Segwit | Replace-by-Fee

Segwit Addresses

What are segwit addresses? Transactions that spend bitcoins secured by segregated witness (segwit) use less block weight than equivalent non-segwit (legacy) transactions, allowing segwit transactions to pay less total fee to achieve the same feerate as legacy transactions.

Replace-by-Fee (RBF)

What is Replace-by-Fee (RBF)? An unconfirmed transaction can be replaced by another version of the same transaction that spends the same inputs. Most full nodes support this if the earlier transaction enables BIP125 signaling and the replacement transaction increases the amount of fee paid. In terms of block chain space used, this is the most efficient form of fee bumping.

Tested: version 2.5.6 on iOS

Tested on: 2018-10-31

Receiving support

  • Notification does not note RBF
    Notification of incoming transaction does not note that the transaction signals RBF.
  • Received transaction not labeled replaceable in list
    Does not visually indicate that an incoming transaction has signaled RBF.
  • Received transaction not labeled replaceable in transaction details
    Does not visually indicate that a received transaction has signaled RBF when viewing the transaction details.
  • Shows replacement and original transactions
    Both the original transaction and replacement transaction(s) are shown in the transaction list.

Sending support

  • Signals BIP125 replacability when sending transactions
    Allows sending of BIP125 opt-in-RBF transactions in the interface.
  • Sent transaction not labeled replaceable in list
    Does not visually indicate that an outgoing transaction has signaled RBF.
  • Sent transaction not labeled replaceable in transaction details
    Does not visually indicate that a sent transaction has signaled RBF when viewing the transaction details.
  • Not tested: Are replacement and original sent transactions displayed?
    We were not able to test this because sending a BIP125 signaling transaction is not supported.
