    Introducing Account Trees Stable

    str3tch released this 2026-10-08 17:27:37 +02:00 | 0 commits to main since this release

    Release Information

    This release is a complete rewrite and rethinking of how the ghost-wallet-extension is used. New features will be added gradually, alongside ongoing UI refinements.

    Backward Compatibility

    There is no backward compatibility with older versions. This is a bleeding-edge release, and all versions below 0.4.0 are now deprecated.

    You don't need to worry about old accounts - the testnet was fully restarted, so no account balances were transferred at this time.

    Installation

    Download zip archive for your browser then follow instructions below:

    • Chromium-based Browsers - Use official guide to install.
    • Firefox-based Browsers - To install extension temporary check official guide here.

    Our recomendation is to fully remove old one at reinstall it from scratch for now.

    Changed

    • The concept of an Account Tree is now applied. Only one account or derivation is active and exposed to external dApps at any given time.
    • Each Account Tree is represented by public info (such as public key, name, and address) and a secret seed stored with salsa20poly1305. This array of keystores is stored in localStorage.
    • You can derive any account based on the derivation rules at any time. Each one is represented as an array mapped to the publicKey of the account tree root.
    • If the screen needs to be scrolled due to the number of accounts/derivations, you can use the fuzzy finder search. Any substring works - name, derivation path, or address.
    • You can now export all your accounts as a single AES-256 encrypted archive. While all secret vaults are already encrypted, this is done just to be safe.
    • During import from a file, you can choose import strategies, such as whether to include derivations, and how to handle duplicate names, public keys, and derivation paths.
    • In the settings tab you'll be notified about new releases if new version arrives.

    Upcoming Changes

    • UI fixes - make everything look slightly better.
    • Improvements to the different import strategies.
    • New functionality added on demand.
