After the PoW update (from X16RT to the current three mining algorithms), stake type, the proof-of-full-node fields, pre-update hashVeilData on stake blocks, and the post-update accumulator body can be rewritten without moving the hash.
This is fixed by rejecting those copies as a possible corruption before storage, and only connecting the copy that this call stored.
We wish to thank the people involved in coding, testing, and reviewing this wallet, especially ohcee.
Updating the wallet software is as simple as replacing the program files veild, veil-qt, veil-cli, …. There is no need to touch your data files. Normal data backup procedures apply.
If you have not already updated to the previous v1.4.4.0 release you will be pleased to discover a great many improvements to the wallet. (See the News post about v1.4.4.0.)

]]>autoconvert=1 to your veil.conf file the wallet, whether the GUI Qt (graphical interface) wallet or the command line veild daemon version your wallet will, once unlocked, gather your largest 32 basecoin or CT unspent transaction outputs and at randomised times every few or more minutes send them to your RingCT funds. Automating this saves you from having to do it manually or write your own script. If you have basecoin funds you may have received them from your mining payouts or from old exchange withdrawals or from an intentional transfer of basecoin transparent funds. If you have CT UTXOs (unspent transaction outputs) you may have received them when you or someone else sent Veil from basecoin utxos to your stealth address, or if you received funds from a zerocoin spend.
Two features that new users will enjoy (without realising it) is firstly, that a fresh, empty wallet will offer to automatically download a quarterly-updated snapshot, removing the need to have to manually go and download a snapshot from the veil.tools website. Secondly, the wallet will much, much more quickly make connections to peer nodes, when the wallet has not previously ever been on the network.
In-wallet mining has also been greatly improved. It is now “technically” possible to mine ProgPoW in the wallet, and easier to mine RandomX. Indicators in the Mining screen have been improved. As mining difficulty, of course, is strong network-wide, you’re not at all likely to mine while sitting there holding your breath in the wallet without a GPU miner or other specialised mining effort, but it is there, and you can try it out on testnet.

]]>As mentioned in our recent blog post 2026 Veil catchup in 2025 TradeOgre exchange closed down and some Veil users will have lost their funds on the exchange. This was reportedly due to a large Bitcoin theft, which send amounts to several exchanges, including some to TradeOgre. We heard that TradeOgre refused to hand over the account holder to the Canadian authorities as the other exchanges had done, and when they demanded that TradeOgre turn over their entire server infrastructure to them TradeOgre disappeared rather than to comply! So, the effect is, that your data is safe, but your funds are gone. That exchange didn’t collect KYC anyway, but they would have had metadata and information about wallet addresses and such that Canada would have liked to have recorded.
Veil trading on Probit Global exchange ended. As trade volume on this KYC-collecting exchange continued to decline since KYC/AML requirements had been enforced in Korea, most of us had progressively stopped trading on the exchange. In 2025 it was no longer viable to continue on Probit. People were notified on Discord, if not directly by Probit, and should have all withdrawn their funds.
A number of people connected with the Veil team had also been users of the Zelcore wallet, and the Zelcore team completed adding Veil at last! This provides the same benefit as Veil’s dedicated light wallet, but for people who would like to manage their funds along with those in other coins. Download the Zelcore wallet from: https://zelcore.io/
This, as the Zelcore wallet, is a non-custodial light wallet. Your keys are your own, and no-one else holds them. Being a light wallet, the back-end infrastructure is provided by other people, but only you hold your coins and can spend your coins.
See our user guides
Veil is now only on NonKYC exchange.
We are looking forward to new listings and welcome free listings, but particularly to Basic Swap DEX in the reasonably near future! I’m sure that they will welcome any new Beta testers!
Have an opinion on any of these things? Weigh in on Veil’s Discord server!
Future mandatory updates as presently planned should only be expected for either a rebase of the wallet code and a change in the budget or foundation multisignature addresses, or to improve Post-Quantum Cryptography security. The replacement of zerocoin staking with RingCT staking has been put aside, as zerocoin staking is working well, and the current economy doesn’t support the required development.
Additional exposure to other technologies may be available if you contribute to and test Veil’s approaching addition to Basic Swap DEX, or if you work on any other platform that Veil may be added to.
]]>As mentioned in our December blog post scammers fake a Veil website and tell people (lies) that there is a Veil “token” and they can win millions of them, even more than the total supply quantity of the real Veil, and people who are not very familiar with Veil believe them and connect to the scammers’ malicious wallet and steal everything in it, including all their Ethereum!
In the face of this we did manage to get the domain cancelled that hosted the fake copy of our website, but everyone should be vigilant and not fall for scams when they first appear.
With the new Veil light/mobile wallet you can use your own node as the backend, especially if you simply want to take your Veil with you on your smartphone, but the primary use case for the mobile wallet is for people who don’t or can’t run their own full node (wallet with a complete, synchronised live copy of the Veil blockchain on it). The light Veil Wallet also offers several languages, including some that are not available in the Veil Core wallet, which is really only complete in English! Russian, English, Esperanto (the Universal Language), Spanish, and now Japanese and Lithuanian are fully supported!

