Wallet

Lace on Cardano

Lace is IOG's official wallet and speaks CIP-30 out of the box. It's the recommended browser wallet for both Preview and Preprod testnets.

1. Install Lace
Grab it from lace.io (Chrome / Brave / Edge). Create a fresh wallet — never use a mainnet seed on a testnet.
2. Switch to a testnet
In Lace: Settings → Network → Preview (or Preprod). Confirm the badge at the top of the wallet changes to the testnet name.
3. Copy your address
On the Receive tab, copy the address that starts with addr_test1….
4. Fund from the faucet
Paste the address into the Cardano Testnet Faucet and pick the matching network. Tokens land in ~30 seconds.
5. Connect below
This panel talks to Lace via CIP-30 (window.cardano.lace.enable()). If networkId ≠ 0, you're on mainnet — switch back.

Lace not detected. Install from lace.io and enable the Cardano network (Settings → Network → Preview).

Need test ADA? Grab some from the Cardano Testnet Faucet after connecting.

Mobile support

Lace Mobile (Android / iOS) works fine on both Mainnet and Testnet for send / receive / staking.
Its DApp Explorer tab (four-dots icon on the bottom nav) is Mainnet-only and shows a curated list of dApps — there is no address bar, and the tab is hidden entirely in Testnet mode.
That means arbitrary Preview / Preprod dApps — including everything in this project's showcase — cannot be opened from Lace Mobile today. Use desktop Lace for testnet testing.
