WALLET BASICS, WITHOUT THE NOISE01 — 05   /   THE ESSENTIALS
01 THE BASICS

What is the
Lace Wallet Extension?

Lace is a browser-based cryptocurrency wallet developed by Input Output, the team associated with Cardano.

It provides access to supported blockchain features, helping people manage digital assets, connect to decentralized applications, and explore Web3 services through a streamlined wallet experience. Current features and supported networks may vary by version.

A cryptocurrency wallet does not generally store coins as physical objects. Assets are recorded on the blockchain; the wallet provides tools to access accounts and authorize transactions—while you remain responsible for your credentials.

A simple distinction worth remembering
The wallet is your access point. The blockchain is where your assets are recorded.

KEEP THIS IN MIND  ↗
02 WHAT YOU CAN EXPLORE

One wallet, a range
of possibilities.

Explore a wallet experience designed to bring supported blockchain tools together. Availability depends on your network, region, and software version.

01

Digital asset management

View and manage supported cryptocurrency assets through an interface designed to make balances and transactions easier to understand. Available assets depend on the supported blockchain networks and current software version.

02

Blockchain connectivity

Explore supported blockchain ecosystems through compatible wallet features. Before initiating a transaction, confirm that the selected network and destination address are appropriate for the asset being transferred.

03

Decentralized applications

Connect with compatible decentralized applications to explore Web3 services, including supported decentralized finance platforms and digital collectible marketplaces.

Where supported, explore staking options and delegate eligible assets to participate in blockchain network operations. Rewards are not guaranteed and may depend on network rules, fees, delegation choices, and other factors.
