TL;DR

The root README still introduced the project as Freighter and linked to freighter.app. It now says Varial (noting it was formerly Freighter), links to varialwallet.com, and names the SDK by its new npm package, @stellar/varial-sdk. No behavior changes.

Implementation details (for agents)

What changed (README.md):

  • Title and intro: "Varial (formerly Freighter)", and the link is now https://varialwallet.com/, the homepage the About screen links to.
  • SDK mentions use the package name from chore: publish the dApp SDK as @stellar/varial-sdk 7.0.0 #3051, @stellar/varial-sdk. The old @stellar/freighter package name was already wrong.
  • "deployment of Freighter backend" now says "deployment of the backend".
  • Safari section: "Varial" in the prose, and the example Xcode project is varial-safari.

Left as is: these are real names that the rebrand didn't change. That covers the stellar/freighter and stellar/freighter-backend* repo links, the /freighter checkout folder, the /@stellar/freighter-api workspace directory (#3051 kept it), and the start:freighter-api / build:freighter-api script names.

Also in the diff: the pre-commit translations hook re-sorted three keys in the en and pt translation.json files (To and Review Send). The text is unchanged. #3048 left them out of order, so any commit made with the hook produces this same change.

Verification: Prettier reformatted the README, and its diff only touches the lines above. The pre-commit hooks pass.

Follow-ups / out of scope: extension/README.md, DEVELOPMENT.md, CONTRIBUTING.md and AGENTS.md still say Freighter in places.
