A group of developers recently announced a hard fork of the Samourai Wallet code, launching a mobile wallet as part of the 'Ashigaru Open Source Project.' The project focuses on developing free and open-source software with a strong emphasis on user security, privacy, and censorship resistance. The developers, former users of Samourai Wallet, have no affiliation with the core development team.
