Electrum is a free, non‑custodial Bitcoin wallet that uses simplified payment verification (SPV) and supports Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android. Unlike full‑node wallets, Electrum does not download the entire blockchain, instead relying on public servers to provide transaction data . BitBox02 adds a crucial security layer by keeping private keys offline and requiring physical confirmation of transactions.
