01START WITH THE BASICS
What is Lace Wallet?
Lace is a Cardano-focused wallet designed to bring everyday asset management and on-chain discovery into one approachable experience.
Think of a crypto wallet as the tool you use to manage access to your digital assets—not a vault that physically stores coins. Lace provides an interface for interacting with the Cardano blockchain, including managing ADA, viewing supported tokens and collectibles, and exploring compatible apps.
It’s built for self-custody, which puts control in your hands along with the responsibility to keep your recovery phrase private and secure. Wallet features and availability may evolve, so use the official Lace resources for the latest details.

Make more sense of your ADA.
From a first transfer to delegation, Lace brings common Cardano wallet actions into a straightforward flow.
Receive and send ADA
Use your wallet address to receive ADA, then double-check the destination and network details before sending. Blockchain transfers are generally irreversible.
Delegate to a stake pool
Cardano delegation lets eligible holders support a stake pool while ADA remains in their wallet. Review pool details and Lace’s current instructions before you delegate.
Keep track of native tokens
Cardano native assets can include community tokens and collectibles. Wallet display and asset metadata depend on the asset and current wallet support.
03DIGITAL COLLECTIBLES
Your collection, in the bigger picture.
Cardano NFTs are unique native assets recorded on the blockchain. Lace can help you explore supported collectibles alongside your other wallet assets, with a clearer view of the connected on-chain world.
Remember: an NFT is a token with associated metadata, not necessarily ownership of copyright or a guarantee of value. Check the project, asset details, and marketplace terms before making a decision.
