  • electrum-personal-server

    Maximally lightweight electrum server for a single user

    • The most secure , "active" wallet would be a hardware wallet integrated with a full node . One way to do this easily is to run your own electrum server https://github.com/chris-belcher/electrum-personal-server https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1JMP4NZCC5g and than integrate electrum wallet with your HW wallet and connect to your electrum server.

  • umbrel

    A beautiful home server OS for self-hosting with an app store. Buy a pre-built Umbrel Home with umbrelOS, or install on a Raspberry Pi 4, Pi 5, any Ubuntu/Debian system, or a VPS.

    • Running an economic full node greatly improves your security and privacy and the security of the network as a whole. This means that you must link your full node to your personal wallet . This is typically done with electrum personal server + electrum (or these 2 and a hw wallet is better) or using a full node like https://getumbrel.com/ is another example
