01THE BASICS

A wallet is a tool.
Control is a responsibility.

Lace is a cryptocurrency wallet associated with the Cardano blockchain. Its browser extension brings supported wallet features to a compatible browser, making it easier to connect with compatible decentralized applications from desktop.

With self-custody, you are responsible for your wallet credentials and for authorizing transactions. You—not a centralized platform—manage your recovery information. Protect it carefully: anyone who gets it may be able to access your assets.
