Keeper, formerly known as Tonkeeper, has expanded from a TON-focused wallet into a self-custodial product supporting seven blockchain networks, adding Bitcoin, Ethereum, TRON, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum and Base alongside TON.
The rebrand, announced Tuesday, places one of the largest wallets associated with the TON ecosystem into direct competition for users who manage assets across several chains. Keeper reported more than 77 million registered users, although registered accounts do not necessarily indicate active wallet users or balances held.
The product’s multichain release retains its existing TON functions while allowing users to access assets and applications on the newly supported networks from the same wallet interface. The wallet remains self-custodial, meaning users control their private keys rather than depositing assets with a centralized platform.
Battery is carried into the multichain wallet
A central part of the expansion is Battery, Keeper’s gasless transaction system. Network fees are normally paid in a blockchain’s native token, such as ETH on Ethereum or BTC for Bitcoin transactions. That requirement can complicate basic transfers for users who hold a token but do not also keep a separate balance for fees.
Keeper said Battery is designed to allow users to pay network fees without holding every chain’s native gas token. The feature was already associated with the wallet’s previous TON-focused offering and is now being carried forward as part of the multichain rollout.
The company plans to extend Battery to all supported networks over the next year, according to its roadmap. Delivery will depend on the technical and commercial arrangements needed to support fee payments across chains, where transaction structures and gas systems differ substantially.
For users, a cross-chain fee tool could make moving smaller balances less cumbersome, particularly on networks where fees and token requirements can become an obstacle to occasional transactions. It also shifts more of the complexity of gas management into the wallet’s underlying infrastructure, making the service’s execution and pricing clearer areas to watch as support expands.
Top takes operational leadership
The rebrand follows a change in management at the wallet. The Open Platform, known as TOP, assumed operational leadership of Tonkeeper last month, according to the statement.
Tonkeeper co-founders Oleg Andreev and Oleg Illarionov remain shareholders, while Andrew Rogozov oversaw the transition. The announcement did not frame the change as a break with the wallet’s original team, but it gives TOP responsibility for operating a product that has been closely tied to the TON community.
TOP has built services around the TON ecosystem, which began as the blockchain network associated with Telegram before continuing as an independent project. Tonkeeper became a widely used access point for TON users, particularly as the network gained more consumer-facing applications and Telegram-linked crypto activity.
The decision to drop TON from the wallet’s brand reflects a broader product ambition: Keeper is intended to function across networks rather than primarily as an entry point into one ecosystem. The expanded name also avoids the mismatch that would come from offering Bitcoin and Ethereum services under a TON-specific label.
Defi, swaps and spending tools are on the roadmap
TOP said Keeper’s planned additions include native decentralized-finance services, cross-chain swaps, everyday spending tools and an in-app browser for decentralized applications. The company also identified perpetual futures trading as a prospective financial product.
Those features would move Keeper beyond storage and transfers toward an all-in-one wallet where users can trade, exchange tokens, interact with decentralized applications and potentially access derivatives. Perpetual futures are derivatives contracts that track an asset’s price without a fixed expiry date, and they can involve substantial risk because they commonly use leverage.
The roadmap does not provide launch dates for individual services. That leaves Keeper’s immediate release centered on network support and Battery, while its trading, DeFi and spending ambitions remain future work.
An in-app decentralized-application browser could reduce the need for users to move between separate wallet software and web interfaces when using protocols on Ethereum layer-2 networks such as Arbitrum and Base. Cross-chain swaps could similarly make the wallet more useful for people holding assets on different networks, though the eventual routes, fees and available assets will determine how practical the feature becomes.
A larger market beyond ton users
Keeper enters a crowded multichain wallet market, where users increasingly expect support for Bitcoin, Ethereum-compatible networks and decentralized applications within a single product. Its existing TON user base gives it a large potential audience for the new functions, while the added networks give current users fewer reasons to maintain separate wallets for major chains.
The expansion also exposes the product to a wider set of technical demands. Bitcoin uses a transaction model distinct from Ethereum and its compatible networks, while TRON and BNB Smart Chain have their own token and fee mechanics. Supporting these systems in one interface requires the wallet to present different transaction rules clearly, especially when users are sending assets or approving interactions with decentralized applications.
Users moving funds through the updated wallet may want to review the selected network, recipient address, conversion quote and displayed fees before confirming transactions. Cross-chain transfers and swaps can involve several steps, and a token with the same ticker can exist on multiple networks without being interchangeable.
Keeper’s rollout is therefore more than a visual rebrand. It turns a previously TON-centered wallet into a multichain gateway with plans to add payment, trading and DeFi functions, while TOP takes charge of building the infrastructure needed to connect those services across seven networks.
