01 THE WALLET, AT A GLANCE
A browser extension
for your Cardano journey.
Lace is a self-custody wallet designed for the Cardano blockchain. Its browser extension gives you a way to manage supported assets and connect your wallet to compatible decentralized applications.
Think of the extension as a secure interface—not a bank or an account recovery service. You stay responsible for your recovery phrase, your approvals, and the devices you use.

03 YOUR FIRST STEPS
A considered start
is a better start.
Wallet setup is straightforward when you take it one step at a time. Use this checklist as a starting point, and follow the latest instructions shown by Lace itself.
Visit Lace for current instructionsNever share your recovery phrase with a website, support agent, or anyone who contacts you unexpectedly.
Start at the official source
Open Lace’s official website and follow its current extension download link. Check the publisher and supported browser before installing.
Create or restore carefully
Follow the wallet’s setup flow. A new wallet generates recovery words; restoring requires the exact phrase for that wallet.
Secure your recovery phrase
Write it down offline and keep it private. Anyone who obtains the phrase may be able to control the wallet.
Fund and connect thoughtfully
Receive a small amount of ADA first, then connect only to dApps you trust and review every transaction before approving it.
04 OPEN, CONNECTED EXPERIENCES
Meet the Cardano dApp ecosystem.
Decentralized applications can let you explore digital collectibles, decentralized finance, governance, and more. A wallet connection lets an app request access to your public address and ask you to approve transactions.
Connecting is not the same as signing. Read the application’s request, check what you are approving, and disconnect when you are done. A wallet cannot make an untrusted app safe.
Read our safety checklist05 KEEP CONTROL IN YOUR HANDS
Your keys. Your responsibility.
Self-custody gives you direct control and makes good security habits essential. These fundamentals apply to any wallet.
Protect your recovery phrase
Keep it offline in a secure place. Never type it into a page reached from an unsolicited link or send it to “support.”
Verify before you install
Use the Lace official website to find the extension listing. Check the publisher, URL, and requested permissions.
Pause before approvals
Review the transaction details, amounts, and destination before signing. If a request feels unexpected, reject it.
Expect no one to ask for keys
Legitimate wallet support will not need your recovery phrase or private keys. Treat urgency and giveaways as warning signs.
