Everything in one extension
Built as blocks you can actually use
Six building blocks cover the daily work of a Cardano wallet — from the first receive address to a delegated stake pool.
Native tokens & NFTs
Any asset minted on Cardano shows up in the same list as ADA, with fingerprints so you can tell a real policy ID from a copy.
Read moreDelegated staking
Pick a stake pool and delegate in a few taps. Your ADA stays in your wallet and remains spendable while rewards accumulate each epoch.
Read moredApp connector
Approve a connection, review exactly what a site asks for, then sign. Each request is confirmed on your side before anything is broadcast.
Read moreSwap & send
Estimate fees before you confirm, batch a payment to several addresses, or move ADA between your own wallets in one review screen.
Read moreWorks on your phone
The same wallet runs in the browser and on mobile, so a balance you checked on desktop is waiting when you open your phone.

A wallet is only as good as what it shows you before you sign. Every confirmation screen lists the recipient, the amount and the fee in plain numbers.

Choosing a Cardano wallet: what actually matters
A 250-word starter read before you move any ADA.
Choosing a wallet is one of the first real decisions anyone makes on Cardano, and the marketing around it rarely helps. Three things matter far more than the rest: where your keys live, what you can see before you sign, and whether the code can be checked by other people.
A self-custody wallet keeps your recovery phrase on your own device, encrypted behind a spending password. That phrase is the wallet. Nobody — not a support desk, not an exchange, not this page — can restore it for you, and anyone who offers to try is running a scam. Write it on paper, store it offline, and never type it into a website or a chat window.
The second test is legibility. Before you approve anything, the screen should say who receives the funds, how much, and what the fee is in numbers you can read. If a wallet hides that detail behind an unexplained prompt, it is the wrong wallet.
Finally, look at the project itself. Open-source code can be reviewed, forked and audited; a closed black box asks for blind trust. Add delegated staking — where your ADA stays in your wallet and stays spendable while it earns rewards — and small conveniences like native-token lists and a testnet switch, and you have a wallet that is genuinely useful rather than merely installed. Start with a small test amount, confirm it arrives, and only then move the rest.

FAQ
Five questions people ask first
Is Yoroi Wallet free to use?
The wallet itself costs nothing to download or run. You only pay the standard Cardano network fee on transactions, plus the fixed cost and margin of the stake pool you delegate to.
Learn about feesWhat happens if I lose my device?
Your recovery phrase restores the wallet on any device. Without that phrase, funds cannot be recovered by anyone — which is exactly why it is written down and stored offline.
Backup basicsCan I use one wallet for browsing and for mobile?
Yes. The same recovery phrase can be restored in the browser extension and on a phone, so both interfaces show the same balance and history.
Device guideDo I need to lock my ADA to stake it?
No. Delegation never moves your ADA out of your wallet and there is no lock-up period. You can spend or delegate elsewhere at any time; rewards follow your stake per epoch.
Staking FAQCan I use a hardware wallet with it?
Hardware support lets you keep keys on a dedicated device and confirm every transaction on its own screen. The wallet app then acts as a viewer and a signer-requester.
