Can you share which wallets you found don't check SPV proofs?

Came to ask this too

Blue wallet says so in their FAQ. Mutiny apparently just trusts the Esplora server they're connected to. Sparrow apparently asks for headers, but no Merkle proof. The version of Nunchuk I have also doesn't, but I think it's a old one.

There may be more, but I'm too lazy to look for

Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'm working with an Electrum Server, so I look at a bunch of traces of different wallets talking with the server. That's my main source of info (except for mutiny, which uses Esplora. That one I've looked at the rust code)

One thing that popped to mind about sparrow: I'm using a "private Electrum Server", so maybe they do check for public nodes.

Thank you so much for sharing; didn't know this and will read through the docs more.

Jesus it seems like wallets don't want to do that work (checking proofs)

Is it your own ElectrumRS? If so I'd assume it does so but not sure
