.. note::
Dash Electrum is maintained by Dash Incubator member **pshenmic** and is released through his GitHub
account. Downloads are available from the official Dash website or directly from GitHub:

New downloads of Electrum are currently unavailable
- https://www.dash.org/downloads/
- https://github.com/pshenmic/electrum-dash/releases/latest

You can optionally verify the authenticity of your download by checking its detached signature
against the public key published by pshenmic. Run the following commands (example for Linux)::

wget https://github.com/pshenmic/electrum-dash/releases/download/4.1.7.7/Dash-Electrum-4.1.7.7-x86_64.AppImage
wget https://github.com/pshenmic/electrum-dash/releases/download/4.1.7.7/Dash-Electrum-4.1.7.7-x86_64.AppImage.asc
curl https://keybase.io/pshenmic/pgp_keys.asc | gpg --import
gpg --verify Dash-Electrum-4.1.7.7-x86_64.AppImage.asc

The output should contain the following line::

gpg: Good signature from "Mikhail Pshenichnikov <[email protected]>"
