Oisy has released version 1.9.4, a tightly focused update that leans into fundamentals rather than flashy additions. The update centres on improving how users interact with ICRC tokens, refining clarity around fees and balances, and smoothing out performance issues that had surfaced for some assets. It is a release that says a lot about the project’s priorities, even though it arrives without a headline-grabbing feature list.
At the core of v1.9.4 is the addition of ICRC mint and burn flows. Users can now set OISY as a token’s minter and mint directly from their wallet. For developers and token issuers working within the Internet Computer ecosystem, this is a practical step that reduces friction. Minting and burning are routine actions, yet they sit at the heart of token economics and governance. Bringing these flows directly into the wallet experience removes the need to rely on external tooling or manual processes, which can introduce complexity and risk.
The update also adds clearer token detail displays, with transaction fees now shown for all ICRC tokens. Fee visibility may sound mundane, but it has real implications for trust and usability. Users regularly cite unclear costs as a point of frustration when moving assets, particularly across newer standards. By making fees explicit at the token level, Oisy is addressing a common pain point that affects both experienced users and newcomers trying to understand why balances change after transactions.
Another change sits in the AI-powered balance view, which now excludes testnet tokens. This adjustment reflects a distinction between experimentation and real holdings. For users who interact with multiple environments, testnet assets can clutter views and blur the picture of actual value. Removing them from the AI balance summary helps present a cleaner snapshot, without affecting access to those tokens elsewhere in the wallet.
Language support has also been expanded, with updated translations for Czech, French, Japanese and Russian. While translation updates rarely attract attention, they are often a signal of where a product sees its audience growing. Wallets are global tools by default, yet usability often lags outside English-speaking markets. Improving translations is a small but steady way to lower barriers for users who prefer to interact in their native language.
Performance fixes round out the release. Loading issues affecting some xStock Solana tokens have been resolved, addressing reports of delays and incomplete data. These sorts of fixes rarely feature in promotional material, yet they shape daily user experience more than most new features. A wallet that loads reliably tends to earn more goodwill than one that promises innovation while struggling with basics.
What stands out in Oisy’s messaging around v1.9.4 is what it does not include. There is no browser extension, no seed phrase requirement, and no shift away from its original design approach. The team is explicit that this is not a new direction or bolt-on capability. The wallet has been fully on-chain since version one, and this release reinforces that foundation rather than reworking it.
That positioning matters in a crowded wallet landscape where products often chase feature parity with competitors. Extensions, recovery phrases and off-chain components are common trade-offs made in the name of convenience or speed to market. Oisy’s approach continues to favour a fully on-chain model, which brings its own constraints but aligns closely with the ethos of the Internet Computer. Supporters argue this reduces reliance on trusted intermediaries, while critics note that fully on-chain designs can limit flexibility or slow iteration. Version 1.9.4 does not settle that debate, but it shows where Oisy stands.
From a broader perspective, the release reflects a period of consolidation across parts of the crypto tooling space. After years where attention was drawn to rapid launches and experimental features, many teams are now focused on reliability, clarity and user confidence. Improvements to fee transparency, balance accuracy and performance fit neatly into that pattern. They may not generate social media buzz, yet they address issues users raise repeatedly.
There is also an implicit bet on the ICRC standard continuing to gain traction. By investing in mint and burn flows and clearer token data for ICRC assets, Oisy is aligning itself closely with that ecosystem. If adoption continues to grow, these changes will feel timely. If momentum stalls, the wallet may need to balance its focus with broader interoperability. For now, the update suggests confidence in the direction of travel.
It is worth noting that v1.9.4 does not attempt to simplify the underlying concepts for users unfamiliar with token mechanics. Minting, burning and fee structures remain technical ideas, even when surfaced through a cleaner interface. Whether Oisy chooses to layer additional guidance or educational cues on top of these tools in future releases remains an open question.
As with any wallet update, real judgement will come from usage rather than release notes. Users will decide whether fee displays are clearer, whether balances feel more accurate, and whether performance issues have genuinely been resolved. Early feedback often focuses less on what changed and more on what feels smoother or less frustrating during routine actions.
For now, Oisy v1.9.4 reads as a maintenance release with intent. It tightens core functionality, reinforces an on-chain-first philosophy and avoids overpromising. In an environment where many products compete for attention by announcing sweeping changes, there is something quietly deliberate about a version that concentrates on foundations.
