<p>Does electrum wallet &quot;sit on top of&quot; bitcoin-cli? Or is it an abstraction of some other software?
I have already learned that Electrum's gui <a href="https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/5791" rel="nofollow noreferrer">is not
a wrap around their cli</a> and there are some things that you can do in its gui, like bumping fees, that you cannot from their cli.
Does their core library utilize <code>bitcoin-cli</code> under the hood?</p>

Does electrum wallet "sit on top of" bitcoin-cli? Or is it an abstraction of some other software?
I have already learned that Electrum's gui [is not
a wrap around their cli](https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/5791) and there are some things that you can do in its gui, like bumping fees, that you cannot from their cli.
Does their core library utilize `bitcoin-cli` under the hood?
