Most browser and mobile XEC wallets are optimised for one-tap sending. Electrum ABC covers the harder ground: hardware signing, multisig treasuries, and scripting.

Fit check

Who each feature is for.

Long-term holders

Pair Electrum ABC with a Ledger or Trezor and keep the wallet file encrypted. The private key never leaves the hardware device.

Active traders

Batch send, custom fees, coin control, and CashFusion give you the control a browser wallet does not.

Businesses & payroll

Multisig m-of-n across separate people or devices removes the single-key blast radius from treasury handling.

Developers & auditors

Read the source, run your own Fulcrum server, drive the wallet from the CLI, and script XEC flows end-to-end.
FAQ

Feature questions, answered.

Does Electrum ABC store my private keys on a server?+

No. Electrum ABC is a non-custodial desktop wallet — private keys stay on your machine, encrypted with your password, and never touch our infrastructure.

Which hardware wallets does Electrum ABC support?+

Ledger, Trezor, Coldcard, and Satochip. The device signs XEC transactions on-device; Electrum ABC only forwards signed data.

Is Electrum ABC really free?+

Yes. The wallet is MIT-licensed open-source software with no subscriptions, no accounts, and no built-in fees beyond standard eCash network fees.

Can I use Electrum ABC without giving up privacy?+

You can connect to your own Fulcrum/Electrum server instead of a public one, and CashFusion lets you mix your own UTXOs before spending.