Veil remains on Probit, TradeOgre, and NonKYC exchanges. On the latter anyone can add liquidity to the pools that maintain a narrow pricing spread between bids and offers at all time, and earn a portion of the trading fees on these trades.
We are looking forward to new listings and welcome free listings, but particularly to Basic Swap DEX in the reasonably near future! I’m sure that they will welcome any new Beta testers!
Likewise, our inclusion in the Zelcore desktop wallet (name change pending) is still not completed! They have been super busy since blondfrogs completed the Veil Light Wallet API for Zelcore to use! Glad that our new light wallets from our developer Ivan use it. Followers of Flux and Zelcore might like to remind them of this from time to time.

Future mandatory updates as presently planned should only be expected for either a rebase of the wallet code and a change in the budget or foundation multisignature addresses, or to change Veil staking from zerocoin to RingCT.
The X post is out, inviting C++ developers to join Veil in working on debugging and completing the RingCT Staking development branch. Will you become part of the Veil New Guard?
Additional exposure to other technologies may be available if you contribute to and test Veil’s approaching addition to Basic Swap DEX, or if you work on any other platform that Veil may be added to.
Due to outstanding marketing work entirely self-motivated, the person known on X (formerly Twitter) as VEILionaire is now on staff as our lead marketer or marketing director. We envisage all Veil team roles to become departmental heads as Veil progresses to the next level. Current team roles are multi-tasking, and VEILionaire is no exception. We all, the whole Veil community should be actively marketing, while those who are able, can also contribute to coding and to new exchanges and services listings.
Further on the topic of marketing, in order to facilitate the Official Twitter account of Veil Project participating in X Spaces (audio conversations on X in iOS or Android) which can only be started by an X Premium account, please follow Kid Plankton on X.
]]>In short, the two biggest changes people will notice are:
The actual release date was July 12th, a few weeks earlier than writing this post, and it was only announced in our Discord community and on X.com/Twitter, as there was no rush. this announcement will be followed up with announcements on other platforms in the near future.

]]>Veil Core wallet v1.4.0 is a mandatory update that in addition to extending Proof of Work mining from block 2,000,000 (November 2022) until the end of Veil’s Supply, (block 9,816,000), as the recent 1.3.0 wallet does, but also in January will reduce the GPU memory size needed for Veil ProgPoW proof of work mining allowing people with cheaper graphics cards to mine Veil. All Veil users need to install this update, but any who have not already installed v1.3.0.0 need to do it before November, in a little over one month.
Updating the wallet software is as simple as replacing the program files veild, veil-qt, veil-cli, …. There is no need to touch your data files. Normal data backup procedures apply.
All exchanges, services, miners, stakers, and all users need to upgrade before block 2 million in early November, if the wallet version v1.3.0.0 has not already been installed, or otherwise by January, ready for the mining change allowing smaller graphic cards to be able to mine Veil. This is a mandatory update.

]]>Veil Core wallet v1.3.0 is a mandatory update that extends Proof of Work mining from block 2,000,000 (November 2022) until the end of Veil’s Supply (block 9,816,000). This change has been included in our master branch for a couple of months, but not in any previous release. To be sure, you need to upgrade.
All exchanges, services, miners, stakers, and all users need to upgrade before block 2 million, expected by November, regardless of whether we have another mandatory upgrade activating by then.
This release also creates a RingCT light-wallet API enabling Zelcore to include Veil in their wallet using RingCT privacy.
What this feature does: Zelcore or another wallet using the same API can connect to a Veil core wallet that is launched in light wallet API mode, to enable the third party light wallet to do RingCT transactions and to display the wallet balances.
What this feature does not do: This does not make the Veil core wallet a light wallet in itself.
Miners can now see which Proof of Work type they mined any particular basecoin mining win.
A fix is included for some macOS segmentation faults.
Some refactoring has been committed specific to the future RingCT staking functionality.
The scroll bar height has been given a minimum height so that wallets with many transactions do not find themselves with a microscopic and unusable scroll bar!
