On 2025-09-06, SSP Wallet v1.26.0 shipped a quiet but very welcome batch of UX fixes. Custom wallet names are now editable per chain; a global error handler turns hard crashes into a recoverable dialog; chain logos replace the generic SSP icon as the default in the multi-chain picker; and the navigation bar gets a round of polish. Nothing here changes the multisig invariant — every transaction still needs approval from both your wallet and your phone — but the day-to-day experience of running a multi-chain vault is noticeably less friction-y.
Name your wallets
This is the headline feature, and if you only use one wallet on one chain you can be forgiven for shrugging at it. If you don't, you have already felt the problem.
Until v1.26.0, every wallet in SSP carried a generic identifier — "Wallet 1," "Wallet 2," "Wallet 3" — and the burden of remembering what each one was for sat in your head. Cold storage on Bitcoin? That's Wallet 2. The vault that touches DeFi on Ethereum? Wallet 4, probably. Or was it 5?
In v1.26.0, every wallet can be renamed, on every chain, to whatever phrase actually means something to you. "BTC Cold Vault" instead of "Wallet 1." "ETH DeFi" instead of "Wallet 3." "BSC Trading" instead of "Wallet 5." The name is yours and stays with the wallet across sessions.
The renaming is per chain, which is the right default. The same root account can play very different roles across networks — a Bitcoin balance might be long-term cold storage while the corresponding Ethereum balance is the one you use for DeFi — and forcing one name across all chains would just push the disambiguation problem from "Wallet 1" to "Wallet Bob."
Simplified naming scheme
Under the surface, v1.26.0 also tidies the default naming scheme of wallets. The old labels were defensible but lumpy; the new scheme is shorter and more predictable, so that even when you haven't bothered to rename anything yet, the auto-generated labels read more naturally in the picker. Existing wallets keep their identity and their balances — only the display name normalises.
Crashes now have a soft landing
The other meaningful change in v1.26.0 is invisible until you need it. SSP now installs a global error handler at the top of the React tree. If a component throws somewhere deep in the wallet flow — a race condition fetching a balance, an unexpected response from a chain RPC, a bug in a third-party library — the wallet no longer goes white. Instead, you get a user-friendly error dialog that explains what happened, offers to reload the affected view, and leaves your session and keys intact.
This is the difference between "the wallet died and I don't know what state I'm in" and "something glitched in this view; reload and continue." The latter is just a small bump. The error boundary captures the React exception, surfaces a recoverable dialog, and lets you reset the affected screen without re-authenticating or re-importing anything. Your seed never enters the picture.
Chain logos as defaults
Multi-chain support is a feature, but it's also a UI test. SSP now spans well over a dozen networks — the more you add, the more critical it is that the picker is parseable at a glance.
Before v1.26.0, every chain entry showed the SSP logo by default. That made the chain list a uniform wall of SSP marks where the visual distinction was textual. In v1.26.0, each chain shows its own logo — the Bitcoin orange B, the Ethereum diamond, the Polygon purple, the Avalanche red — as the default, and SSP's branding moves to where it belongs: at the level of the app, not on every row. Add custom names on top of that and the wall-of-text problem is gone.
Navigation polish
The release also bundles a series of small navigation-bar optimisations. Spacing and active-state styling have been tuned; the bar no longer feels like a placeholder for the dashboard, which on smaller windows used to make it harder to tell where you were in the flow.
None of this changes what SSP does. It changes how it feels to use SSP every day — and once your wallets have names and your crashes have a soft landing, you stop noticing the wallet, which is the point.
