01 — THE ESSENTIALS

What is Lace Wallet?

Lace is a digital wallet built for the Cardano blockchain. It gives you a place to manage supported assets and engage with Cardano services—while keeping control of your wallet in your hands.

Think of it as your personal access point to on-chain activity. Depending on the features available in your version, you can review your holdings, delegate ADA, and connect to compatible decentralized applications. You stay responsible for your recovery phrase and for the transactions you approve.

A closer look at the Lace Wallet features that help bring your Cardano activity into focus.

01

Your Cardano assets, together

View ADA and supported native tokens in one wallet, and keep an eye on the assets held across your Cardano addresses.

02

A gateway to Web3

Connect your wallet to compatible Cardano dApps and explore decentralized services with your own keys in your control.

03

Participate in the network

Delegate ADA to a stake pool through the wallet and take part in Cardano’s proof-of-stake ecosystem.

04

Self-custody by design

Your wallet is yours to manage. Recovery credentials stay private, and every transaction is reviewed before you approve it.

Features and availability can change. Always check the official Lace website and in-wallet information for the latest details.

03 — YOUR WALLET, OUT IN THE WORLD

Connect with care.
Explore with confidence.

Compatible Cardano dApps can request a connection to your Lace Wallet. That connection lets an app request actions—it does not mean you should automatically trust it or approve every transaction.

  • Verify the app’s domain before connecting
  • Read transaction details before signing
  • Disconnect apps you no longer use

04 — YOUR FIRST STEPS

Start simple.
Stay in control.

A few sensible steps can make your first wallet setup feel less daunting—and help you protect what matters.

01

Get Lace from an official source

Visit lace.io to find the current browser extension or mobile app options. Check the publisher and URL before downloading.

02

Create or restore a wallet

Follow the setup instructions. If you create a wallet, write down the recovery phrase offline and keep it somewhere private.

03

Explore at your own pace

Review your address and supported assets, then connect only to Cardano applications you trust. Confirm details before signing.

Never share your recovery phrase. Lace support will never need it. Anyone asking you to reveal it may be trying to take control of your wallet.

05 — A LITTLE SECURITY GOES A LONG WAY

Good wallet habits
start with you.

Self-custody gives you control, and that control comes with responsibility. Slow down around unexpected messages and treat every signature like a decision—not a formality.

01

Protect your recovery phrase

Keep it offline and private. Never enter it on a website or send it to someone who contacts you.

02

Check before you click

Use official links, watch for misspelled URLs, and be wary of unsolicited support messages.

03

Pause before signing

Confirm the details and purpose of a transaction before approving it in your wallet.
