Nami

An open source, browser extension, light wallet.

The Nami browser extension wallet for Cardano works with Chrome, Edge, Brave, and other Chrome based browsers. Users can connect to any integrated website and use Nami wallet to interact with the Cardano blockchain and programs and protocols built on top of it e.g. dApps.

Nami's non-custodial wallet can be used for:

Sending, storing, and receiving ADA, NFTs, and tokens
Bundling multiple assets, ADA, tokens and NFTs, into a single transaction
Minting NFTs here
Delegating ADA to a stake pool
Multi-sig transactions
Have multiple accounts associated with the same mnemonic (but not with each other, also allowing the user to delegate to multiple stake pools)

Users don't log in and out of Nami wallet each time they use it, although they can if they choose to. Instead a spending password is required to send assets out of the wallet.

In the Nami wallet interface you are only able to delegate to the creator's pool. However, if you head to pool.pm you can connect your Nami wallet, choose a stake pool on the site, and delegate there.

Non-Custodial

Non-custodial programs or applications do not hold the custody of your assets. This means that there is no third party company or person who is responsible for the security of the assets.

Non-custodial can be applied to wallets, where the user is the sole proprietor of their private keys. This means that you, and you only, are responsible for securing your assets.

The non-custodial tag can be used by platforms and applications other than wallets, such as NFT marketplaces, peer-to-peer swapping platforms, and blockchain bridges. When non-custodial is used with regard to these platforms then assets are locked up in smart contracts, and no person has custody over the assets as they are secured by the code of the smart contract.

If your wallet is non-custodial this means that only you have the ability to recover access to your wallet. This means that you should store your recovery seed and a backup of your password in a very secure location.

NFT

If you’re looking for a Cardano NFT then you’ve found the place for you! listed here are all the projects that feature NFTs in some form on Cardano. NFTs are no longer just the PFP collections that made them famous, although many do still exists and you can find Cardano NFT projects here, NFTs are assets with multiple different types of utility, depending on which project’s NFTs your buying.

A Cardano NFT is a native asset on Cardano which means that, unlike on other (specifically EVM-based) chains, an NFT is not managed by a smart contract, meaning that it behaves and is managed differently to the chain’s base asset, ada. On Cardano NFTs behave the same as the chains base asset as they are native to the chain.

On this page you’ll find everything from Cardano NFT projects to DeFi projects and decentralized identity (DID) solutions that have incorporated NFTs, to the Cardano NFT marketplaces you can use to purchase NFTs.

Browser Extension

A browser extension is an application that lives in your browser and can be injected into websites and dApps, allowing you to interact with them. The most common browser extensions in the crypto world are light wallets that allow users to interact with dApps such as NFT marketplaces and other blockchain based websites and dApps.

Other things such as ad-blockers and coupon applications are also browser extensions. Browser extensions are often located in the top right hand corner of your browser, inline with the search bar.
