Company profile
researched Aug 2026Keplr is a self-custodial multichain crypto wallet that lets users hold, transfer, swap, stake and govern assets across many blockchains from a single interface, without manually switching networks. It ships as a browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, Edge), iOS and Android mobile apps, and a web dashboard at wallet.keplr.app. Core features include cross-chain swaps, staking and reward claiming, buying/selling crypto, NFT display, governance voting, transaction history, an in-app dApp browser, and connections to third-party apps via QR code or hardware wallets such as Ledger. Onboarding supports seed phrases (12 or 24 words), private key import, and social logins via Google account or Apple ID.
Beyond the consumer wallet, Keplr publishes a set of adjacent products: the Keplr Validator Dashboard (KVD) for validators to claim commissions, vote and explain votes, and manage operations without CLI commands; Keplr Multisig (marked beta) for shared account management by DAOs and teams; Oko, described as a fully open-source embedded wallet stack offering email/social login onboarding and a portable wallet across apps; and Keplr Infra, an RPC provider and validator operation advertising a 99.9%+ SLA across 40+ networks and 60+ servers. The wallet advertises support for Cosmos-ecosystem chains alongside Bitcoin and Ethereum, plus EVM and Starknet support.
The wallet is closely associated with the Cosmos ecosystem, where third-party commentary describes it as the ecosystem's most widely used wallet and notes native IBC support and granular gas/fee controls. A 2023 write-up describes a "Keplr 2.0" release of the Chrome extension that reworked onboarding and the presentation of multi-chain assets, staking and governance, while the extension's version numbering remained below 1.0 (0.12.14 at the time), and highlights support for managing multiple identities via multiple simultaneous seed phrases and custom derivation paths.
Founding story
Keplr was founded by Josh Lee, who is also a co-founder of Osmosis, the main decentralized exchange in the Cosmos ecosystem. A contemporaneous account places Lee and Osmosis co-founder Sunny Aggarwal at HackATOM Seoul in July 2019, where Cosmos-ecosystem projects were presented and awarded.
Business model
Keplr distributes free consumer wallet software (extension, mobile apps, dashboard) and operates adjacent infrastructure and developer products, including RPC provisioning and validator operations under Keplr Infra and the open-source Oko embedded wallet stack. The Google Play listing indicates the Android app contains ads and in-app purchases. The sources do not otherwise detail pricing or monetization.
Not disclosed in the available sources; the Google Play listing states the Android app contains ads and in-app purchases, and Keplr operates validator and RPC infrastructure, but no fee or revenue terms are stated.
Traction
The company's website cites 20+ supported chains, 1M+ monthly transacting users and 1M+ installs (per the site's counter display), and Keplr Infra figures of 40+ networks, 60+ servers and 3M+ requests/day (10B/month). The Google Play listing shows 500K+ downloads and a 3.7 rating from about 3,100 reviews; the Apple App Store listing shows a 3.6 rating from 271 ratings.
Latest developments
The website lists Oko, an open-source embedded wallet stack, as new and Keplr Multisig as in beta, and advertises EVM and Starknet support with additional chains described as forthcoming. The Google Play listing shows a recent update adding a 'Cancel Unstaking' feature, WalletConnect stabilization and general stability improvements, with an update date of 2026-08-05.
▸Full profile — market position, technology, go-to-market, geography, history, risks & controversies
Market position
Third-party commentary characterizes Keplr as the most popular wallet in the Cosmos ecosystem, comparing its role there to MetaMask's in Ethereum, and rates its functionality and interface favorably against MetaMask while noting the two serve different ecosystems. Other Cosmos-ecosystem infrastructure providers referenced alongside Keplr include Cosmostation.
Positioned as a multichain-first wallet that removes manual network switching, with native IBC support, fine-grained gas and fee selection in the token of the user's choice, simultaneous management of multiple seed phrases and custom derivation paths, social-login onboarding, and an integrated suite covering validators, DAO multisig, embedded wallets and RPC infrastructure.
Technology
Self-custodial key management with support for 12- or 24-word seed phrases, private key import, social login (Google/Apple), and hardware wallets (Ledger). The wallet is multichain, covering Cosmos-ecosystem chains with native IBC transfers, Bitcoin, Ethereum and other EVM networks, and Starknet, and supports multiple simultaneous mnemonics and custom BIP44 derivation paths for separate identities and accounts. App connectivity uses QR-code sign-in and WalletConnect. Keplr Infra provides RPC endpoints and validator services across 40+ networks on 60+ servers, cited at 3M+ requests/day and 10B/month with a 99.9%+ SLA. Oko is presented as a fully open-source embedded wallet stack.
Go-to-market
Distribution is primarily direct-to-user through browser extension stores (Chrome, Firefox, Edge) and mobile app stores (Apple App Store, Google Play), plus a web dashboard. Adoption is reinforced by integrations with chains and decentralized applications in the Cosmos and broader multichain ecosystem, and by developer-facing products (Oko embedded wallet stack, Keplr Infra RPC) that bring the wallet into third-party apps.
Retail crypto users managing assets, staking, NFTs and governance across multiple chains; validators operating on proof-of-stake networks; DAOs and teams needing shared/multisig account management; and application developers embedding wallets or consuming RPC infrastructure.
Geography
The team is based in South Korea; the Google Play developer record lists (주)우주탐험가 (Space Explorers Inc.) at an address in Mapo-gu, Seoul. The products are distributed globally through app stores and the web, with English-language listings.
History
Keplr emerged from the Korean Cosmos developer community; its founder Josh Lee was present at HackATOM Seoul in July 2019 and later co-founded Osmosis. The mobile app has been available since at least early 2022 based on dated App Store reviews. In 2023 the team shipped a "Keplr 2.0" revision of the Chrome extension focused on onboarding and multi-chain, staking and governance presentation. The product line has since expanded beyond the wallet to a validator dashboard, a beta multisig product, the Oko embedded wallet stack, and Keplr Infra RPC/validator services, with EVM and Starknet support added alongside Cosmos chains.
Risks & controversies
App store reviews include user reports of losses: one App Store reviewer described being phished by a fake Keplr login popup that captured their seed phrase and asked for device/IP login alerts, and Google Play reviewers reported disappearing balances after updates and unresolved refunds. Reviewers also flag missing chain support (e.g. Solana), missing Safari extension and Sign-in-with-Apple gaps on web, and absent 2FA/whitelisting controls. Aggregate ratings are moderate (3.6 on iOS, 3.7 on Google Play). No funding, ownership or regulatory information is available in the sources, limiting verification.
