Input | Output (IO) Integrates Cardano into Brave Wallet

Live integration of Input | Output (IO) and and will bring full Cardano support to Brave.

This will include Cardano native assets, as well as send, receive, swap, and signing capabilities–all natively embedded within Brave’s best-in-class browser wallet.

This integration is a key partnership in the age of Voltaire.

It will also provide the broader Cardano community with direct access to the Cardano 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 enhances Brave’s multi-chain capabilities, adding to its existing support for networks like Ethereum and Solana.

Cardano users will now be able to manage native assets like NIGHT, engage in governance, and seamlessly swap tokens–seamlessly and privately–through Brave’s in-browser wallet.

”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.”

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.
