Your keys, your responsibility.
Self-custody puts you in control and makes safe recovery-phrase handling essential.

02 / WALLET FEATURES

The essentials, all in reach.

Tools for managing assets and finding your footing across Cardano—designed to make on-chain activity easier to understand.

01

One clear view

Manage Cardano assets

See ADA, native tokens, and NFTs in one wallet experience. Review holdings and activity before you confirm a transaction.

02

Explore on-chain

Connect to Cardano dApps

Use supported decentralized applications through wallet connection tools. Always check the site address and review permissions first.

03

Delegate with choice

Discover ADA staking

Delegate ADA to a stake pool while keeping control of your funds. Compare pool details and understand rewards before you choose.

Features and availability may vary by platform and may change over time. Confirm the latest details in Lace’s official product information.

03 / STAKING BASICS

Stake ADA.
Stay in control.

Cardano staking lets ADA holders delegate their stake to a pool and participate in the network’s proof-of-stake system. With wallet delegation, your ADA remains in your wallet rather than being sent to a pool operator.

  • Compare pool performance and fees
  • Review current terms before delegating
  • Remember that rewards are variable, not guaranteed

01

Start at the official source

Use Lace’s official website to find the current browser extension or desktop download. Check the publisher and address before installing.

Create or restore a wallet

Follow the wallet prompts. If you create a wallet, record your recovery phrase offline and store it somewhere private and secure.

03

Explore at your own pace

Receive a small test amount, review the network and address, then explore assets, staking, and dApp connections when you are ready.

A quick security check, before you begin

Never share your recovery phrase, private keys, or wallet password. Lace support will never need your recovery phrase. Bookmark the official Lace site and verify every transaction before approving it.

Download options and supported platforms can change. Visit the official Lace website at lace.io and follow its current download links rather than using links from unsolicited messages or ads.

Can I stake ADA with Lace?

Does Lace hold my recovery phrase?

A self-custody wallet gives you responsibility for the recovery phrase. Never share it with anyone, including support staff, and do not enter it into a website reached through a message or search ad.
