Stay safe: three rules that never change 🔐
Wallets are safe. Links and messages are the risk. Read these once, remember them forever.
🚫 Never share your recovery phrase
Not with "support", not in a chat, not on a website form you did not expect. No legitimate wallet tool will ever ask for it.
🔍 Check the domain every time
Fake "Lace" installers and phishing emails pretending to be new wallet versions circulate widely. Type lace.io yourself instead of trusting a link.
🧪 Test with small amounts
New to crypto? Send a tiny amount first, confirm it arrives, then move the rest. It costs a few cents and saves big mistakes.

💬 Questions people ask
Lace Wallet Extension — FAQ
Is the Lace Wallet Extension free? 💸
Yes — installing the extension costs nothing. You only pay the normal Cardano network fee when you send a transaction or delegate to a stake pool.
Which browsers does the Lace Wallet Extension support? 🌐
It runs on Chromium-based browsers such as Google Chrome and Brave, as well as Firefox. Check the official site for the current list, since support grows over time.
Do I need the extension if I have the mobile app? 📱
Not required — they are the same wallet in two shapes. Many people use the extension while browsing on a laptop and the app while out and about.
Can the Lace Wallet Extension be hacked? 🛡️
A non-custodial wallet's main risk is not the software, it's social engineering: fake downloads, fake support, seed-phrase requests. Keep your recovery phrase offline, verify every domain, and you remove most of the danger.
What is the recovery phrase for? 🔑
It is the master backup that restores your wallet on any device if your browser is wiped. Write it on paper, store it somewhere safe, and never type it into a website.
