What is Keplr wallet?

Keplr wallet is a self-custody crypto wallet designed for blockchains built with the Cosmos SDK, a shared framework used by many app-specific chains. Keplr's documentation says keys are stored locally on your device and every signature needs your approval. Over time it has added support for other ecosystems, including EVM networks, Bitcoin and Starknet.

How does Keplr work with Cosmos chains?

Many blockchains in the Cosmos ecosystem share the same software framework, the Cosmos SDK, and Keplr was built to hold accounts on all of them from one recovery phrase. Each chain has its own address, but you manage them in one place. Developers connect their apps to Keplr using libraries such as CosmJS, and a chain that is not built in can ask Keplr to add it through a suggest-chain process.

Keplr's homepage lists cross-chain swaps, staking and liquid staking, claiming rewards, sending and receiving, buying crypto, NFT management and governance voting. The App Store listing says you can sign in with a Google account, a seed phrase or a private key. In November 2026, Keplr suspended Google and Apple login after a flaw at Web3Auth, the service that generates keys for those accounts, exposed private keys; accounts made with a recovery phrase or a hardware wallet were not affected, Keplr said.

Where can you use the Keplr wallet extension and app?

As of November 2026, Keplr offers a browser extension, with Chrome recommended, and mobile apps for iOS and Android. The mobile app includes an app browser for opening dapps. The App Store lists the developer as Space Explorers Inc.

The extension also connects to Ledger hardware wallets on desktop. You open the Cosmos app on the Ledger for Cosmos chains, and optionally the Ethereum, Bitcoin or Starknet apps for those networks. Keplr notes that Bluetooth works only with the Ledger Nano X and that hardware problems are handled by Ledger support. For more on these devices, see what is a hardware wallet.

What is the Keplr wallet dashboard?

The Keplr Dashboard is a web interface at wallet.keplr.app. It shows whichever account is active in your extension, and adds portfolio tracking, transaction history, an inbox for alerts, and governance voting. Signing in uses an off-chain signature under the ADR-36 standard, so it does not create a blockchain transaction or cost a fee.

How does Keplr staking work?

Most Cosmos chains use proof of stake, where you delegate tokens to a validator and earn a share of rewards. In Keplr you can stake and unstake, move your stake to a different validator, cancel an unstaking request, and see how much time is left in the unbonding period. The dashboard inbox can warn you when a validator's status or commission changes.

The length of the unbonding period is set by each chain, so it varies. Our guides on what is crypto staking and how long unstaking takes explain the general mechanics.
