🔗 Multi-Chain Management in One Place

Lace has evolved beyond a Cardano-only wallet. The current 2.0 version brings Cardano, Midnight, and Bitcoin together in one extension, eliminating the need to juggle multiple wallets for different ecosystems . Cardano support remains the foundation, with full staking capabilities including multi-staking across up to ten pools simultaneously . Bitcoin functionality is actively expanding: Lace 2.2 introduced hardware wallet support for Ledger and Trezor on Bitcoin accounts, allowing you to import BTC accounts and sign transactions directly with your device . Midnight integration adds a privacy layer with support for both shielded and unshielded addresses, giving you selective control over transaction visibility using zero-knowledge technology .

🔐 Self-Custody and Hardware Wallet Support

Lace is non-custodial by design, meaning your private keys are stored locally and never touch IOG's servers. For enhanced security, the wallet supports hardware integration with Ledger, Trezor, and SeedSigner. The SeedSigner integration is particularly notable—it enables fully air-gapped signing using animated QR codes, making Lace the first Cardano wallet to support this open-source, build-it-yourself signing device . Lace also emphasizes clear transaction signing, so every action you approve is transparent and understandable before you confirm it .

⚠️ Important Disclaimer

Using Lace Wallet Extension involves significant risk, and you bear full responsibility for your assets. Lace is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, including merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or uninterrupted service . IOG expressly disclaims liability for third-party services, DApps, or content you access through the wallet . Nothing in the wallet constitutes legal, financial, or tax advice .

Critical security warning: Never type your hardware wallet's recovery phrase into Lace or any software wallet. Your recovery phrase is your private key in human-readable form—anyone who has it controls your funds. Entering it into an internet-connected environment permanently breaks cold storage security. If your hardware wallet is supported, use the "Connect Hardware Wallet" flow instead. If it isn't supported, wait for an update rather than compromising your seed phrase . If you have already entered a hardware wallet phrase into software, treat that phrase as compromised and move your funds to a newly generated wallet immediately .
