About
Electrum is a Bitcoin-only wallet for people who want control over transactions and wallet setup. It uses servers for blockchain information while keeping private keys out of those servers. That lightweight design has privacy tradeoffs: the main server can associate wallet addresses. Lightning use adds channel management and receiving-capacity requirements. Protect wallet backups and use the official download page to check release signatures.
