Tonkeeper Becomes Keeper and Expands to Seven Blockchains

Tonkeeper has dropped its chain-specific name and relaunched as Keeper, adding Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, and Base alongside TON. The change turns a wallet built around one blockchain into a seven-network self-custody product, but the more significant shift is what Keeper is trying to remove: the need to juggle separate wallets, bridge services, and native gas tokens when moving between ecosystems.

Keeper now covers seven networks instead of one

The new Keeper supports TON, Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, and Base. Tonkeeper was originally designed as a dedicated wallet for The Open Network, while Keeper is positioned as a broader multichain wallet. The company says the rebrand does not replace existing accounts: current users keep their keys, recovery phrase, and balances while the additional networks can be enabled in the app. 

That distinction matters for self-custody. A self-custodial wallet means the user controls the recovery credentials rather than handing custody of the assets to an exchange. Expanding the number of supported chains therefore does not simply mean displaying more coins in one interface; it means the wallet must handle different blockchain transaction systems while keeping the user's signing credentials under their control. Keeper says its recovery phrase remains on the user's device. 

The biggest change is reducing the friction between chains

Multichain users often encounter a practical problem that has little to do with the asset itself: every network has its own transaction rules and fee requirements. Sending an asset on Ethereum can require Ethereum's native token for fees, while a transaction on TRON can require TRX. Moving between networks can also introduce bridges or separate applications. Keeper is attempting to put those tasks behind one wallet interface rather than making users switch applications each time. 

Its Battery feature is designed around that problem. Keeper describes Battery as fee infrastructure that can cover network transaction costs so users do not always need to keep the native gas token for the network they are using. The current product page specifically advertises gas sponsorship on TON and TRON, including USDT transfers on TRON, so the broader promise should not be interpreted as every supported network already having identical fee coverage. 

Cross-chain swaps change what the wallet is becoming

Keeper is also moving beyond the traditional model of a wallet that mainly stores and sends assets. Its current product page advertises cross-chain swaps, allowing users to exchange assets across supported networks from the wallet interface. The App Store listing likewise describes one-tap cross-chain swaps and says the transaction fee is shown before confirmation. 

That creates a different user experience from simply adding more blockchain addresses. If the swap infrastructure works as intended, a user can start with an asset on one network and receive another asset on a different network without manually arranging every intermediate step. The important limitation is that cross-chain functionality still depends on the specific assets, networks, liquidity routes, and services available behind the interface; supporting seven chains does not mean every possible pair can be exchanged in the same way.

The roadmap goes beyond wallets and transfers

The Open Platform, which operates Keeper, has described additional plans for the product over the coming year. These include extending Battery to more supported networks, adding decentralized finance services, expanding cross-chain swaps, introducing everyday spending tools, and providing a decentralized-application browser. The company has also discussed additional financial products, including perpetual futures. 

Those plans would move Keeper closer to an all-in-one crypto application rather than a conventional wallet. A decentralized application, or dApp, is software that interacts with blockchain networks through smart contracts rather than relying entirely on a conventional centralized backend. Bringing dApps, swaps, staking, spending, and trading into the same application could reduce the number of tools a user needs, but it also means the wallet becomes responsible for presenting increasingly complicated financial functions safely.

The TON connection has not disappeared

The rebrand does not remove Keeper's original TON focus. The company continues to present TON as a native part of the product, while the new networks extend the wallet's reach beyond that ecosystem. The official site lists TON, TRON, Ethereum, Bitcoin, Arbitrum, Base, and BNB Chain as the supported networks.

That gives the expansion a practical reason beyond changing the name. Users who originally came to the wallet for TON can now keep assets from several major ecosystems in the same application, while users arriving from Bitcoin or Ethereum can access TON without installing a separate wallet. The strategy depends on whether that convenience is enough to make users keep more of their activity inside one self-custodial application.

Existing users have a simpler transition than a new wallet would suggest

For existing Tonkeeper users, the change is designed to happen inside the existing product rather than through a completely separate wallet. Keeper's App Store listing says accounts and balances remain untouched, while the new networks can be activated from the app. The listing also shows the product continuing under the same App Store application identity, with recent version 26.09.x releases focused on the transition and subsequent bug fixes and stability improvements. 

That makes the immediate change less about migrating funds and more about expanding what the existing wallet can do. Users should still verify the network shown before approving a transaction, because similar asset names can exist on different chains and a multichain interface does not remove the underlying differences between networks.

What to watch as Keeper expands

The seven-chain launch establishes the foundation, but the longer-term test is whether the additional services arrive with the same consistency across networks. Keeper's current materials already distinguish between features available now and services planned for broader rollout. Battery, cross-chain swaps, decentralized-application access, spending tools, and future trading products will each introduce different technical and security requirements. 

For now, the clearest change is straightforward: the wallet formerly known as Tonkeeper is no longer limited to TON. Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, and Base are now part of the product, while the company is building additional services around that multichain foundation. The next stage will show whether Keeper's broader feature set can make managing several blockchain ecosystems genuinely simpler without hiding the risks and differences that still exist underneath.
