# Contributions to Wasabi

### How to donate to Wasabi Wallet?
## Donations

Donations can be made to individual contributors and are highly appreciated.
### Why should I donate?

Wasabi is Free Open Source Software (FOSS).
No service is provided, and therefore it doesn't generate any revenue.
However, maintaining and improving the software requires ongoing effort, such as maintenance, continuous improvement, bug fixes, testing, documentation, regular updates etc...

While Wasabi is one of the best tools available to use Bitcoin privately, achieving flawless financial-sovereign privacy is still a work in progress.
There are many features yet to be implemented, and your support can help make them a reality.

Additionally, contributors cover static costs, such as server expenses and release management, using their personal funds.

By donating, you’re directly supporting the developers who work tirelessly to maintain and improve Wasabi Wallet and make Bitcoin privacy accessible for everyone.

### How I can donate?

You can support The Wasabi Wallet Developers by:

- Clicking the `Donate` button in Wasabi (version > 2.4.0)
- Sending funds to their Silent Payment address: `sp1qq2exrz9xjumnvujw7zmav4r3vhfj9rvmd0aytjx0xesvzlmn48ctgqnqdgaan0ahmcfw3cpq5nxvnczzfhhvl3hmsps683cap4y696qecs7wejl3`

### How will those funds be used?

Funds sent to the Silent Payment address are personal donations to individual members of The Wasabi Wallet Developers, a collective of contributors to the Wasabi Wallet project.

The funds are distributed fairly among active contributors based on their work in improving and maintaining the software, documentation, or other related efforts.
Even new contributors may receive a share of the donations.

Each contributor is individually responsible for handling their tax obligations according to the laws of their jurisdiction regarding personal donations.

### How can I send a Silent Payment in Wasabi?

Just like you would send a normal Bitcoin transaction! Paste the Silent Payment address in the Send window, Wasabi will handle the rest.

## How can I receive a Silent Payment?
### How can I receive a Silent Payment?

Currently, Wasabi cannot be used to generate a Silent Payment address and recognize payments sent to it.
A comprehensive list of wallets supporting silent payments is available [here](https://silentpayments.xyz/docs/wallets/).
Soon, Wasabi will be able to _receive_ Silent Payments too.

## Why Wasabi doesn’t support receiving Silent Payments?
### Why Wasabi doesn’t support receiving Silent Payments?

Receiving Silent Payments is a complex engineering problem.
Additional information (called the tweaks) have to be computed by the server and sent to clients for each block, along with the filters.
This creates more load on both the client and the backend, and Wasabi is a software with a lot of users!
We need to be sure that the feature is fully ready and won’t endanger stability of classic wallet functionalities.

The work is ongoing and this feature should be available in an up-to-come release.
