04 / STAKING & DELEGATION
Put your ADA to work—without handing it over.
Cardano staking is based on delegation. You choose a stake pool to represent your stake on the network; your ADA stays in your wallet rather than being sent to the pool operator.

C

Guard your recovery phrase
Store it offline in a private, secure place. Never share it, photograph it for cloud storage, or paste it into a website.
Verify before you connect
Check web addresses and app permissions. Be cautious with unexpected links, giveaways, and messages that create urgency.
Review every transaction
Confirm the recipient, amount, and fee before signing. A confirmed blockchain transaction may not be reversible.

Official Lace resourcesWhat is Lace Wallet?
Lace is a non-custodial wallet designed for the Cardano ecosystem. It gives you a way to manage ADA and supported native assets, explore decentralized applications, and delegate ADA to a stake pool while keeping control of your wallet credentials.
Is Lace Wallet free to use?
Creating a wallet does not require a purchase. Cardano network actions, such as sending ADA or interacting with a dApp, may require network fees. Always review the fee shown before confirming an on-chain transaction.
Can I stake ADA without locking it?
Cardano staking uses delegation rather than transferring ADA to a pool. Your ADA remains in your wallet and can generally still be spent. Rewards are not guaranteed, can vary, and depend on network and pool performance.
What should I do if I lose my device?
Use your recovery phrase to restore the wallet in a trusted compatible wallet, following official instructions. Anyone with the phrase can control the wallet, so never share it or enter it into a website or support chat.
