Electrs is an efficient Electrum server re-implementation written in Rust that indexes the entire Bitcoin blockchain using RocksDB. It lets users self-host an Electrum server on hardware comparable to a full node, enabling fast wallet balance and transaction history queries while preserving privacy.
Use cases
- self-host an Electrum server for my Bitcoin wallet
- index the Bitcoin blockchain for fast balance queries
- run a private Electrum server without leaking my addresses to third parties
- track wallet balances and transaction history in real time via Electrum wallet
- serve Electrum protocol queries from my own full node
When to choose
- you want a privacy-preserving personal or small-scale (family/friends) Electrum server
- you have a Bitcoin full node and modest extra hardware resources
- you need fast blockchain synchronization and low index storage overhead
- you prefer a resource-efficient Rust implementation over ElectrumX
When to avoid
- you want to run a large public Electrum server exposed to the internet (use the Blockstream electrs fork instead)
- you need to serve many concurrent users at scale
- you cannot run a Bitcoin full node alongside it
