Bitcoin wallet industry faces disruption as standard interface support ends
A standard interface linking Bitcoin Core to hardware wallets, HWI (Hardware Wallet Interface), is effectively moving toward an end-of-life phase, CryptoSlate reported. The maintainer said HWI has long been in maintenance mode and will stop accepting new devices or features beyond MuSig2 work. A Rust-based successor candidate, BHWI, has not shown practical deployments. Wallet developers that package or invoke HWI are expected to shoulder the immediate burden.
