Tonkeeper, one of the most widely used self-custodial wallets in The Open Network (TON) ecosystem, is rebranding as Keeper and moving beyond TON to support six additional blockchain networks. The shift is a landmark change for a product that has built a base of more than 77 million registered accounts largely around TON.

Under the new Keeper identity, the wallet will add support for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Tron, BNB Smart Chain, Arbitrum, and Base alongside TON, converting a previously single-chain product into a multichain application that lets users manage assets across all seven networks through a single interface. Arbitrum and Base are Ethereum layer-2 networks — the same category of chains where the company said its users' holdings have already been expanding. The expansion places Keeper alongside established self-custodial competitors and broadens its potential use across other segments of the digital asset market. Keeper's official website is available at keeperwallet.com.

User Activity Drives the Rebrand

According to the company, the decision mirrors changes in how its current users handle digital assets. Keeper said many people who first adopted Tonkeeper to manage TON-based assets have progressively started holding Bitcoin, Ether, stablecoins, and tokens on Ethereum-compatible layer-2 networks.

That multichain behavior has, in the company's view, forced users to depend on multiple applications to administer different holdings, leaving the Tonkeeper name an increasingly poor fit for the functionality now being built.

The rebrand is not a retreat from TON. Keeper will keep its original TON integration while extending coverage to other major networks, with the goal of offering one self-custodial interface for assets across multiple blockchains.

The announcement follows a management transition disclosed in August, when The Open Platform took over operational leadership of Tonkeeper. Co-founders Oleg Andreev and Oleg Illarionov remain shareholders, while The Open Platform now plays a more direct role in product and business strategy.

Battery Remains a Key Feature

Battery, one of Keeper's existing features, will stay in the product. The system covers transaction fees on users' behalf, sparing them from holding each blockchain's native gas token for routine transactions.

Coverage is set to widen across the supported networks over the next year. The company said the feature could grow more useful as users transact across blockchains with different fee mechanisms.

Keeper also intends to broaden the product beyond asset storage, introducing cross-chain swaps, DeFi services, spending tools, a decentralized application browser, a loyalty program, and perpetual futures trading over the coming year. No specific release dates have been given. Taken together, the roadmap signals an ambition to build a broader financial platform rather than a custody tool with basic management functions.

Building a Broader Web3 Platform

Keeper's current architecture lets users connect blockchain wallets and prove ownership through cryptographic signatures without revealing private keys or seed phrases, keeping the self-custodial model intact while opening access to assets on multiple networks.

Planned cross-chain swaps could further cut the need to shuttle between separate applications when exchanging assets on different networks, while DeFi integrations and spending features would push the wallet into additional financial activities.

The proposed perpetual futures functionality would extend it into derivatives trading. If delivered, users would be able to reach leveraged trading products from a self-custodial wallet environment instead of relying exclusively on separate trading venues.

TON Ecosystem Moves Toward Multichain

Keeper's transformation is part of a wider movement among TON-native projects. MyTonWallet rebranded as My Wallet in June after broadening its network coverage, and TON-based decentralized exchange STON.fi launched cross-chain swaps in July. Keeper's own move follows those earlier steps.

The trend comes as TON grows increasingly tied to Telegram's digital-asset infrastructure. Telegram has expanded TON's role in its crypto-enabled mini-app ecosystem, while The Open Platform keeps building products around the network. The firm also runs other TON-related products, including the self-custodial TON Wallet embedded in Telegram. According to the report, The Open Platform raised $28.5 million at a $1 billion valuation in 2025.

Competition Shifts Toward Financial Services

The multichain wallet market has steadily moved past simple asset storage as providers layer on swaps, staking, decentralized finance, and other services. Keeper's planned feature set positions it squarely within that transition.

With more than 77 million registered users, Keeper starts its multichain push with an established distribution base. The central operational challenge will be turning users who arrived for TON-related activity into regular users of its wider network and financial services.

For users, the expansion could consolidate assets and blockchain activity that previously demanded several applications, while preserving self-custody and removing any need to share private keys or seed phrases.

Concrete markers of the rollout to watch over the coming year include the activation of support for the six new networks, the widening of Battery fee coverage across them, and the sequence in which cross-chain swaps, DeFi services, and trading tools arrive.

Keeper's rebrand is therefore both a change of product identity and a broader strategic effort by The Open Platform to carry a successful TON-focused wallet into the wider multichain digital-asset market.
