Input | Output Partners with Brave to Integrate Cardano into Brave Wallet

Once live, the Input | Output (IO) led integration will bring full Cardano support to Brave Wallet, including Cardano native assets

Announced today, the integration will bring full Cardano support to Brave users, including Cardano native assets, as well as send, receive, swap, and signing capabilities- all natively embedded within Brave's best-in-class browser wallet. This also establishes Brave as a key partner to the Cardano community in the age of Voltaire.

“Our partnership with IO reflects Brave's commitment to building a Web3 that maximizes interoperability for user choice, while giving them better tools to engage with decentralized ecosystems,” said Brendan Eich, CEO and co-founder of Brave and the Basic Attention Token (BAT). "Integrating Cardano into Brave Wallet not only expands multi-chain access, but also enhances security, governance participation, and the overall user experience.”

Through this integration, announced today, Brave users and the broader Cardano community will gain direct access to Cardano's blockchain for activities such as governance participation and native asset management, all within the privacy-focused Brave Wallet. Additionally, Brave Wallet will support the execution of swaps with Cardano native tokens and other on-chain transactions.

This major milestone adds to Brave’s existing support for networks like Ethereum and Solana, and expands the multi-chain capabilities of Brave Wallet, enabling Cardano users to manage native assets like NIGHT, participate in on-chain governance, and seamlessly swap tokens—seamlessly, securely, and privately—through Brave's in-browser wallet.

"This collaboration with Brave is a natural fit," said Charles Hoskinson, CEO of IO. "We share a vision for a more secure, accessible, and user-respecting Web3. By bringing Cardano into Brave Wallet, we are not only expanding functionality for Cardano users in the age of on-chain governance, but also advancing a new standard for how blockchain networks should empower individuals—protecting privacy while enabling active, decentralized participation."

This partnership also sets the stage for future innovation around engagement with Cardano's governance and Midnight, a blockchain developed by Shielded Technologies, an Input | Output spinout focused on confidential smart contracts and data protection.
