CARDANO WALLETS

Cardano is a groundbreaking proof-of-stake blockchain network, developed into a decentralized application (DApp) development platform with a multi-asset ledger and verifiable smart contracts.

Cardano wallet is essentially a tool that enables you to interact with the Cardano blockchain.

That way you are able to send, receive, store and stake Cardano’s native cryptocurrency ADA.

DAEDALUS

Daedalus is a highly secure Cardano desktop wallet developed by IOHK (IOG now) . It can be used on Windows (only Windows 8.1 and 10 versions are supported), Mac and Linux.

It supports unlimited number of wallets which helps into organizing your ADA but also has the excellent backup and recovery features

You can filter the stake pools finding all information and choose to which one you want to delegate your ADA.

Daedalus works perfectly with both Ledger Nano S/X and TREZOR Model T hardware wallets.

It will take you about 30 minutes in order to install, sync and start using it

YOROI

Yoroi wallet is the product of Emurgo which drives the adoption of Cardano.

Yoroi is a day to day light wallet for Cardano. It’s very easy to install and use on Android and iOS devices, but also as extension on Chrome, Firefox and Edge browsers.

Like all Cardano products in which security is the top priority, it’s been thoroughly tested, security audited, and private keys are fully encrypted which makes it super safe for you to use.

Ada Lite

AdaLite is a very simple to use Cardano web wallet developed by Cardano partners Vacuumlabs.

It’s a web-based wallet so it’s not as secure like Daedalus or Yoroi) but is compatible and can be used with hardware wallets.

NAMI

Nami Wallet is a browser based wallet extension to interact with the Cardano blockchain and is non-custodial.
It can be used to send and store multiple assets, to delegate, to mint tokens, use multi-sigs and much more. Smart contract support will be added when available.
The main difference to current wallets is, that Nami can be injected into the browser context and be connected to any website in order to interact with dApps (decentralized apps).

TREZOR

Trezor was launched back in 2014 and is a great hardware wallet, like a small computer you can use to store and protect your Cardano (ADA). Trezor Model T can be used with Daedalus and Yoroi Cardano wallets.

It has a very easy to use interface. Trezor Model T hardware and software specification are open source. You are able to navigate through functions using the touch screen. Trezor hardware wallet and software specifications are released as open source where everyone are invited to examine the code in order to find the vulnerabilities.

LEDGER NANO

Ledger Nano X is a better option than Nano S if you plan to use your Ledger with a mobile device since it enables a Bluetooth connection.

Ledger Nano S is a hardware wallet that supports over 5 coins and 1100+ cryptocurrencies, which enables you to manage multiple assets, including Cardano (ADA). It works perfectly with Yoroi Deadalus and AdaLite Cardano wallets.

OVERALL: Your private key is protected within a secure chip (the same type used for passports!) locked by a pin code. If your Ledger Nano S or X is lost or stolen the recovery phrase enables you to restore all accounts and configuration .

paper wallet

A paper wallet is a printed piece of paper that contains keys and QR codes that are used to facilitate cryptocurrency transactions. Because they are removed from the Internet, at one point paper wallets were considered to be more secure than other forms of cryptocurrency storage.

Warning Very Important

With so many security threats in the cryptocurrency world it’s very important to use a safe Cardano wallet. Leaving your ADA (₳) on exchanges is not a smart idea as it puts them in the danger of being stolen or hacked. You will also miss the opportunity to get free ADA rewards through staking it.

OVERALL

These are the best Cardano wallets you can use to receive, send and stake Cardano blockchain cryptocurrency ADA!
