Users in The Open Network ecosystem no longer need to install a series of separate applications just to hold Bitcoin and Ethereum. TON’s flagship crypto wallet, Tonkeeper, has officially rebranded to Keeper and opened its doors to six major blockchains beyond its native environment.
In addition to continuing to handle transactions across the TON ecosystem, Keeper now provides self-custodial storage for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, and Base - bringing its total coverage to seven networks. The rebranding marks the app’s evolution from a single-ecosystem wallet into a multi-chain crypto terminal. Despite expanding across more networks, the developers have retained its self-custodial architecture. This design choice ensures users maintain full direct control over their assets without relying on intermediaries or third-party exchanges.
“Tonkeeper earned its place as the home of TON, trusted by millions worldwide. Keeper is the next chapter,” said Andrew Rogozov, founder and CEO of The Open Platform, when announcing the wallet’s new direction.
Signals from User Behavior
Keeper’s expansion plans were directly triggered by daily user behavior. Nikita Monastyrskiy, Chief Marketing Officer at Keeper, explained that the decision to rebrand stemmed from signals sent by their own users, who now require more direct access to a wider variety of tokens.
“People who trust Tonkeeper have stopped living on a single chain,” Monastyrskiy said. “They hold USDT on Tron, Bitcoin, ETH, and L2 assets - managing them across four or five different apps.”
This hassle of managing four to five separate wallet apps is what the Keeper team aims to eliminate. To complement the cross-chain experience, developers are leveraging their Battery feature. Designed to eliminate gas fee friction, the tool allows users to pay network fees without needing to hold each chain’s native tokens. Developers plan to roll out full Battery support across all seven supported chains over the next year.
Following in Competitors’ Footsteps
The trend of dropping TON branding from crypto wallet identities began in mid-2026. Roughly four months ago in June, rival wallet application MyTonWallet made a similar move.
That service shortened its name to My Wallet as part of an expansion roadmap that immediately introduced support for 11 different networks. Beyond wallet apps, multi-chain expansion strategies were also recently executed by STON.fi, the largest decentralized exchange (DEX) based on the TON network.
This wave of expansion across leading TON projects highlights the shifting landscape of crypto utility. Operating exclusively within a single ecosystem is no longer viable for a user base accustomed to holding assets across multiple blockchains at once.
