2
In-app support and lower network fees
New
- Get help without leaving your wallet. Tap Help in any header to send a support ticket and read the replies right inside Anon. Your tickets follow your wallet across devices.
- Discreet mode: tap the eye on Home to hide your balances as ****, and tap it again to show them.
Improved
- Network fees are lower on private transactions. Anon’s gas estimates now use measured Railgun costs: typical network fees are around 14% lower on private sends and around 20% lower on unshields, and up to about 30% lower on an unshield that pays its fee privately.
- Reviews show the exact network fee you will pay, with a single Confirm. The fee drawer leads each fee token with its cost, and the full breakdown is one tap away under More info.
- Amounts for dollar stablecoins such as USDC, USDT and DAI are entered in dollars at exactly $1, so $15 is 15 USDC.
- Settings is now a short, layered list: your profile, privacy and security, wallet, app, and help, all within a tap.
- The side panel keeps your profile, sync status and a bottom navigation bar in view on every page.
- The Home portfolio chart draws as each network syncs, instead of waiting for every network to finish.
- Transaction history shows anon.buzz names as @handle, so you can see who you paid at a glance.
- Railgun settings open on the controls, with Protocol and Debug & recovery in tabs at the top. Networks and Sync now have separate pages: choose networks and their priority in one, and check progress or repair sync in the other.
- Networks settings now separates Public networks from Private · Railgun, with direct links to Railgun network selection, sync and RPC providers.
- Opening a dapp or website link from the popup moves the wallet into the sidebar on supported browsers. Your current wallet page, Back destination and selected settings tab stay available beside the website.

Updated privacy proofs
Improved
- Receive fits the popup, with a cleaner QR card.
- Explorer links open in the side panel.
- Stealth accounts and settings take up less space.
Fixed
- Private sends work with Railgun’s updated Proof of Innocence circuits.

Version 0.10.0
The Great Simplification
This update is coming soon. The store link installs the version currently available.
New
- Send, Shield and Unshield now start with an asset cart: select one or more assets on the same network, continue to amounts and a destination, then review. Edit your selection without starting over.
Improved
- A simpler home for your wallet. The popup and sidebar now use the Pocket layout, with clear sections for public assets, private assets, stealth accounts and DeFi. Each asset section opens its own focused view, and the sidebar gives the chart more room. Collectibles are marked coming soon.
- Actions follow where you started. Sending from public assets, private assets or a specific stealth account opens that source directly, without asking you to choose public or private again. The home page no longer needs a global mode toggle.
- Asset selection uses the familiar network icon filters from token drawers. Your selection count, Clear and outlined Continue button stay at the bottom while the asset list scrolls, including in the sidebar.
- The unlock screen and profile controls have a cleaner look inspired by mobile. Larger profile pictures use rounded corners and shadows, public usernames appear as @username, and private profiles can have local labels without an @.
- The profile menu puts both public and private addresses within easy reach, with separate copy and explorer actions. The compact RAILGUN status button shows sync details on hover or focus.
- More gas cleanup: compact fee summaries keep transaction reviews easier to scan, with speed, live gas and detailed fee controls together in the fee drawer. Expected network costs and maximum fee limits stay clearly separated.
Fixed
- Focused search and input fields use a calmer active style, removing the overlapping primary borders that could box in text and surrounding controls.
- Gas estimates for multi-asset Send and Shield carts account for native assets wherever they appear in the selection. Mixed Unshield carts apply the native-asset unwrap choice only to wrapped native tokens.

Version 0.9.12
Improved gas estimation and fee handling
New
- A consolidation shows each of its transactions separately, with its own progress and a link you can open, and tells you how many there will be before you approve.
- A swap paying out to a public address can send native ETH instead of the wrapped token. On by default.
Improved
- If the price moves while you are confirming a swap, Anon fetches a new price and carries on. You are only sent back to review when the new price is worse than the one you approved.
- Large private sends and withdrawals were quoted about 45% more gas than they use, and you paid the difference. They are now priced close to what they actually cost.
- The stealth list is more compact in the popup and side panel, filters by network from a row of icons, and can close several accounts at once.
Fixed
- A swap that never went through used to take the swap fee anyway. Part of each swap expired after five minutes, which was not always long enough for it to reach the chain, so the transaction landed, did nothing, and the fee was gone. That window is now an hour, and the fee is taken only once the swap itself succeeds.
- When a swap fails, Anon now says why — the price moved, or the quote ran out — instead of showing raw error data.
- Retry now swaps at the new price. It used to re-send the original attempt, deadline and all, so the retry failed the same way.
- A withdrawal could be sent without enough gas to finish. It confirmed, did nothing, and still charged a fee. Anon now refuses to send one that cannot complete.
- Swaps and deposits that failed partway through used to report success and keep the fee. Anon now checks every step before you approve, and stops if one of them will not work.
- Consolidation used to build batches too large for the network to accept. They sat until they timed out, holding up everything queued behind them. Batches are now smaller and spread across more transactions.
- A stealth account with a tiny amount left in it can now be closed. Close used to send you to the withdraw screen, which cannot move an amount worth less than the fee to move it.
- A swap paid out to another address no longer leaves its stealth account asking you to collect funds that were never there.

