Daedalus is the open-source desktop wallet for ada, the cryptocurrency of the Cardano blockchain. Built with Electron and TypeScript, it is a full-node wallet that downloads and validates the entire Cardano blockchain for trustless, maximum-security operation.
Use cases
- store and manage ada cryptocurrency securely
- run a full Cardano node wallet that validates every transaction
- manage multiple HD wallets with unlimited accounting
- back up and restore wallets to recover funds
- stake ada and follow Cardano network news in the wallet UI
- customize the wallet look with UI themes
When to choose
- you want maximum security and fully trustless operation without third-party servers
- you need a full-node Cardano wallet on Windows, macOS, or Linux
- you manage many Cardano wallets and need backup/restore features
When to avoid
- you want a lightweight wallet that doesn't download the whole blockchain (e.g. Yoroi, Adalite)
- you need a mobile wallet
- you have limited disk space or bandwidth for a full blockchain copy
