| Latest | 7 Aug 2026 – wallet & Gateway in volunteer, bug-fix-only maintenance; the dApp Toolkit untouched since March |

In the Telegram thread the community suggested putting "the people who are working _for_ Radix" in charge of each area – e.g. whoever maintains the Radix Wallet should lead wallet development. The DAO must formally assume stewardship and funding of the Wallet, Gateway, and dApp Toolkit that the ecosystem depends on.

## Where it stands (7 August 2026)

The three components named in the deliverables below are not being held on the same terms, and none of them is funded. Asked in the Radix Developer Discussion group on 7 August 2026 whether further wallet releases were planned, a contributor answered that there are none: the wallet is being kept going on a volunteer basis with bug fixes only, and the same holds for the Gateway, ["until a future direction is set by the community"](https://t.me/RadixDevelopers/65908) and decided by a proposal. The public repositories agree, read on 8 August 2026:

| Component | Most recent commit | Latest published release |
| --- | --- | --- |
| [babylon-wallet-ios](https://github.com/radixdlt/babylon-wallet-ios) | 30 July 2026 – [a missing-mnemonic defect fix](https://github.com/radixdlt/babylon-wallet-ios/pull/1513) | 1.18.4 (25 November 2025) |
| [babylon-wallet-android](https://github.com/radixdlt/babylon-wallet-android) | 31 July 2026 – [the same fix, a day later](https://github.com/radixdlt/babylon-wallet-android/pull/1447) | 1.22.1 (9 June 2026) |
| [babylon-gateway](https://github.com/radixdlt/babylon-gateway) | 20 May 2026 – [documentation only](https://github.com/radixdlt/babylon-gateway/pull/840) | v1.10.6 (7 April 2026) |
| [radix-dapp-toolkit](https://github.com/radixdlt/radix-dapp-toolkit) | 2 March 2026 – [the subintent-header release merge](https://github.com/radixdlt/radix-dapp-toolkit/pull/324) | v2.3.0 (2 March 2026) |

The two wallet repositories are getting upkeep: a single defect fix, applied to iOS on 30 July and to Android a day later, is the only change on either since 9 June 2026. The [Gateway](/contents/tech/core-protocols/radix-gateway-api) has taken no code change since May. The **Radix dApp Toolkit** — the third component this card names, and the library dApps use to connect to the Radix Wallet — has no volunteer holding it at all: no commit on `main` and no published release since 2 March 2026, with [npm still serving 2.3.0](https://www.npmjs.com/package/@radixdlt/radix-dapp-toolkit) from that date. None of the four repositories is archived, and both wallet apps remain published and installable.

That leaves this card's status correct rather than stale. The route onward was described in the same thread as [three stages](https://t.me/RadixDevelopers/65907) — a draft discussion on [RadixTalk](/ecosystem/radixtalk), a temperature check on the Radix Consultation app, then a governance proposal settling what is done and who does it — and at that date only draft discussions were open, with no proposal in flight. Fuller background at [Radix Wallet](/contents/tech/core-protocols/radix-wallet) and [Radix Governance](/contents/tech/core-concepts/radix-governance).