Version 0.9.11
Proton VPN support and mobile pairing fixes
This update is coming soon. The store link installs the version currently available.
New
- Proton VPN now has its own option in VPN settings on macOS. Open Proton from the connection card and see its status without pressing Verify each time.
- Set your own gas on sends, stealth withdrawals and connected-app transactions that you pay for yourself. Fees paid through the paymaster are still set by the provider.
Improved
- Swap tells you when the price has changed while you were looking at it, and by how much.
- VPN settings show which version of Network Guard you have installed, and point you to an update when a feature needs a newer one.
Fixed
- Mobile sync no longer gets stuck on “Getting your connection ready”. The pairing page opens straight away, including when Network Guard is not installed.
- Withdrawing from a stealth account with public fees showed your main account under “Paid by”. It now shows the account the fee actually comes from.
- Retry Swap now uses the price it just fetched. It could previously fetch a new one and leave the old amounts on screen.
Under review
- Proton status checks currently work with Proton VPN 6.5.1’s saved WireGuard connection on macOS. Connect in Proton’s own app — Anon cannot connect or disconnect it for you. A connected status does not verify that wallet traffic uses the VPN.
- Development builds only: an optional SOCKS5 RPC test in Settings → Connection privacy, for use with your own proxy, including local Tor at 127.0.0.1:9050, and Network Guard 0.1.4 Development. It checks the node’s chain ID before you turn routing on, and does not sign or send a transaction. It is not enabled in production builds.
- That proxy carries supported HTTP JSON-RPC calls and node name lookups only, with no direct retry if the proxy fails. Other wallet traffic — prices, images, relays, pairing, WebSockets and mobile — is outside this test. It is not wallet-wide leak protection, and a passing check does not establish that your proxy uses Tor or a VPN.
Action needed
- Proton status checks need the separate Anon Network Guard app at version 0.1.3 or later, with Proton VPN selected instead of Other / custom VPN. Network Guard is optional: you do not need it to use your own VPN or to pair with mobile.

Version 0.9.8
Every route quotes the real fee
This update is coming soon. The store link installs the version currently available.
Improved
- Under your receive code, the networks listed are the ones that address can actually be paid on.
- Test networks no longer appear when you browse networks. They stay available for dapp connections and RPC settings.
- Asset actions lead with Shield or Unshield. A public balance’s swap reads “Swap & Bridge” because that route can cross chains; a private swap stays on one network.
Fixed
- Sending your public balance to a private address is a shield, and it is now priced like one. It was quoted as an ordinary transfer, at a fraction of the real fee, so a maxed-out amount could leave too little behind to pay it.
- Paying the fee from your private balance now includes the cost of that fee in the quote. Send left it out, so the option looked cheaper than it was.
- Supplying to a lending market or depositing to a vault no longer refuses with “Insufficient ‹token› to cover amount and fee” when the fee is paid in the token you are depositing.
Security
- Consolidating will not run on the paymaster route until you pick a fee token. Without one it fell back to broadcasting from your own public wallet while still showing the paymaster — the one thing a consolidation should never do.
Available through the Chrome Web Store.

Version 0.9.7
Shield the amount you entered
New
- Funding Hyperliquid from a connected app reviews as one action instead of two, showing the amount and confirming that the request came from the official app.
Improved
- If the fee moves enough to change your amount while a shield is being prepared, Anon stops and asks you to check it rather than submitting a smaller shield than you approved.
Fixed
- Shielding now sets aside the same fee it quotes you. A mispriced reserve could quietly shrink the shield: a request to shield 0.59 USDC could submit 0.19, while every screen still showed 0.59.
- Nothing was lost to this. Anything the reserve held back stayed in your public wallet and can be shielded again.
- Try Again now fetches a fresh price after a quote expires. On shields and anything else paid from your public wallet, it used to re-use the rejected quote and appear to do nothing.

Check your download.
Use the file hash and signing identity to check the download before you install it.
How to verify a download
Expand a release’s verification details to copy its SHA-256. Calculate the hash of the file you downloaded and compare all 64 characters. If they differ, do not open the file.
On Android, an update must be signed by the same release certificate as the installed app. If Android rejects an update, keep your current wallet installed and contact support. Do not remove it to bypass a signature mismatch.
On macOS, retain Gatekeeper checks. Only install the Anon-signed, notarized setup app. A hash alone does not establish who published a file.
For an offline release audit, the release tool verifies detached Ed25519 metadata signatures and every artifact’s bytes using a separately trusted public key. Obtain that key independently from the publisher; a replacement key bundled with an untrusted download does not establish its origin.
