Everything in one extension
Built for the way people actually use a wallet
A quiet, fast popup with the tools you reach for daily — and clear language on every screen, so you always know exactly what you are approving.
One-click dApp connection
Connect to decentralised applications with a single approval. Every request is explained before you confirm it — no blind signing.
Multi-account, multi-wallet
Keep work, personal and hardware-backed accounts side by side and switch between them in a click — each with its own keys and labels.
Staking built in
Delegate to a stake pool, follow your rewards and re-delegate from the popup. No third-party dashboard and no extra tab.
Send, receive and swap
Move native tokens, check the network fee up front and pay only what the chain charges — nothing is added on top.
Fast and light
A small, quiet extension that opens instantly, stays out of the page and uses a fraction of the memory of a full desktop wallet.

Questions, answered
Frequently asked questions
The things people ask before installing a wallet extension — security, cost, browsers and recovery.
It is a self-custody browser wallet extension for the Cardano network. It creates and stores your keys on your own device and lets you send, receive, stake and approve transactions from one small popup — without handing custody of your assets to anybody else.
Inside an encrypted vault on your computer, unlocked by the spending password only you know. Your recovery phrase and private keys are never transmitted, never uploaded and never visible to a website you connect to. If you lose the device, the wallet can be restored from your written recovery phrase.
Yes. Installing and using the wallet costs nothing, and there is no subscription. The only cost is the network fee the blockchain itself charges when you move funds or interact with an application — shown to you and confirmed before anything is signed.
Any modern Chromium-based desktop browser: Google Chrome, Brave, Microsoft Edge and Opera. Keep your browser up to date so you receive the latest security fixes, and only ever install the extension from the official store listing.
Browser extensions run on desktop browsers, so on a phone the practical route is a mobile wallet app or a phone-friendly web dashboard that pairs with the same wallet. Never enter your recovery phrase into a website on a phone you do not fully control.
Open the popup, choose Restore wallet and type your 12 or 24 words in the order you wrote them down. Do this offline where possible, then set a new spending password. Type it into the extension itself — never into a website, a chat message or a support form.
Install only from the official store listing, check the publisher name and the number of users before you click, and ignore sponsored search results and direct messages offering a download link. No legitimate wallet — and no support agent — will ever ask for your recovery phrase or private keys.
Take custody of your own keys
Install once, and every transaction afterwards is yours to approve — in plain language, on your device.
