A Fresh Look for Cake Pay
Cake Pay enables you to pay with your crypto at almost any merchant through gift cards and prepaid cards. To make the process even smoother, we've updated Cake Pay's mobile interface to be both prettier and simpler to use. What you'll notice in our newest update:

Finally, don't forget that Cake Pay for web recently finished its own overhaul as well:
Silent Payments: Fixing The Bugs
We're the first wallet to implement Bitcoin Silent Payments, an important Bitcoin feature that protects both the sender and receiver's privacy. However, being first to new technology means navigating uncharted territory. We want to thank everyone for their patience as we knocked out the following bugs:
- Silent Payment syncing stops after 100 or 1000 blocks
- Swipe-to-refresh disables Silent Payment sync and revert to standard sync
- The Silent Payments card on the home screen incorrectly shows as disabled when
Always Scanningwas enabled after re-opening the app
Thank you to everyone who reported issues and helped us troubleshoot these bugs. Silent Payments are the future of Bitcoin privacy, and we're proud to be pioneering this tech with the community to keep everyone safer.
dEURO Savings Are More Streamlined
We recently released dEURO, a Euro-denominated stablecoin with yield opportunities, and have updated the experience with the following changes:
- Fiat Price Display: The savings module now includes the fiat price of your default currency (for example, if your main currency is USD, you'll now see the USD amount below your dEURO savings)
- Redesigned Interface: Updated savings module UI/UX for better usability
- One-Tap Reinvesting: Added a Reinvest button that directly reinvests interest into your savings balance
