Electrum Personal Server (EPS)
Bitcoin Nodes
Electrum Personal Server (EPS) is a minimalistic Electrum server that connects only to your own Bitcoin Core node and your own wallets, ensuring complete privacy for SPV queries. Unlike full Electrum servers that index the entire blockchain, EPS is lightweight and resource-efficient, making it ideal for users who want to point the Electrum wallet at their own node without running a full indexing server.
