Status Desktop - 2.33.0
Important note: users on macOS with Intel chips should not upgrade to this version due to a critical bug causing app crashes in this release. For more details, see the 'Known Issues' section.
The headline feature of the latest update is Base support, but Status v2.33 also brings another key integration—Mercuryo as an in-app fiat on-ramp provider. This allows users to buy crypto directly through Mercuryo, including subscriptions and recurring purchases.
Additionally, this release introduces the watch account feature, gives users the ability to select transaction speed (Normal, Fast, or Urgent), and updates the app’s token list to ensure access to the latest tokens for seamless operations and swaps on supported chains.
