45 MBupdated 2026-09-05 ★ 4.5FreeWallets

Electrum is a lightweight Bitcoin wallet that syncs through public servers instead of downloading the full blockchain. It supports hardware wallets, multisignature setups, offline signing, and adjustable transaction fees for both on-chain and Lightning payments.

The wallet is open source and stores keys encrypted on your device. An offline mode works with air-gapped machines, and seed phrases can be imported from most other Bitcoin wallets, including Electrum-format and BIP39 variants.
