Wallets
Wallets let you store ADA and use Cardano DApps. Follow our setup guide, review security tips (opens in a new tab), and learn about common scams (opens in a new tab). It's recommended to use open-source wallets so their integrity can be verified.
Mobile Wallets
Mobile wallets are phone apps for quick, on-the-go transactions. Pair with hardware wallet for extra security.
Browser Wallets
Browser wallets are browser extensions that enable DApp interactions. They can be installed in your web browser of choice. Pair with hardware wallet for extra security.
Desktop Wallets
Desktop wallets are full-featured applications for power users. Uniquely, Daedalus runs as a full node (meaning it stores a copy of the entire blockchain) for enhanced security.
Hardware Wallets
Physical devices that store cryptocurrency offline. They are the most secure wallet, as PIN verification is needed to make transactions. They can connect to browser and mobile wallets and interact with DApps.
Website Wallets
No-install web wallets for convenient access. Verify URLs carefully and use trusted sites only. Pair with hardware wallet for extra security.
Paper Wallets
Paper wallets are printed copies of private keys for offline storage. They offer strong security if generated on an offline device and stored in a protected location.
Identity Wallets
Identity wallets securely store and manage personal credentials like IDs and documents. This gives users control over how their credentials are shared and accessed.
Multisig Wallets
Multisig wallets require signatures from multiple parties to approve transactions. They are ideal for managing shared funds like DAO treasuries.
Dev Wallets
Tools for testing and developing Cardano applications. These may also be prototypes or reference implementations. Not for everyday use.
Specialized Wallets
Specialized wallets integrate Cardano with existing platforms and software, expanding Cardano network access to new environments.
