Monera keeps Electrum speed while honoring Monero’s privacy stack—ring signatures, stealth destinations, and
confidential amounts—without accounts, trackers, or noisy UI in the way.
Electrum DNA:
lightweight client, your node choice, keys stay local.
Electrum Monero wallet
A privacy-first wallet for Monero.
Monero privacy is protocol-level — Monera keeps it intact with stealth addresses, ring signatures, and RingCT visible in the flow.
Untraceable receiving comes from one-time stealth outputs and subaddresses, not from optional privacy toggles.
Protocol guarantees:
Ring signatures
Obfuscate the sender at construction time.
Sender linkability is broken by construction.
Stealth addresses
Rotate destinations without changing UX.
Each payment resolves to a unique on-chain destination.
Confidential amounts
Hide values while preserving auditability.
Amounts are hidden on-chain; proofs keep transfers verifiable.
No accounts / No telemetry / No tracking SDKs
Structural privacy. Untraceable destinations by default.
On-device
Keys
Keys stay local; view-only export is intentional. Backups are explicit—no silent sync.
Seed phrase
Recovery
Your seed is the master key. No “reset password” illusion—keep it offline and verified.
Your choice
Network
Electrum server for speed, trusted node for control, or your own node for maximum privacy posture.
Node modes
RemoteTrustedOwn
Choose your node, choose your trust. Clear trade-offs, clearly labeled.
Clear releases
Transparency
Signed releases, clear change logs, and deterministic builds where possible.
Ring signatures reduce sender linkability, stealth addresses produce unique destinations, and RingCT hides amounts
while preserving verifiability. Privacy is structural — not a wallet mode.
Amounts are not visible on-chain. Wallets detect incoming transfers by scanning with your keys; the chain does not
expose a readable account balance.
Scanning is how the wallet finds outputs that belong to you. It’s expected and explains why first sync and restores
can take time.
Restore height sets where scanning starts. A correct height can reduce restore time dramatically. If unknown,
you can still restore — the wallet just scans more history.
The seed restores spend authority. Anyone with the seed can control funds. There is no protocol “password reset”.
Use subaddresses for separation (sources, invoices, contexts). They improve organization without adding friction
for senders.
View keys enable read-only visibility for audit/accounting. They do not grant spend control. Share only when you
intentionally need read access.
Remote nodes optimize convenience. Trusted nodes reduce uncertainty. Your own node maximizes control and reduces
reliance on third parties. This is a trust-boundary decision.
It can observe request timing/patterns and network metadata. It can’t reveal hidden amounts on-chain, but metadata
can still matter — hence node choice.
Fees depend on transaction size and network conditions. Privacy mechanisms affect size, so estimation is part of
normal wallet operation.
Yes. Monero supports transaction proofs for cases where you intentionally need verification — without making
amounts public by default.
Mostly legacy. Modern workflows prefer subaddresses and explicit references. If a service still requires legacy
formats, handle it explicitly.
