Product notes, wallet hygiene and a plain-English look at Cardano.
Self-custody is a habit, not a setting
Every wallet extension makes the same promise: your keys, your coins. The promise is easy to print on a landing page and much harder to live by, because self-custody is not a toggle you flip once — it is a set of small habits repeated until they feel boring. If you are new to Cardano, the honest starting point is this: whoever holds the recovery phrase holds the funds. Not the browser, not the extension, not the company that published it. That single sentence explains almost every security decision that follows.
Start with the phrase itself. Write the twelve or twenty-four words on paper, in order, with a pen. Store it where a thief would not look and a fire would not reach — and never photograph it, because photo libraries sync to the cloud by default. Then choose a password that protects the local vault, and treat it as different from every other password you own.
Day to day, the routine is deliberately dull. Keep one wallet for everyday spending and a second, untouched one for savings, so a careless dApp approval reaches only a small balance. Read what a transaction asks before you approve it. Disconnect sites you no longer use, and revisit your delegation every epoch or two. Dull habits, repeated, are what make a wallet safe — and why we build Yoroi Extension to show exactly what you are signing, every time.

Five things people ask before they install the extension.
01 What exactly is the Yoroi Wallet® Extension?
It is a lightweight, self-custody Cardano wallet that runs inside your browser. You can hold ADA, native tokens and NFTs, delegate to a stake pool, and connect to decentralised apps — all from a small popup, with no full node to sync.
02 How do I set it up for the first time?
Install the extension, then either create a new wallet or restore an existing one. Creating takes two steps: write down the recovery phrase you are shown, then set a password for the local vault. Restoring asks for the phrase or a hardware wallet, and your accounts and balances appear again automatically.
03 Does Yoroi hold my crypto or know my recovery phrase?
No. This is a self-custody wallet: the encrypted vault lives on your device and the recovery phrase is never uploaded anywhere. Nobody — including us — can move your funds or reset your password for you, which is exactly why the phrase matters so much.
04 Which browsers and devices can I use it on?
The extension is built for desktop browsers based on Chromium (Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera) and for Firefox. On a phone you can use a mobile-friendly web wallet instead, and you can keep both looking at the same recovery phrase if you like.
05 What happens if I lose my device or forget my password?
A forgotten vault password can be reset, but only by restoring the wallet from your recovery phrase on a fresh install. If both the phrase and every device holding the wallet are gone, the funds cannot be recovered — so treat the paper copy as the real wallet and the extension as the door.
