Electrum ABC is an open source, fast and secure eCash wallet for Windows, MacOS and Linux. It supports mnemonic seed phrases, hardware wallets, multisig wallets, and importing private keys or addresses.
It enables you to verify that your transactions are in the blockchain without downloading the entire blockchain or trusting a centralized server, by using the Simple Payment Verification described in the Bitcoin whitepaper.
Anyone can run a backend server for Electrum ABC — no single entity controls the network.
Electrum ABC can be run from source or from one of the binary releases that can be downloaded from bitcoinabc.org/electrum. The binary releases are recommended for most users.
Running from source is useful for developers or if no binary release is provided for your OS.
Documentation about how to run the application from source is provided in the CONTRIBUTING.md file.
A .tar.gz source package is provided for each release. This package contains all
required dependencies and some optional compiled libraries (libsecp256k1, libzbar)
to run the application from source on Linux.
Electrum ABC natively supports Ledger, Trezor and Satochip hardware wallets. You need additional dependencies when running from source:
pip3 install -r contrib/requirements/requirements-hw.txtIf you still have problems connecting to your Nano S please have a look at this troubleshooting section on Ledger website.
Find out about new features and bugfixes in the release notes.
See the dedicated CONTRIBUTING.md document for instructions about how to contribute to the project and how to contact developers for support.
