About Electrum

Electrum is a Bitcoin-only wallet that has been in continuous development since 2011. It runs on Windows, macOS and Linux, and on Android, where it is published on Google Play and F-Droid. It can also be run straight from the Python source.

Release executables are reproducible and signed independently by several builders, and the project provides GPG signatures and instructions for verifying downloads. The site warns users to download Electrum only from electrum.org, which suits people who want to check exactly what they are installing.
