Tonkeeper has rebranded as Keeper and expanded beyond the TON ecosystem to support seven blockchain networks.
The self-custodial wallet, which reports more than 77 million registered users, now supports TON, Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, and Base.
Keeper plans to introduce additional multichain features, including cross-chain swaps, decentralized-finance services, payment tools and perpetual-futures trading.
Keeper Expands Beyond the TON Blockchain
Tonkeeper was originally developed as a dedicated wallet for The Open Network. The Keeper rebrand reflects the platform’s transition into a broader multichain product while maintaining its existing TON integration.
Users will be able to hold and manage assets across the seven supported networks without transferring control of their private keys to a centralized custodian.
The Open Platform founder and CEO Andrew Rogozov said the company wants Keeper to become a default self-custodial wallet for users who hold, trade, and spend assets across multiple blockchains.
Keeper’s launch follows a recent change in the wallet’s management. The Open Platform, also known as TOP, announced last month that it had assumed operational leadership of Tonkeeper. Co-founders Oleg Andreev and Oleg Illarionov remain shareholders following the transition.
Rogozov led the company through the management change and subsequent rebranding process.
Keeper retains the features and TON connectivity associated with Tonkeeper while positioning the wallet to compete for users across the wider cryptocurrency market.
Battery Aims to Simplify Network Fees
Keeper also includes Battery, an infrastructure feature designed to enable gasless transactions.
Blockchain users ordinarily need to hold the native asset of each network to cover transaction fees. For example, Ethereum transactions typically require ETH, while activity on BNB Smart Chain requires BNB.
Battery allows users to pay fees without maintaining a separate balance of each blockchain’s native gas token. The feature could simplify the experience for users managing assets across several networks.
TOP plans to extend Battery across every blockchain supported by Keeper during the coming year.
Cross-Chain Swaps and DeFi Tools Planned
Keeper’s development roadmap includes native DeFi services and cross-chain swaps, which would allow users to exchange assets between supported networks from within the wallet.
The company also plans to introduce everyday spending tools and an integrated browser for accessing decentralized applications.
These additions would turn Keeper into a broader financial platform rather than a wallet focused exclusively on holding and transferring cryptocurrencies.
The team also intends to offer more advanced financial products, including perpetual-futures trading. Further information about launch dates, supported markets and geographical availability was not disclosed.
