Verify

Check the file before install

Use the command for your operating system and compare the output with the checksums above or with the checksum manifest files.

If the binaries and manifest files are in the same folder, systems with shasum can verify the whole set at once:

shasum -a 256 -c SHA256SUMS.txt
shasum -a 512 -c SHA512SUMS.txt

Windows PowerShell

Get-FileHash .\electrum-zec-4.5.1-x64.exe -Algorithm SHA256
Get-FileHash .\electrum-zec-4.5.1-x64.exe -Algorithm SHA512
Get-AuthenticodeSignature .\electrum-zec-4.5.1-x64.exe

macOS Terminal

shasum -a 256 electrum-zec-4.5.1-x64.dmg
shasum -a 512 electrum-zec-4.5.1-x64.dmg
spctl --assess --type open --verbose electrum-zec-4.5.1-x64.dmg

Linux shell

sha256sum electrum-zec-4.5.1-x86_64.AppImage
sha512sum electrum-zec-4.5.1-x86_64.AppImage
chmod +x electrum-zec-4.5.1-x86_64.AppImage

Signatures

Signature status

No detached signature files are bundled in this site build.

The releases/ folder contains the three binary release files plus checksum manifests generated for this page. It does not contain .asc, .sig, or .minisig files, so this site does not expose signature download buttons that would lead nowhere.

When detached signatures are published, place them beside the release files and verify them before comparing hashes:

gpg --verify electrum-zec-4.5.1-x64.exe.asc electrum-zec-4.5.1-x64.exe
gpg --verify electrum-zec-4.5.1-x64.dmg.asc electrum-zec-4.5.1-x64.dmg
gpg --verify electrum-zec-4.5.1-x86_64.AppImage.asc electrum-zec-4.5.1-x86_64.AppImage

Install

Platform notes

Windows

Download the .exe, verify the SHA256/SHA512 hash, inspect Authenticode output, then run the installer from a trusted local path.

macOS

Download the .dmg, verify the hash, open the disk image, and keep the mounted app path clear before moving it into Applications.

Linux

Download the AppImage, verify the hash, set it executable, and launch it from a directory where you keep wallet software releases.

Zcash guide

ZEC, transparent context, and shielded context

Zcash is the network and protocol. ZEC is the asset used for balances, sends, receives, and fees. Wallet screens may show transparent and shielded contexts differently, so check the address type and the amount before signing a transaction.

Transparent addresses

Transparent activity is visible on-chain. Use this context when the receiver, exchange, or service requires a transparent address.

Shielded addresses

Shielded activity is designed for Zcash privacy features. Make sure the wallet, recipient, and transaction path support the address you are using.

Before sending

Confirm address prefix, amount, fee, memo behavior, and destination support. A correct checksum does not protect against sending to the wrong address.

Provenance

What this page can prove

This page can prove that the displayed checksums match the release files currently stored beside it. It cannot prove maintainer identity without detached signatures, a published signing key, or a reproducible build trail. That is why the signature status is explicit instead of silently linking to missing artifacts.
