LIGHTWEIGHT

CATCOIN WALLET

Electrum-CAT is a simple, lightweight, but powerful Catcoin wallet. A unique secret phrase (or "seed") leaves intruders stranded and your peace of mind intact. Keep it on paper, or in your head... and never worry about losing your Catcoins to theft or hardware failure.

Ensure you ONLY download Electrum-CAT from here, https://electrum-cat.org, or from Windows, Android, MacOS and Linux official stores.
You can also clone and build from CatcoinCore Github Account.
It's very risky to copy and paste UNKNOWN code on Electrum-CAT console. Scammers could use it to syphon your Catcoin.

Features

Electrum-CAT inherits all features of the original Electrum wallet built for BTC in November 2011 and maintained till date.

Background

Electrum-CAT is a direct fork of Electrum-GRS (V4.5.4) in February 2025. Electrum-GRS itself is a direct fork of the original Electrum BTC since 2015 and has been well maintained till date.

Electrum-GRS was ported to Electrum-CAT by James Agu of JJ-Com Tech at the request of Catcoin Team 3 (Unofficial). It is well tested, published and maintained by Catcoin Team 3 (Unofficial), JJ, IT4F and a team of dedicated and enthusiastic Catcoin community members, including @Catcoin20133 and @VmVeSt

While porting to Electrum-CAT, we generally deactivated or hid some features of the original Electrum wallet not yet supported on the Catcoin Network or those we didn't have the requesite resources to fully test. This we did to clear the interface and elimnate confusion. Such features include Segwit, RBF, Lightning Channel, Multi-Signature, Dynamic and Mempool Fee types. We will gradually enable them in subsequent updates.

Instant Sync

Electrum-CAT is lightweight and fast because it doesn't need to download the whole blockchain, which is instead maintained on a tamper-proof, remote server.

Safe

Your unique secret phrase and private keys are never sent to the Electrum-CAT servers. All information received from the server is verified using Simplified Payment Verification (SPV).

Forgiving

Don't worry about hardware or software failures of any kind, your funds can be recovered with your Sacret Phrase or Private Key.

No Lock-In

You can export your Private Keys and use them in other Catcoin clients.

Multi-Platform

Electrum-CAT can be used on Android, Windows, Linux and MacOS. It has desktop view (along with Command Line Interface) and sleek mobile view.

Cold Storage

Keep your private keys offline, and go online with a watching-only wallet using the Public Key

No Downtimes

Electrum-CAT servers (ElectrumX) are decentralized and redundant. Your wallet is never down. You can even setup and connect to your own ElectrumX server since it is Open-Source

Build Unsigned Binaries from Source

Build Unsigned Binaries from Source

We encourage you to build unsigned binaries of Electrum-CAT from source yourself if you have the time and resources. This will enable you verify our binaries (V4.5.9) were all generated from the same CatcoinCore/electrum-cat Github repository. It's not too technical!

All Binaries (V4.5.9)

General Requirements

The following are common pre-requisites for building Electrum-CAT binary for any platform:

Minimum hardware requirements are 8 CPU Cores, 8GB RAM and 100GB of free storage
Ubuntu 22.04 (highly recommended)
Use a sudo account (NOT root)
Ensure Python 3.10.12 or higher is installed
Install git (Ubuntu 22.04 has git installed by default)

Install Docker Image (Ref: guide source)
a) Update Ubuntu package manager and install Docker:

curl -fsSL https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu/gpg | sudo apt-key add -
sudo add-apt-repository "deb [arch=amd64] https://download.docker.com/linux/ubuntu $(lsb_release -cs) stable"
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y docker-ce
b) Include your current sudo user in docker group:
sudo usermod -aG docker ${USER}
c) Reboot the system:
sudo reboot

Make a directory for Electrum-CAT source code:

cd ~/ && mkdir catenv && cd catenv

Clone the source code from catcoincore/electrum-cat:

git clone https://github.com/CatcoinCore/electrum-cat.git

Command into electrum-cat directory and checkout master:

cd ~/catenv/electrum-cat && git checkout master
