Choosing a Cardano wallet
Four things to check before you trust a Cardano wallet
The right Cardano wallet, or ADA wallet, is not the one with the longest feature list. It is the one where you keep the keys, can read the code, sign on a hardware device, and do not need four other sites to use Cardano. Check any wallet against these four.
- Non-custodial. Keys are generated and encrypted on your device with Argon2id and never leave it. The wallet cannot move your ADA.
- Code you can read. The full source is on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 licence, with a responsible disclosure policy.
- Hardware wallets, properly. Ledger, Trezor and Keystone sign every transaction and certificate on their own screen. Trezor connects over WebUSB with no Bridge to install.
- Everything in one place. Staking, governance, swaps, market data, perpetuals, cashback and Midnight DUST, with no separate portal for any of them.
- What users say. Gero Dashboard is rated 4.6 of 5 on the Chrome Web Store, the highest rating of any Cardano wallet extension there. Read the reviews before you install.

Staking
Stake ADA to any pool, and watch it pay every epoch

Governance

Midnight DUST
Generate DUST from the NIGHT you already hold
Register once from your Cardano wallet and the NIGHT in it starts generating DUST on Midnight, paid to your own DUST address. Registration costs only the Cardano network fee, the mapping reaches Midnight in a few hours, and DUST accrues from there.

Cardano wallet questions
What is the best Cardano wallet?
The best Cardano wallet is the one you can verify: non-custodial, with source code you can read, hardware wallet signing on the device, and staking, governance, swaps and Midnight in one place instead of four sites. GeroWallet meets all four. It is non-custodial, its full source is public on GitHub under Apache 2.0, it pairs with Ledger, Trezor and Keystone, it holds the highest Chrome Web Store rating of any Cardano wallet extension at 4.6 of 5, and it covers ADA staking, governance voting, swaps on its own aggregator, market data, perpetuals, NFTs and in-wallet Midnight DUST generation in one free extension.
How does GeroWallet compare to Eternl, Lace and Yoroi?
Compare on the same four points. Custody: GeroWallet, Eternl and Lace are all non-custodial. Code: GeroWallet publishes its full source under Apache 2.0; check each wallet’s repository for the same. Hardware wallets: GeroWallet signs with Ledger, Trezor and Keystone, Trezor without the Bridge daemon. Scope: GeroWallet is the one with Midnight DUST generation, its own swap aggregator, market data with charts and order books, and Strike perpetuals inside the wallet. Yoroi was handed to SecondFi in 2026 and many of its users are moving; restoring a Yoroi seed phrase in GeroWallet takes a minute.
Is an ADA wallet the same as a Cardano wallet?
Yes. ADA is the coin of the Cardano blockchain, so an ADA wallet is a Cardano wallet. Any wallet that holds ADA also holds Cardano native tokens and NFTs, and it is where you stake, vote and swap. GeroWallet is an ADA wallet in that sense, with Midnight and Apex Fusion alongside Cardano in the same app.
How do I create a Cardano wallet?
Install GeroWallet from the Chrome Web Store, choose Create, write down the 24-word recovery phrase and set a spending password. Passkeys are available as an option next to the password. The wallet is ready in under two minutes, and restoring an existing seed phrase from another wallet works the same way.
Is GeroWallet safe?
GeroWallet is non-custodial: your private keys are encrypted with Argon2id and stored on your device, and GeroWallet never has access to your funds. The source code is public on GitHub so you can verify it yourself. Cardano Shield checks dApps and addresses for known scams, and a hardware wallet keeps the keys off the browser entirely.
Can I stake ADA with GeroWallet?
Yes. Delegate to any of 3,000+ Cardano stake pools or the official GERO pool directly from the wallet, track rewards every epoch, and see a pending state until the delegation confirms. Staking is non-custodial, so your ADA never leaves your wallet and there is no lock-up.
Can I generate Midnight DUST from my Cardano wallet without bridging?
Yes. cNIGHT held in your Cardano wallet generates DUST on Midnight without any bridge. Registration, deregistration and destination changes happen inside the wallet, Gero can sponsor the collateral if your wallet has no pure-ADA UTxO, and you choose where your zero-knowledge proofs run: Gero Cloud, a local proof server, or Arkhia with your own key.
Is there a Cardano wallet for mobile?
GeroWallet for iOS is in TestFlight beta, and Android is on the roadmap. The desktop wallet is a browser extension for Chrome, Brave and Edge, and it can pair with the iOS app to sign on another device.
What makes GeroWallet different from other Cardano wallets?
Three things. The source code is public, so you can read what you run. Midnight is integrated on mainnet with in-wallet DUST generation, not a separate portal. And swaps run on Gero’s own aggregator rather than a third-party widget. On top of that you get ADA staking, a full governance hub, market data, perpetuals, an NFT media player and Bring cashback in one non-custodial wallet.
