Electrum is a popular software wallet that works by connecting to a dedicated server. These servers receive a hash of the Bitcoin address in the wallet and reply with transaction information.

By 2019, it is a faster and better alternative to BIP37.

By default, electrum wallets are randomly connected to a set of Electrum servers.

Therefore, if you are using an Electrum wallet, it is generally recommended that you run your own Electrum server and then connect the wallet to that server.
