Lace Wallet Extension

The Lace Wallet Extension is a modern browser-based cryptocurrency wallet designed specifically for the Cardano blockchain ecosystem. Instead of scattering seed words across half a dozen tabs, you install one extension and get a calm, tidy home for your ada, your native tokens, your collectibles and your staking position. It lives beside the pages you already visit, signs a transaction only when you approve it, and stays quiet the rest of the time. Because it was written Cardano-first rather than adapted from another chain, multi-asset transfers, stake delegation and dApp connections feel like parts of one product instead of separate tools bolted together.

A wallet that speaks Cardano from the first click

Cardano handles assets differently from most networks. Every token is a native asset that travels with ada in the same transaction, and staking is delegated rather than locked. A wallet built for that model can do things a general-purpose extension cannot: send several assets to several addresses in one bundle, show you a fee before you sign, and delegate your stake without moving a single coin out of your control. The Lace Wallet Extension was written around those rules, so the screens you meet are shaped by how the network actually works.

Security follows the same logic. Your recovery phrase is encrypted locally and never uploaded, which means there is no server holding a copy and no password reset that could hand someone else your funds. Hardware wallets connect straight from the extension, so large balances can sit behind a physical confirmation without leaving the browser.

What you get in the extension

One interface covering the everyday jobs of a Cardano wallet.

Multi-asset dashboard

See ada, native tokens and NFTs side by side, with balances that update as the chain does.

Delegated staking

Browse pools, read their performance and choose where your stake goes — no lock-up period.

DApp connector

Approve a connection once, then sign only what you mean to sign, with the details in front of you.

Bundled sends

Money to three people in three assets becomes one transaction and one network fee.

NFT gallery

Hold collectibles in a visual gallery, then send them on or open a marketplace when you want to trade.

Address book

Save the addresses you reuse so routine payments never depend on copying a long string correctly.

Setting it up, step by step

Ten quiet minutes now saves a great deal of confusion later.

  1. 1

    Install from the source

    Add the extension through the official site or your browser's own store listing — nothing else.

  2. 2

    Create or restore

    Start a fresh wallet or enter an existing recovery phrase to bring old funds across.

  3. 3

    Write the phrase down

    Pen and paper, stored offline. It is the only thing that can restore the wallet, and nobody legitimate will ever ask for it.

  4. 4

    Test with a small amount

    Send a modest transfer first. Once it lands, delegate your stake and explore at your own pace.

Common questions

It is a browser extension wallet built for the Cardano ecosystem. It keeps your keys on your own machine, holds ada and native tokens, and signs transactions for the sites you explicitly approve.

Yes. Installing costs nothing and there is no subscription. The only money that moves is the ordinary network fee every Cardano transaction carries, paid to the chain rather than to the wallet.

No. It is non-custodial, so your recovery phrase stays encrypted on your device and no company holds a copy. That is also why nobody can restore the wallet for you if the phrase is lost.

Supported devices connect from inside the extension, so a large balance can require a physical confirmation on the device before any transaction is broadcast.
