The Lace Wallet: Now Multichain – But Who’s Counting?

Ah, behold the Lace wallet, a web3 non-custodial creation of Input Output, now flaunting its multichain credentials, like a peacock strutting in a field of pigeons—oh, the drama! 🎭 Initially, it has graciously invited Bitcoin to the party. How delightful! Charmed, I’m sure!

Input Output, that venerable institution, founded in the bustling year of 2015 by the illustrious Charles Hoskinson and the equally brilliant Jeremy Wood, announced this splendid feat via a press release on the day of our Lord, March 20. One cannot help but admire Hoskinson; the founder of Cardano (ADA), that towering colossus among cryptocurrencies, has now bestowed upon the world another indulgence.

According to the oracle known as IO, the Lace wallet’s non-custodial solution is now officially multichain. This grand transition allows it to embrace Bitcoin (BTC) with open arms, broadening horizons beyond the narrow confining walls of Cardano.

“The future of blockchain is multichain,” proclaims Brandon Wolf, the general manager at Lace, as he dashes forth with grandiloquence, “and with Lace, we’re ensuring users have everything they need in one powerful, easy-to-use wallet. Building on the exquisite foundations laid by Cardano, we identified Bitcoin as the logical next step. And, dear reader, we are merely scratching the surface!”

Now, Lace permits its users the pleasure of storing, managing, and transferring BTC as if it were the most natural thing in the world. 🏦

As per the grand pronouncements of IO, this integration of BTC marks a milestone worthy of a brass band. It not only stirs up a delightful ruckus for Bitcoin’s adoption—it propels the entire ecosystem into a frolicsome frenzy! One might observe, as the premier blockchain network gains traction across the realms of decentralized finance and smart contracts, that layer-2 solutions are also joining the merry dance of further adoption.

“Bitcoin was the starting point for many a fine soul’s Web3 journey,” muses Hoskinson, “and now we stand witness to its next evolution with the rise of Bitcoin DeFi. With Bitcoin integration now a reality, Lace is crafting an enchanting, intuitive gateway to maximize the wonders of blockchain innovation!”

How splendidly poetic! This integration offers an “intuitive gateway” to unlock the finest treasures of blockchain innovation and fuel the robust growth of DeFi, the founder of Cardano so graciously asserts.

But wait, there’s more! Beyond the realm of DeFi, Lace’s web3 exploits include the fanciful world of non-fungible tokens and the intoxicating allure of multi-chain asset management. Truly, it seems that Lace is the magpie, collecting all shiny things in its capacious grasp.

Bitcoin, indefatigable in its allure, continues to steal the limelight with its undeniable potential. The dazzling zero-knowledge powered platform, BitcoinOS, champions its very own integration with great fanfare. 💥

With the project’s open-sourcing of its BitSNARK v0.2, we are greeted with the gift of unlimited BTC programmability—what a marvelous spectacle it is! The protocol’s team declared on X, allowing mere mortals to verify ZK proofs on the hallowed ground of Bitcoin. Is this not a triumph of intellect? 🎉
