Foundation Updates: June 2024

 

⏱️ June 2024: See you in Nashville

Welcome to our June edition of Foundation Updates! May was a quiet month publicly for us, so we’ve focused on two big releases and jumped straight to our June update instead today. May and June had us “heads down” on a huge new release for Envoy and continuing work on our top secret master plan 🤐

This month we’ll be at Bitcoin Nashville (July 25th-27th), so be sure to stop by booth 211 to get try out Passport, buy directly via cash, card, or Bitcoin, and show your friends and family how approachable and powerful Bitcoin wallets can be!

Now, let’s catch up and dive into what else has been happening at Foundation HQ. 🫡

Product Updates 🔥

Envoy v1.7.0 – Buy Bitcoin, directly

 

  • Buy Bitcoin straight to self-custody, directly in Envoy
    • We’ve partnered with Ramp to integrate a seamless Bitcoin buying experience directly into Envoy. No need to leave the app, no annoying address copy-paste, no hassle.
    • Every sat you purchase gets sent directly to the Envoy account you choose, without ever needing to manually copy-paste addresses.
    • Buying directly to Passport? You can easily verify the withdrawal address with a simple QR scan via Passport.
  • Redeem BTCPay vouchers directly in Envoy
  • Countless improvements across the board

The latest in Freedom Tech

 

Brady Noah wrote up a fantastic review of Sparrow Wallet (one of our favorites), taking into account the recent loss of Samourai Wallet functionality. The conclusion?

“Sparrow Wallet is a beloved Bitcoin software wallet that recently took two big hits to its functionality thanks to the legal prosecutions coming down on the founders of Samourai Wallet.

Despite recent events, however, Sparrow is still an excellent Bitcoin wallet that you should be using if you regularly interact with your Bitcoin holdings. From customizable custody setups to UTXO consolidation, there are still plenty of great offerings that make Sparrow Wallet worth using.”
