Source code: GitHub - ZenulAbidin/electrum-silent-payments-sender: BIP352 Silent Payments sender plugin for Electrum · GitHub

This is a plugin I made that adds support for BIP352 Silent Payments into Electrum desktop. Currently, it lets Electrum users send to Silent Payment addresses.

I have tested the plugin and made sure that it works with all supported types of addresses and transaction configurations in Electrum.

It integrates with Electrum’s normal Send tab:

1052×538 27.7 KB

And it can be done all through software. Once you select inputs, this plugin devices Taproot output, then signs normally.

Features:

  • Electrum 4.6.0+
  • sender only; no scanning/receiving
  • mainnet, testnet, signet, and regtest
  • standard single-signature deterministic software wallets
  • P2PKH, P2WPKH-P2SH, and P2WPKH inputs
  • raw addresses and BIP21 sp payment instructions
  • BIP352 1.1.1, including forward-compatible v1-v30 address parsing

Not supported yet / Todo:

  • hardware, watch-only, imported-key, multisig, and 2FA wallets
  • Taproot inputs, batching, payjoin, or swaps
  • unsigned preview/export or later signing

It hasn’t been audited obviously, so use carefully.

Installation instructions:

  1. Go to Releases, download silent_payments_sender-1.0.0.zip and verify the SHA256 hash.
  2. Electrum → Tools → Plugins → Add plugin.
  3. Select silent_payments_sender-1.0.0.zip and enable it.
  4. Use Electrum’s normal Send tab.

I hope you guys find it useful. And don’t forget to verify the file hash after you download.
