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]. Extension at a glance Install safely — the only official source

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).
