Tonkeeper has dropped its old name. The wallet is now Keeper and has moved beyond TON to support Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, Arbitrum, Base and BNB Chain.
More than a rebrand, the change reflects an attempt to turn a TON-focused wallet into a broader self-custody tool for users managing assets across several networks.
That brings a bigger opportunity — but also a technical question for existing users: does the new multichain wallet share the same wallet structure and recovery process as the old Tonkeeper app?
The answer isn’t always straightforward.
Why Tonkeeper Became Keeper
Tonkeeper began as a dedicated wallet for the TON blockchain. As users started holding assets across more networks, the original name became too narrow for the product the team wanted to build.
Keeper’s official explanation is that the rebrand reflects its move beyond TON and TRON into a broader multichain wallet. The project says the original TON wallet remains supported and that existing users can continue accessing it.
The new Keeper app is positioned around self-custody. Users control their recovery phrases and private keys, while the wallet provides access to supported networks, swaps, staking, dApps and fiat payment services.
Which Networks Does Keeper Support?
Keeper currently lists seven supported networks: TON, TRON, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Arbitrum, Base and BNB Chain. The same wallet interface can be used to manage assets from these ecosystems, although available features vary by network.
The expansion puts Keeper in direct competition with established multichain wallets such as MetaMask, Trust Wallet and Coinbase Wallet. Keeper’s main advantage is its TON background and its Battery feature, which can help users pay transaction fees on TON and TRON without holding the native gas tokens.
That convenience does not extend automatically to every supported chain. Ethereum, Bitcoin, Arbitrum, Base and BNB Chain still have their own fee structures, transaction requirements and address formats.
Users should therefore confirm the network before sending funds. A wallet that supports several chains does not make those chains interchangeable.
Existing Tonkeeper Wallets Are Not Simply Rewritten
This is the part most likely to cause confusion.
Keeper’s help documentation explains that the older TON-only wallet and the new multichain wallet use different derivation paths. A recovery phrase created for one wallet structure may not open the same addresses in the other structure.
Keeper says users can continue accessing an existing TON wallet through the option to add an existing wallet. Those who want a new multichain wallet may need to create one separately and move assets through a migration process.
This is not necessarily a security problem. It is a wallet architecture issue. But it makes the migration process important. A user who restores the wrong wallet type may see a different address and assume that funds have disappeared, when the assets are still associated with the original wallet structure.
The safest approach is to verify the receiving address on the blockchain before moving any funds. Users should also avoid deleting the old wallet until they have confirmed that the new setup works correctly.
MoonPay Now Powers In-Wallet Trading
Keeper has also expanded its trading infrastructure through a partnership with MoonPay Trade. The integration allows users to buy and swap supported assets across several networks without leaving the wallet application.
This is useful for users who want fewer separate applications, but it does not turn Keeper into a traditional exchange.
The wallet remains self-custodial, while some trading and fiat services are provided by third parties. Fees, exchange rates, payment options and regional availability may vary. Users should review the final quote before approving a transaction, especially when using cross-chain swaps.
Convenience does not remove execution risk. A failed transaction, unsuitable route or high slippage can still affect the final amount received.
What Keeper Battery Actually Does
Keeper Battery is one of the product’s most visible features. It allows users to fund transaction fees with crypto or a card and use that balance to pay network fees on TON and TRON.
For new users, this removes one common obstacle: holding a small amount of TON or TRX solely to move another asset. However, the feature is not a universal gas-free system. It currently applies to TON and TRON, while the other supported networks continue to use their normal fee models.
The cost is also not necessarily zero. Battery payments, third-party services and blockchain fees may still be reflected in the transaction or service rate.
Is Keeper Safe?
Keeper is a self-custodial software wallet, which means the user remains responsible for the recovery phrase and transaction approvals.
Keeper says recovery phrases are created and stored on the user’s device rather than on its servers. That reduces dependence on a central custodian, but it also removes the possibility of a customer-service password reset. If the device and recovery phrase are both lost, Keeper cannot restore the wallet.
Users should keep the recovery phrase offline and avoid storing it in screenshots, cloud storage, messaging applications or ordinary note-taking tools. They should also download the wallet from the official Keeper website or verified app-store listing.
The multichain expansion adds another layer of caution. Users must check whether an asset belongs to TON, TRON, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Base, Arbitrum or BNB Chain before signing a transaction. A correct token sent through the wrong network can be difficult or impossible to recover.
What the Rebrand Means for the Wallet Market
Keeper’s move reflects a broader shift in crypto wallets. Users no longer want separate applications for every chain, but combining networks creates new design and security challenges.
Keeper has a clear starting advantage in TON and now offers access to seven networks, cross-chain trading and a gas-payment tool for TON and TRON. Its challenge is to make the multichain experience simple without hiding the technical differences that determine whether a transaction succeeds.
For existing Tonkeeper users, the practical takeaway is simple: the brand changed, the TON network remains supported, but the new multichain wallet should be treated as a distinct wallet structure until the migration is verified.
