New major release: 🥕 Taproot channels!
🥕 full taproot support including splices
🪙 on-chain operations are now ~20% cheaper
🕵️ on-chain footprint is indistinguishable from a standard p2tr wallet as long as the channel isn't force closed
🤹 new multi-wallet support on mobile
Available on Android & iOS (2.7.0), and server (phoenixd 0.7.0).
Next up: V3 transactions and 0-fee commit txs to completely shield channels from on-chain feerates fluctuations.
@salvatoshi Combining with splicing + upgrading existing channels (aka dynamic commitments) is no small feat
Almost a year of preparatory work for this 😅 🐌
@Remsjack1 It will not work. If you want to move to a different wallet you need to send your funds to that other wallet, preferably by closing your channel.
@ArturBrugeman@acinq_co Thanks for the heads-up, yes it's expected. We have been transitioning to a new spec compliant backup mechanism during the past 6 months and have deprecated the legacy backup today.

Hello, thanks for the review.
Re: languages; Phoenix supports english, french, german, spanish, czech (+ portuguese, slovak, vietnamese, swahili on Android).
Re: restoring from seed; an on-chain wallet will naturally not be aware of funds that are in lightning channels, but it doesn't mean that Phoenix isn't self custodial.
