Download#
Dash Electrum is maintained by Dash Incubator member pshenmic and is released through his GitHub account. Downloads are available from the official Dash website or directly from GitHub:
You can optionally verify the authenticity of your download by checking its detached signature against the public key published by pshenmic. Run the following commands (example for Linux):
wget https://github.com/pshenmic/electrum-dash/releases/download/4.1.7.7/Dash-Electrum-4.1.7.7-x86_64.AppImage
wget https://github.com/pshenmic/electrum-dash/releases/download/4.1.7.7/Dash-Electrum-4.1.7.7-x86_64.AppImage.asc
curl https://keybase.io/pshenmic/pgp_keys.asc | gpg --import
gpg --verify Dash-Electrum-4.1.7.7-x86_64.AppImage.asc
The output should contain the following line:
gpg: Good signature from "Mikhail Pshenichnikov <pshenmic@gmail.com>"

Creating a New Wallet#
Dash Electrum gathers configuration data when run for the first time. For more on the concepts behind this process, skip to the later sections of this guide discussing backups, security, and addresses. When setting up Dash Electrum for the first time, a wizard will guide you through the process of creating your first wallet. The first screen asks how you would like to connect to the remote server. Select Auto connect and click Next to continue. You will see a notice that no wallet currently exists. Enter a name for your wallet (or accept the default name) and click Next to create your wallet.
Selecting the server and naming your first wallet#
You will be asked what kind of wallet you want to create. Choose between Standard wallet, Multi-signature wallet and Watch Dash addresses. If you are unsure, select Standard wallet and click Next to continue. You will then be asked how you want to store/recover the seed. If stored safely, a seed can be used to restore a lost wallet on another computer. Choose between Create a new seed, I already have a seed, Use public or private keys or Use a hardware device. If you are using Electrum Dash for the first time and not restoring an existing wallet, choose Create a new seed and click Next to continue.
Selecting the wallet type and keystore#
Electrum Dash will generate your wallet and display the recovery seed. Write this seed down, ideally on paper and not in an electronic format, and store it somewhere safe. This seed is the only way you can recover your wallet if you lose access for any reason. To make sure you have properly saved your seed, Electrum Dash will ask you to type it in as a confirmation. Type the words in the correct order and click Next to continue.
Generating and confirming the recovery seed#
A password optionally secures your wallet against unauthorized access. Adding a memorable, strong password now improves the security of your wallet by encrypting your seed from the beginning. Skipping encryption at this point by not selecting a password risks potential theft of funds later, however unlikely the threat may be. Enter and confirm a password, ensure the Encrypt wallet file checkbox is ticked and click Next to continue.
Entering and confirming a wallet encryption password#
Your Dash Electrum wallet is now set up and ready for use.
