zkSNACKs, the developer of Wasabi wallet, has shut down its coinjoin coordinator since June. The news is not surprising, considering that it has already been unavailable for the US customers since May.

Since the wallet itself is non-custodial (you hold the keys), and it's using block filters to update your balance directly from the bitcoin network, the wallet functionality is intact. However, if you want to coinjoin, you have to find another public coordinator.

A list of currently active coordinators is available on wabisator.com, or wasabist.io

Coordinators do not require any privileged access to private information, so it should be safe to use any 3rd party coordinator with enough real active users. At no point are your funds at risk of being stolen.

However, a dedicated attacker running a public coordinator could still pull a de-anonymization attack by mixing your coins solely with their own outputs.
