The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit is a performance optimization for the Firo wallet in Stack Wallet. It replaces many individual ElectrumX server lookups with batched requests when restoring or refreshing a wallet, and it removes some redundant confirmation checks. The changes are mostly about speed and efficiency, not about fixing a security vulnerability. There is one small behavior change: the code now assumes any transaction already recorded with a block height is confirmed, instead of double-checking it every refresh. That is a reasonable optimization for Firo but could theoretically miss a rare blockchain reorganization. No exploit or backdoor is visible in the diff.

Recommended action

Treat as a routine optimization commit. Reviewers may want to confirm that the batched RPC responses are validated (e.g., missing txids do not trigger unhandled exceptions) and that the new 'confirmed if height present' assumption is acceptable given Firo's reorg risk. No security patch or incident response is indicated by the diff.

Security signals we found

01

New batched RPC path added (blockchain.transaction.get batch) — standard ElectrumX feature, no auth bypass

02

Assumption introduced: transactions with non-null height > 1 in local DB are treated as confirmed and skipped on refresh

03

Null-assertion operator (!) used on batched lookup maps (someInputTxns[txid]!, coinsToCheckTransactions[coin.txHash]!) — safe only if server returns all requested txids

04

Removed per-refresh re-verification of confirmed transactions, reducing resilience to chain reorganizations

05

No input sanitization changes for txids or RPC responses
