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.

Install safely — the only official source
✅ Correct way: Type 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).

Recent Momentum
🔐 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.
📱 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.
🌙 Midnight Mainnet Live
Generate DUST, explore Midnight DApps, and manage shielded assets directly in the extension — no separate download.
Who Should Use Lace
Hold Cardano (ADA) and want native staking + hardware support.
Own Bitcoin but prefer a single wallet for ADA and 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).
