## What is Electron Cash?

Electron Cash is a full-featured SPV wallet for Bitcoin Cash.

Electron Cash is "power user friendly". It allows users ultimate control over their bitcoins and over their private keys, and its user interface is friendly enough that it can be used by novices as well.

Electron Cash supports all the major features one would expect from a Bitcoin Cash wallet.  It is the iOS port of the desktop app, which itself is derived from the Electrum wallet for Bitcoin. (So it has good lineage.)

With Electron Cash YOU control your keys -- and thus your bitcoins.

INSTANT ON - Electron Cash is fast, because it uses servers that index the Bitcoin Cash blockchain.

NO LOCK-IN -  You can export your private keys and use them in other Bitcoin Cash clients or wallets.

NO DOWNTIME - Electron Cash servers are decentralized and redundant. Your wallet is never down.

PROOF CHECKING - Electron Cash Wallet verifies all the transactions in your history using SPV.

COLD STORAGE - Keep your private keys offline, and go online with a watching-only wallet.

What is an SPV wallet? 

SPV stands for Simplified Payment Verification. It was first described by Satoshi Nakamoto in the original Bitcoin whitepaper. This method allows a wallet to provide strong security without the need for downloading the blockchain or running a full node. SPV lets you validate your own transactions by ensuring they are confirmed in the blockchain. It uses the best header chain with the most cumulative proof of work and the correct hashing difficulty level. Electron Cash relies on a distributed network of servers which handle the heaviest part of blockchain operations. Your private keys sign transactions locally. They are never sent to the servers.

## Key features

- Control your own private keys
- Mnemonic seed phrase backup
- High security without full node

### 3/5 — Show USD balance?

*2024-04-02*

Any way to show USD balance? All I see everywhere are balances in BCH or mBCH?

### 5/5 — BCH to the moon.

*2024-02-21*

Electron Cash is the best wallet I have ever used. BitcoinCash is real Bitcoin.

### 1/5 — Don’t work with iOS 15

*2021-09-26, version 4.2.3*

Don’t work with iOS 15

### 3/5 — IPhone 11 (14.4) (incompatibility)

*2021-02-28*

When creating a new wallet the password creation lines can’t be used properly, they are completely obscured by a yellow password suggestion text box

### 5/5 — The Best! BitcoinCash Wallet App

*2021-01-19*

I’ve been using this wallet app for years and it’s just the best available, with great features like full coin control, address control, import/export of unlimited (I think) wallets, and multiple wallet support at once, with easy switching back and forth.

### 5/5 — Годный кошелёк

*2020-02-15, version 4.0.113*

Быстро и стабильно

### 5/5 — Функциональный кошелек

*2019-11-06, version 4.0.113*

Можно использовать вкупе с версией для ПК, где доступен миксер CashShuffle для большей анонимности транзакций

### 1/5 — Used to be good

*2018-12-22*

But now they dropped support for BSV. UNINSTALLED. I even tested and helped out in the pre release. Thanks for nothing.

### 4/5 — Taking off one star because...

*2018-07-15*

This version cannot construct an unsigned transaction from a watch-only wallet, like the android version does. This functionality is crucial for me, please consider adding it.

### 5/5 — P2SH

*2018-07-13, version 3.3*

When can I create a P2SH wallet?
