Wallets

Wallets

Cardano boasts of a thriving and very active developer community that has created numerous hot- and cold-compatible wallets. These include:

Hot wallets

Hot wallets are always connected to the internet, allowing users to easily access and transact their assets. Discover ada- and Cardano native token-compatible hot wallets below:

Daedalus

Daedalus is a full-node hierarchical deterministic (HD) desktop wallet for ada. 

Daedalus comes bundled with a full Cardano node, so it requires a relatively high-specification desktop machine for good performance. The wallet stores the entire history of the Cardano blockchain and validates all blocks and transactions for fully trustless and autonomous operation. Daedalus is ideal for those who want accurate blockchain data, but should not be the go-to wallet for everyday, minor transactions.

Lace

Lace is a non-custodial Cardano wallet to explore Web3. With Lace, you can manage digital assets, access non-fungible tokens (NFTs), connect to DApps and DeFi services, and multi-staking. Discover and enjoy a new world of digital experiences.

Yoroi

Yoroi, developed by EMURGO, is a self-custodial, open-source light wallet for ada and Cardano native tokens, running as a browser extension.

Eternl

Nami Wallet

Nami Wallet is a non-custodial, browser-based wallet extension that interacts with the Cardano blockchain and connects with DApps. It allows users to send and store digital assets, delegate ada, and more.
