What is the Lace Wallet Extension?
A browser wallet is your personal interface to a blockchain. Lace brings that experience to Cardano—without asking a central service to hold your keys for you.
The Lace wallet extension is a self-custody wallet for managing ADA and supported Cardano-native assets. After setup, you can check your wallet, receive assets, send transactions, and connect to compatible decentralized applications from a supported browser.
“Self-custody” means access is controlled by credentials and recovery information that you manage. That gives you direct control, while also making careful backups and transaction checks your responsibility. There is no bank-style reset button for a lost recovery phrase.
↗
Think of Lace as your Cardano keyring
It helps you manage wallet access and approve actions. It is not a place to store your recovery phrase online, and it cannot make risky transactions safe.
02WHAT IT HELPS YOU DO
A wallet for the Cardano ecosystem.
Explore the core jobs a wallet can support. Exact features and availability may vary by version and region.
Connect to dApps
Use a compatible Cardano application by connecting your wallet. Connection is not transaction approval—read each request on its own merits.

Self-custody keeps control with you. Secure your recovery information and treat every signature request like a meaningful permission.

- 01
Start from Lace’s official website
Use the official site to find the current extension download route. Check the store listing and publisher before installing; avoid ads and links from unsolicited messages.
- 02
Create a wallet and protect recovery access
Follow the on-screen instructions. Securely back up the recovery phrase exactly as directed. Anyone asking you to share it is not helping you recover your wallet.
- 03
Practice with a small transaction
Before moving a larger amount, confirm the network, destination address, and any fees. If receiving, verify the address using a trusted channel.
- 04
Connect to applications with care
Check the domain before connecting. Read the amount, destination, and permissions on every wallet prompt; reject anything unexpected or unclear.
04SECURITY, IN PRACTICE
YOUR KEYSYOUR CARE
Good wallet security is a daily practice.
Lace can provide wallet tools, but no extension can protect you from every scam or replace careful decisions.
Guard your recovery phrase. Never share it with a person, support agent, or website. Store your backup offline in a private, secure place.
Verify addresses independently. Malware and social engineering can substitute destinations. Check the full address before confirming.
Read every approval. Understand what a transaction or signature allows. Cancel if the request is unfamiliar or the details do not match.
Keep your browser current. Update your browser and extension through their official channels, and remove extensions you no longer use.
Be skeptical of urgency. Unexpected giveaways, airdrops, “wallet validation,” and urgent support messages are common scam tactics.
!
Remember: Transactions on public blockchains are often difficult or impossible to reverse. Pause and verify before you approve.

Can Lace connect to decentralized applications?
Lace can connect with compatible Cardano applications. Review the site address and the details of every transaction request before approving it. A wallet connection alone does not mean a site or contract is trustworthy.
