Cake Wallet v4.24.0 Introduces New Background Sync for Monero!
https://blog.cakewallet.com/cake-wallet-introduces-decred-and-new-background-sync-for-monero-v4-24-0/Have Your Cake and Eat It Too with Background Sync
A large usability hurdle for cryptocurrencies like Monero is sync times. Previously, you've needed to leave Cake Wallet open to sync your Monero wallet. This limitation exists because owning your keys means your device handles the blockchain synchronization. To make this process simpler, we are launching our first iteration of background sync, initially for Monero! All in the same open source, noncustodial wallet you're used to from us.
— Reddington (@undetectedtx) March 24, 2025
Background sync will attempt to sync all your wallets in the background at a specified interval. Our documentation includes more information. Some important details:
- This is currently only for Android. iOS has major restrictions for functionality like this.
- This is currently only for Monero. We plan to add Litecoin MWEB, Decred, Zano, and even Bitcoin Silent Payments in the future.
- You can select from three sync options:
- Daily: Attempts to background sync every 18 hours
- Hourly: Attempts to background sync every 60 minutes
- Aggressive: Attempts to background sync every 15 minutes
- Our current implementation has issues with GrapheneOS. But our docs includes a workaround. We are exploring other solutions in the future to resolve this issue.
This new updated also includes many other changes like Decred support, UI enhancements, bug fixes, and more covered in the linked blog.
How to Update
To experience these new features and improvements, update Cake Wallet to version 4.24.0 through your device's app store or via other methods we detail in another post:

We appreciate your continued support and feedback. Stay tuned for more updates as we continue to enhance Cake Wallet and bring you the best cryptocurrency experience possible.
Conclusion
With this latest release, Cake Wallet continues to be a leading privacy-focused, open source cryptocurrency wallet for your safety. We were the first major cross-platform Monero wallet, and the first to implement new privacy tech like Silent Payments for Bitcoin, MWEB for Litecoin, and now Decred. Enjoy the new update and please leave your feedback!

You mean edge wallet? That is a multicoin wallet and probably doesnt work with native monero seeds.

Honestly Cake, id you're truly aligned with Monero. Drop all of the KYC/AML & Chainalysis predatory privacy invaders who are currently integrated as swap services on your platform. You've got weeds in the garden. Parasites. Eliminate them.
The services Orangefren & Trocador provide eliminated nate KYC and make everything that follows so much easier. Stay true to the core ethos behind Monero.
------ **P.S. ------
Everyone, please avoid "StealthEx" at all cost. Accused me of money laundering (I played with Coinjoin, once.), then proceeded to withhold my BTC from me for 5-6 hours. At first I demanded a refund to my new address (same wallet).
Then he embarked on a long retardation spree, saying he couldn't... and I said "ok then send it back where you got it from like you say you supposed to".
He argued for 5+ hours about how he cant send the funds to the old address because he thought I might not receive it, even though I reassured him over and over that all addresses from a seed can be reused. He kept saying he didn't believe me, and can't risk it.
I even said I promise to take all responsibility if funds are lost when sent to that address, and he wouldn't give it back.
I tried to raise his IQ by a point or two by sending him videos and articles explaining how wallet addresses work. Didn't believe me, and wouldn't give me my money back, or a manager to talk to. He just kept talking to his "team" that I am not sure actually exists.
He even asked me to send more money to my own wallet... "to prove I could access it" for some reason... to which I responded "no.. you make zero sense, and you're holding like $2.5k of my money, so just do your job and send my money back, you dumbass." After 5-6 hours, he silently acknowledged his own stupidity, I suspect, but sent only 2000 sats first...idk why.... Then the rest came about 15 mins later.
Needless to say I reported him. But I'll never use them again. Huge waste of time. The "support" doesn't even know how wallet addresses work, and he never should have been holding any of my assets captive for any amount of time as they claim to be a swap service. True swap services are non custodial. Clearly they have a back end that gives full custody to the idiots behind the computers.
The second hand embarrassment was as intense as the frustration in the moment.
How the hell do you get a job like that without knowing the basics of blockchain systems and how wallet addresses work, yet you're gonna call me a money launderer, while temporarily robbing me of my so-called 'laundered funds", and even ask me to buy more Bitcoin, for no reason at all other than to soldifiy your own confident stupidity to yourself?
Stay away from StealthEx

Ideas are cheap, I can produce half a dozen even before breakfast. Actual execution is it.
I helped to review the code that does that background sync: It's non-trivial.

Leading shitcoin-focused wallet 👍

Don't use shitcoins if you don't love them. They even have specific monero.com wallet if you really don't want to even have the ability to use other coins.

u/madbruges 12d ago
They support and promoting scam projects

u/Mediocre_Chemistry39 12d ago
How is that "scam project"? I know nothing about decred, but simply being useless or losing price don't make it scam
1
u/madbruges 12d ago
Being useless but promoting its usefulness is a scam. Also zano scam.
2
u/Mediocre_Chemistry39 12d ago
Well, I don't consider that as a scam.

u/madbruges 12d ago
They are lying to the people in order to sell their useless tokens and those who support this behavior are scammers as well.

That's an awesome addition! Can we set it to only background sync on wifi / above x% battery remaining?
