Wasabi supports Coldcard, Ledger, Trezor, Jade, and Bitbox devices. There shouldn't be any migration necessary, the user can just open Sparrow and use his device there. The caveat is that he needs to configure a full node and Tor on Sparrow first in order to match the privacy of Wasabi.

Can you explain the privacy part to me? Why is wasabi more private by default?

Wasabi uses Tor by default for everything. Additionally, it scans the blockchain using BIP157/BIP158 compact block filters, so you don't share your wallet's addresses with any third party servers.

If you have a Start9 node, you can access the Wasabi app on it from your mobile.

I've made the switch to mobile-only. No PC or server for me. If I can't run it on my phone alone, then i'm not interested in that software.

I might be able to run the desktop Wasabi app on my grapheneOS phone using Winlator (https://github.com/brunodev85/winlator), the user experience would likely be horrible.

Are you running a Bitcoin full node on your phone?

Nah. But i do plan to install Bitcoin Core via Winlator (i don't know if it will work to be honest). I'm fully committed to mobile-only.

I used to have a Raspberry Pi, but it was impractical to carry with me on the go. Raspberry Pis are ewaste, I had regular issues / random bugs all the time that would cause me hours of troubleshooting.
