Tonkeeper Rebrands as Keeper and Expands Multichain Wallet Beyond TON

yesterday / 22:54 2 sources positive

Key takeaways:

  • Multichain push may pressure self-custody rivals to match Keeper's gasless UX across BTC/ETH.
  • Keeper's 77M TON users could accelerate EVM adoption if Battery cross-chain execution delivers.
  • Perpetual futures roadmap signals wallets encroaching on exchange trading revenue, watch TON/ETH liquidity.

Tonkeeper, the self-custodial wallet originally built for the TON ecosystem, has rebranded to Keeper and expanded its support to six additional blockchain networks: Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum and Base. The wallet reports more than 77 million registered users.

The move transforms a TON-focused product into a broader multichain wallet while preserving its existing TON integration. It is intended to give Keeper access to users and assets across several of crypto's largest networks, broadening its addressable market as self-custody providers compete to become the main interface for holding, trading and spending digital assets.

The rebrand follows a leadership change announced last month, when The Open Platform (TOP) took over operational leadership of Tonkeeper. Co-founders Oleg Andreev and Oleg Illarionov remain shareholders, while TOP founder and CEO Andrew Rogozov led the transition. Rogozov said: “Keeper is the next chapter: taking the simplicity we’re known for beyond TON and into the broader crypto economy. Our ambition is simple: to build the default self-custodial wallet for a multichain world, where people can hold, trade, and spend freely across any chain.”

Keeper will retain its Battery gasless transaction infrastructure, which lets users pay network fees without holding each chain's native gas token. TOP said it plans to extend Battery across all supported networks to reduce friction. The roadmap also includes native decentralized finance services, cross-chain swaps, everyday spending tools, an integrated browser for decentralized applications, and eventually perpetual futures trading. The derivatives push would move Keeper into more direct competition with exchanges and trading platforms, while leveraging its large existing user base.

The expansion is notable because Keeper's scale was built largely through TON, a blockchain closely associated with Telegram's crypto ecosystem. By adding Bitcoin, Ethereum and major EVM networks, the wallet is positioning itself to compete for users whose activity extends beyond Telegram-linked applications and TON-native assets.
