Lace Wallet’s Multichain Evolution: Bitcoin Integration

March 20th, 2025 – Input Output (IO), the leading infrastructure and research engineering firm dedicated to building a sustainable Web3 ecosystem, is thrilled to announce that Lace Wallet will be going multichain—starting with Bitcoin!

Bitcoin and Lace: A New Era of Multichain Access

Bitcoin remains the foundation of the crypto industry, yet its Decentralized Finance (DeFi) ecosystem is still in its early stages. With the rapid rise of Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions and Bitcoin-native smart contracts, BTC is evolving beyond simple transactions and into a fully-fledged DeFi asset. Lace ensures that users can soon engage with this new era of Bitcoin finance from one secure, intuitive wallet.

What’s Coming Soon

With Bitcoin support in Lace’s beta release, users will be able to:

  • Securely manage BTC within a trusted Web3 wallet
  • Prepare for Bitcoin’s next evolution—from Layer 2 scaling to DeFi innovations
  • Enjoy a seamless experience managing BTC alongside other Cardano assets
  • Purchase, store, and transact BTC with ease

This is just the beginning. Lace is building for a multichain future, with more assets, chains, and DeFi integrations on the way. Our goal is to make Lace the ultimate hub for secure, user-friendly, and interoperable blockchain interactions.

Bitcoin is just the beginning for Lace’s multichain future. With Lace’s expansion now underway, IO is actively working to integrate more chains, assets, and DeFi opportunities, making Lace the ultimate hub for secure, interoperable, and user-friendly Web3 management.

"The future of blockchain is multichain, and with Lace, we're making sure users have everything they need in one powerful, easy-to-use wallet. Building on the foundations we have established with Cardano, we identified Bitcoin as the logical next step. And we’re just getting started," said Brandon Wolf, GM at Lace.
