01 — THE BASICS

Meet your
light wallet.

Lace is a browser extension wallet developed by Input Output Global (IOG), the company behind Cardano.

It’s a non-custodial way to manage digital assets, connect with decentralized applications, and participate in staking—all from one thoughtfully designed interface. As a light wallet, Lace connects to the blockchain through remote servers instead of downloading the entire chain history, helping you get started without the wait.

A NEW KIND OF PRIVACY

Midnight: privacy, by design.

With Midnight integration, Lace brings shielded and unshielded addresses into reach. Unshielded transactions are public; shielded transactions use zero-knowledge technology to help keep balances and details private.

03 — STAKING & REWARDS

Put your ADA
to work.

Delegate directly from Lace to support the Cardano network. Multi-staking lets you spread delegation across up to ten pools with customizable percentage allocations—without giving up custody of your ADA.
