Ambire

Ambire announced it can now send NFTs directly from the wallet, posting "NEW: Send NFTs in a snap" on its X account with a video preview. No version number, technical details, or rollout timeline were shared — the post serves as the feature's launch note.

• The announcement follows the wallet's recent NFT work, including NFT detection in transaction simulation and activity (v2.112.0)
• Sending NFTs was also among the features listed in a community recap Ambire recently retweeted

Ambire's wallet now lets users import up to 20 private keys in one go, announced via the official X account with a preview image. The update, part of release v2.113.0, makes onboarding multiple accounts much faster than the previous one-at-a-time flow.

• Duplicates are skipped and keys already in the wallet are ignored — only genuinely new keys get imported
• Invalid keys are rejected with a plain-language error that never exposes the keys themselves
• No version or rollout details were given in the announcement post; the feature is documented in Ambire's release notes

Ambire's official X account retweeted a community recap (from @cinesiusss) of recent wallet updates: sending NFTs, hardened phishing protection, canceling or speeding up pending transactions, and OneKey hardware wallet support in the extension. The retweet serves as a roundup of features shipped in recent weeks rather than a new announcement — several listed items were already covered individually, including OneKey extension support and NFT handling in simulation and activity. No version numbers, rollout details, or new product information accompanied the post.

The Snapshot vote on Ambire's proposal to replace its two-token staking setup with a single standalone $stkWALLET contract is live, with holders reminded that two days remain before voting closes November 7. In its reminder posts, Ambire restated the plan: staking currently runs through the legacy $xWALLET pool-share model (roughly 1 $xWALLET ≈ 21 $WALLET), and the proposal is to deploy a new contract, migrate staked balances from both $xWALLET and the current $stkWALLET wrapper via a one-click migration from the token page, and retire $xWALLET for good — with the same rewards and benefits and simpler unstaking.

• Terms stay the same: 2% APY, full voting power for $stkWALLET, reduced Swap & Bridge fees, a 30-day leave period, and instant (rage) leave at a 50% exit fee
• New contract will be audited before launch, expected live "in the coming months" if approved
• A follow-up vote will set the migration deadline; if the vote fails, the current setup stays in place

Ambire has added OneKey hardware wallet support to its browser extension, confirmed via the official @ambire X account with the post "NEW: Ambire extension now supports @OneKeyHQ hardware wallet," following team member borislavItskovv's earlier quiet announcement. No version number, technical details, or rollout timeline were shared.

• Extends Ambire's hardware wallet signing lineup, which already covers Ledger, Trezor, Keystone, Keycard, and imToken
• OneKey signing joins the extension's broader clear-signing approach for hardware wallets

L2BEAT, the analytics platform best known for tracking Ethereum Layer 2s, has rebranded to ETHBEAT, broadening its scope to privacy, interoperability, staking, ZK, and tokens while keeping Layer 2 monitoring. The name change was announced November 4 alongside Devcon 8 in Mumbai, with a new CROPS guide that flags projects aligned with anti-censorship, open-source, privacy, and security principles.

Ambire's official X account retweeted the announcement, adding its signal of support for the expanded coverage. No Ambire product changes accompanied the retweet — it reads as ecosystem endorsement of the rebrand.

Ambire shipped privacy enhancements for paying Safe account fees, landing the owner-based gas payer idea it previewed earlier. The wallet now defaults to a payer that reveals nothing new on-chain and warns users if they select a non-linked payer; fee payers in the dropdown are grouped by Safe owners, linked, and not linked, with the Gas Tank marked as the most private option.

Paying a Safe's transaction fees from a separate account permanently and publicly links that account to the Safe on-chain — the link the feature is designed to prevent. Announced via Ambire's official X account with a video preview, the update also remembers the last-used payer per the earlier outline. This complements Ambire's broader Safe work, including per-network Safe activation and the Ice hardware wallet built for Safe accounts.

Vitalik Buterin and Nico demoed Kohaku's privacy features running in the Ambire Wallet at Devcon Mumbai on Tuesday, November 3, with 0xPrivacyPools and TornadoCash built in. Team member 0xSuperKalo confirmed the session, posting that Kohaku was demoed with private sends built into the wallet, which Ambire's official X account retweeted.

Following the demo, Ambire shared Kohaku demo highlights with the quote "It looks like a regular send and that was the goal," and retweeted community member abhinav's post framing private transactions on Ambire as coming via Railgun, privacy pools, and Tornado Cash — all looking like a regular send in Kohaku mode.

The demo is the high point of Ambire's privacy push along the Kohaku (Ethereum Foundation) line of work, following earlier previews of shielded pools built into the wallet. RAILGUN posted that Kohaku is "arriving in a wallet near you," and a KOHAKU UPDATE from casiojapi says users can shield assets in one tap, listing 0xPrivacyPools, Tornado Cash, and Railgun as supported protocols with Ambire as the wallet integration. No rollout timeline was shared.

Ambire announced that its browser extension's side panel mode is now available in more browsers, including Firefox. The update, announced via Ambire's official X account, extends the side-panel interface beyond the browsers that previously supported it.

• No version number, browser list, or rollout details were shared
• The feature announcement does not address the extension's earlier Mozilla delisting saga, though it signals Firefox availability

Ambire unveiled Ambire Ice, its first dedicated hardware wallet, built for Ambire and Safe smart accounts and positioned as a companion to the extension and mobile app. The device decodes Safe transactions on-device and shows individual actions — transfers, approvals, batched operations — on its screen instead of opaque signing requests, replacing blind signing with clear signing (ERC-7730).

• Open-source hardware and firmware (firmware forks Trezor's code), a see-through case, and a dual secure-element architecture using NXP and Infineon chips
• Works as a Safe signer over USB, QR, or Bluetooth, with an air-gap switch for offline signing, and is post-quantum ready as an additional Safe owner
• Pre-orders are open: first 200 devices at $119 (with a non-refundable $10 deposit) versus a $159 full price, in four casing colors, with shipping expected in early 2027; a build-it-yourself option with board files and printable case is also offered
• Devices ship to a PO box by default, a privacy detail commentator cyrille_briere highlighted as "everything" about the wallet — transparent, clear signing, Safe-optimized — which Ambire amplified via retweet
• The launch topped ETH Daily's October 30 roundup; early reception also included retweets from ETH Belgrade and Daedalus Angels
• Announced October 30, 2026 via the official X account, a Chainwire release, and a detailed blog post
