# **Lace Wallet Extension**

One self‑custody wallet for Cardano, Bitcoin, and Midnight — built by Input Output Global, with hardware support and selective privacy.

🔒 Non‑custodial⚡ Chrome · Brave · Edge · Firefox🛡️ Independently audited💳 Hardware & air‑gapped ready

**Lace is not just another Cardano wallet.** It has evolved into a multi‑chain desktop companion. The extension now natively manages ADA, Bitcoin (BTC), and Midnight’s shielded/unshielded assets in a single interface — while keeping your keys local. Whether you use a Ledger, Trezor, or an air‑gapped SeedSigner, Lace adapts to your security model \[citation:2]\[citation:5].

**What sets Lace apart**

**MULTI‑CHAIN**

### **Cardano + Bitcoin + Midnight**

Manage native ADA staking, Bitcoin accounts (including hardware‑wallet imports), and Midnight’s privacy layer without switching wallets. Lace 2.0+ unifies these ecosystems in one extension \[citation:2]\[citation:5]\[citation:10].

**HARDWARE & AIR‑GAP**

### **Ledger, Trezor, SeedSigner**

Import Bitcoin accounts from Ledger/Trezor and sign directly. Lace is the first Cardano wallet to support SeedSigner via animated QR codes — fully air‑gapped signing for ADA and BTC \[citation:2].

**PRIVACY**

### **Midnight shielded addresses**

Hold both shielded and unshielded Midnight assets. Selective disclosure lets you prove transactions without exposing your full history — zero‑knowledge privacy inside a familiar wallet \[citation:5]\[citation:10].

**STAKING**

### **Multi‑pool delegation & governance**

Delegate ADA to up to 10 stake pools with custom ratios. Lace 2.2 adds direct delegation to *Abstain* or *No Confidence* governance options, plus clearer reward previews \[citation:2]\[citation:12].

**Install safely — the only official source**

### **✅ Correct way**

* Type [**lace.io**](http://lace.io) directly into your browser.
* Follow the official “Get Lace” link to the Chrome Web Store / Firefox Add‑ons.
* Verify the developer name is **Lace** (or Input Output).

### **❌ Never do this**

* Click search ads or sponsored links for “Lace wallet”.
* Download from forum posts, Telegram messages, or third‑party mirrors.
* Ignore warnings — phishing clones exist \[citation:1].

**Recent momentum (v2.2+)**

### **🔐 Bitcoin hardware signing**

Import Bitcoin accounts from Ledger or Trezor and sign transactions natively inside Lace. No more juggling separate apps for your BTC and ADA \[citation:2].

### **📱 Mobile parity coming**

Lace Mobile 2.1 already supports Ledger/Trezor for Cardano, swaps, and on‑ramp. Version 2.2 brings feature parity between extension and mobile \[citation:2].

### **🌙 Midnight mainnet live**

Generate DUST, explore Midnight DApps, and manage shielded assets directly in the extension — no separate download \[citation:10].

### **⚡ Performance & clarity**

Smarter transaction building, faster loading, more accurate token pricing, and improved hardware‑wallet guidance in the latest release \[citation:2].

**Who should use Lace?**

### **👍 Great fit if you…**

* Hold Cardano (ADA) and want native staking + hardware support.
* Own Bitcoin but prefer a single wallet for ADA + BTC.
* Value privacy and want to explore Midnight’s shielded assets.
* Use air‑gapped signing (SeedSigner) or Ledger/Trezor.

### **👎 Look elsewhere if you…**

* Need Ethereum / EVM chains (Rabby or MetaMask are better).
* Require a fully open‑source wallet codebase (check alternatives).
* Want built‑in fiat on‑ramp directly in the extension (mobile has Banxa, desktop does not yet).

⚠️ Always verify the URL: [**lace.io**](http://lace.io) — never download from ads or third‑party stores beyond the official links listed on that site \[citation:1].
