Self-custody: keys never leave your device
Your seed is generated locally in an isolated browser context. Nothing is ever sent to Lace servers.
Sealed with AES-256
Private keys are encrypted under a passphrase you set, and that passphrase is required for every signature.
Hardware wallets
Connect Ledger or Trezor so keys stay on the device entirely. Watch-only mode lets you monitor without spending rights.
Open and audited
Our signing library is open source and reviewed publicly. Audited twice yearly by Trail of Trust Labs.
Available as browser extension, iOS and Android.
