Lace staking — common questions
Is Lace replacing Daedalus?
Not directly. Daedalus remains the full-node wallet for users who want maximum decentralization. Lace is the light, mainstream-friendly successor and gets new feature priority.
Does Lace support hardware wallets?
Yes. Lace supports Ledger Nano S Plus and Nano X for hardware-backed signing. Trezor support is on the roadmap.
