The default wallet for the Cosmos ecosystem, with native IBC transfers, one-click interchain staking and governance across well over a hundred networks.
Our assessment
Keplr is the wallet the Cosmos ecosystem is built around. Made by Chainapsis, it covers well over a hundred interchain networks with native IBC transfers, one-click staking and governance voting, across a browser extension and a mobile app.
IBC is the reason it exists
Cosmos is many sovereign chains that talk to each other over IBC, and moving assets between them is a routine operation rather than a bridge event. Keplr makes that feel ordinary — which is exactly why generic EVM wallets never took hold here, and why Cosmos users treat Keplr as infrastructure rather than as a choice.
Staking and governance in the wallet
On proof-of-stake chains, staking is not an add-on product — it is how the network works and how holders avoid dilution. Keplr surfaces validator selection, rewards and governance proposals directly, including Bitcoin staking through Babylon. Choosing a validator well matters, and the wallet at least puts the decision in front of you.
Verification gaps
Source is published under the vendor organisation and documentation is reachable without an account, but we found no dedicated security disclosure page and no legal terms at conventional addresses. Private keys stay on the device and are not transmitted to Chainapsis servers.
Who it suits
Keplr fits anyone holding, staking or governing on Cosmos chains — for that ecosystem there is no serious alternative. It is not the wallet for Ethereum-centric DeFi, where MetaMask and Rabby have far deeper dapp coverage.
How rivals compare
Frequently asked
Does this score mean Keplr is safe?
No. It measures what a user can verify before installing: published source, documented security posture, open documentation and an identifiable publisher. Runtime key handling is not tested by us.
Why does open source matter for a wallet?
It is the one substantive property an outsider can check without reverse-engineering the app. Everything else requires trusting the publisher or a third-party audit.
What would raise this score?
Publishing source, a dedicated security page, open documentation and terms at stable public addresses — all checkable by anyone.
