The blocks
Four blocks that hold the whole wallet
Each block below is a piece of the extension — custody, connection, staking and recovery — sealed with the same symbols you see in the panel itself.
Connection block
Approve a dApp once and the extension remembers it by origin. Revoke any site in a single click, or burn the whole list.
Manage connections #Stake block
Delegate to a pool, track rewards per epoch and rebalance between pools without ever exporting a key file.
Start staking #Recovery block
Hardware-wallet pairing, social recovery shards and an encrypted local backup — three doors, one wallet.
Set up recovery #
Full-panel view
Every asset on one screen
Balances, NFTs, staking rewards and pending signatures share a single column. Symbols label each row, so you read the wallet at a glance instead of hunting through tabs.
- Live fiat values, no refresh needed
- Token and NFT galleries side by side
- Pending transaction queue you can cancel

Why a Browser Extension Is Still the Best Home for a Wallet
Wallets have drifted between three shapes: the hardware vault in a drawer, the phone app in a pocket and the extension that lives one click from your tabs. Each has a job. The extension is the one that meets you where the work actually happens — on a website, at a checkout, in a minting page that only exists for ten minutes. That is why the Lace™ extension, not the app, is where most people first learn what self-custody feels like.
The argument for an extension is not convenience for its own sake. It is that a wallet should be present exactly when a signature is requested, and absent the rest of the time. A good extension keeps keys encrypted in browser storage, decrypts them only for the moment of signing, and shows you the plain meaning of what you are about to authorise. Approve, and it vanishes back into the toolbar. That rhythm — present, then invisible — is the whole design.
Symbols do quiet, useful work
Every panel in the extension leans on symbols. The ◆ marks a signing request, the ₳ marks a staking action, the ⬢ marks a hardware device, and the ◈ marks the vault itself. A wallet that speaks in glyphs is a wallet you can read without slowing down.
“Self-custody is not a feature you switch on. It is the default you refuse to give up.”
There are trade-offs, and honesty matters here. An extension shares a machine with the sites you visit, so isolation, permission review and origin-scoped approvals are not optional extras — they are the product. Lace™ ships with per-site permissions, a revocable connection list and a plain-language signature preview, because a wallet that hides its reasoning is asking for trust it has not earned.
What comes next is quieter than hype. Multi-chain assets in one panel, hardware pairing that takes seconds, staking that does not require a spreadsheet, and recovery that a normal person can actually complete. If the extension does its job, you will forget it is installed — until the moment you need it, and then it is right there in your toolbar, holding your keys and showing you exactly what you are signing.
