03 / GETTING STARTED

Start with the
right address.

Installing a wallet should start with source verification, not a random search result. Use this checklist before you begin.

Go to lace.io
  1. 01

    Open the official Lace website

    Type lace.io yourself or use a trusted bookmark. Check the domain spelling and secure connection.

  2. 02

    Follow its current download link

    Use the browser installation link provided from Lace’s official site. Confirm the publisher and permissions before installing.

  3. 03

    Create or restore carefully

    Follow the wallet’s on-screen guidance. If creating a wallet, record its recovery phrase offline and keep it private.

  4. 04

    Make a small, deliberate start

    Learn the wallet interface first. Check network, recipient, asset, and amount details before signing any transaction.

Never share your recovery phrase. Lace support, this guide, and legitimate wallet helpers will never need you to reveal it.

ADA.

Lace is a Cardano-focused wallet. Depending on current support, you can use it to manage different kinds of assets native to the Cardano network.

05 / WALLET SAFETY

Your keys.
Your responsibility.

A wallet can help you manage access to digital assets, but a few careful habits make a real difference. Slow down around links, recovery details, and signing prompts.

Use the safety checklist
A QUICK CHECK-IN

Before you click confirm

  • Keep the recovery phrase offline. Never paste it into a site, chat, or support ticket.

  • Verify the destination. Check the full address and network before sending assets.

  • Read signing requests. Connect only to apps you trust and review what a transaction asks you to do.

  • Ignore pressure. Unexpected urgency, giveaways, and requests to “validate” a wallet are red flags.

Digital assets involve risk. This guide is educational and is not financial, tax, or investment advice.

Official Lace resources
What is the Lace wallet extension?

Lace is a Cardano wallet that can be used as a browser extension. It provides a wallet interface for managing ADA and Cardano native assets, sending and receiving assets, and interacting with supported Cardano applications. Features and availability can change, so consult Lace’s official resources for the latest details.

Is Lace only for ADA?

No. Lace is designed for the Cardano ecosystem, which includes ADA as well as Cardano native tokens and NFTs. What appears in a wallet can depend on network activity, asset metadata, and the wallet version.

How do I install the Lace browser extension?

Start at the official Lace website and follow its current download or browser-store links. Check the publisher and the destination domain before installing; avoid links in unsolicited messages, ads, or lookalike sites.

Can I recover my wallet if I change devices?

Wallet recovery generally depends on the recovery phrase created during setup. Only use the official wallet recovery flow, and never share that phrase with anyone or enter it into a website reached from an unsolicited link. If you are unsure, pause and consult official Lace support documentation.

Is Lace a hardware wallet?

The browser extension is wallet software. A software wallet and a hardware wallet have different security models; check current Lace documentation for supported hardware-wallet options and setup instructions before relying on a particular configuration.
