Topics Covered

Every lesson in the course.

Lesson 1 — Installation & Verification

Download from the official source and verify the GPG signature. Protects you from malware and fake wallets — the step most beginners skip.

Lesson 2 — Seed Phrase Security

How to back up your 12 words, verify the backup is correct, and what physical storage options exist for long-term safety.

Lesson 3 — Hardware Wallets

Connect Ledger, Trezor, or Coldcard to Electrum. Sign transactions in hardware while managing your wallet in software.

Lesson 4 — Multisig Vaults

Configure M-of-N multisig wallets. Learn 2-of-3 and 3-of-5 setups, and when multisig makes sense for your situation.

Lesson 5 — Fees & Mempool
