Cardano blockchain-focused development lab IOG released Lace, its first native wallet for the Cardano network, developers said Tuesday.
Lace is a browser-based wallet similar to the popular MetaMask product. It allows users to access the Cardano network directly and use Cardano-based decentralized applications.
Users can send and receive Cardano digital assets like ADA, Cardano non-fungible tokens and Cardano-native tokens. They can also stake ADA directly from the wallet to contribute to the security of the network and receive rewards for their participation,
Lace will enable users to send multiple assets to different addresses in one transaction – with one transaction fee – through a new "bundle transaction" feature, which groups transactions into one bundle to save costs.
Developers said they expect to add fiat-to-crypto on-ramps, a dapp store, in-wallet swaps and staking enchantments in future releases.
Wallet services such as Lace may allow users to easily access decentralized-finance tools and be incentivized for using services on any blockchain, which may boost the token ecosystem for that network as it attracts traders hunting for opportunities that may have worn off on other networks.
ADA is up 5.3% in the past 24 hours.

A draft XRPL amendment notes that flash loan attacks are "structurally impossible" on the network because of how its transactions are built, an architectural quirk that has spared the chain from the exploit class that has cost Ethereum DeFi billions.
What to know:
- Recent DeFi exploits on protocols like Thorchain, Drift and KelpDAO have relied on flash loans, a mechanism that does not exist on the XRP Ledger.
- Because XRPL transactions are atomic and cannot include composable intra-transaction calls, flash loan attacks are structurally impossible on the network.
