The official BSV Desktop repository released v2.6.2 on July 9. The release notes say the update introduces application-wide HTTP proxy settings and a system application menu for BSV Desktop, and also removes the wallet request timeout. (GitHub)

BSV Desktop is described by the project as a cross-platform desktop wallet application for BSV Blockchain, built with Electron and Vite. The repository says it provides a complete wallet interface with support for both self-custody local storage and remote storage options, with the default configuration using locally stored transactions and metadata. (GitHub)

The v2.6.2 release includes downloadable builds for major desktop platforms, including macOS, Linux AppImage, RPM, Debian package, and Windows installer assets. (GitHub)

BSV TIMES read:
This is a practical wallet-infrastructure update rather than a major public launch. Application-wide proxy settings matter for users and developers operating in more controlled network environments, while a system application menu and timeout adjustment point to desktop usability and reliability work. For BSV Blockchain applications, wallet software remains part of the basic access layer: users and builders need stable tools for managing keys, permissions, transactions, and local data.
