# Daedalus

Daedalus is a full-node hierarchical deterministic (HD) desktop wallet for ada.

Daedalus comes bundled with a full Cardano node, so requires a relatively high specification desktop machine for good performance. The wallet stores the entire history of the Cardano blockchain and validates all blocks and transactions for fully trustless and autonomous operation.
