Tonkeeper Wallet Is Now Keeper: What Changed and What Didn't

Keeper · 7 October 2026

Tonkeeper wallet is now called Keeper (formerly Tonkeeper): the same self-custodial app under a new name, now on seven networks, and your TON wallet, recovery phrase and funds stay exactly as they were. Just update the app you already have. Moving to a multichain wallet is optional, and your existing wallets keep their addresses.

Why Tonkeeper became Keeper

Tonkeeper became Keeper on 15 September 2026 because the wallet outgrew TON: users kept assets on other blockchains, so Ethereum, Bitcoin, BNB Chain, Arbitrum and Base joined TON and TRON, and the old name no longer fit. TON stays fully supported. If you know the wallet as Tonkeeper, or as тонкипер in Russian, it is the same wallet, and older Tonkeeper wallet reviews that describe a TON-only app are out of date.

What changed

In the move from Tonkeeper to Keeper, four things changed: the name, the website, the networks and the wallet types.

The biggest change is the multichain wallet. It holds assets on all seven networks under one 12-word recovery phrase, and swaps between networks happen inside the app, with no bridges and no second app. Create one with New Wallet, or import a wallet you already use in another app, such as Trust Wallet or MetaMask.

One more rename: in June 2026 the TON community voted to rename the network's coin from Toncoin to Gram (ticker GRAM). Balances, addresses and phrases stayed the same, with nothing to swap.

What didn't change

Your keys, your wallets and the app itself stayed the same after the rebrand. Keeper is still self-custodial: the keys stay on your device, you can create and use a wallet without an account, email or KYC, and the team has no access to your funds. The Tonkeeper app updates to Keeper in the App Store and Google Play with your wallets and balances untouched. The Tonkeeper wallet features you used on TON, from tokens and NFTs to dApps and staking, are still there. The web wallet and the Tonkeeper extension for Chrome are on the download page.

Do you need to migrate your wallet?

No, you don't need to migrate: moving to a Keeper multichain wallet is optional, and your TON wallet keeps working as it is. Migrate only if you want your TON and TRON assets next to Bitcoin, Ethereum and the other networks.

A TON wallet with a 24-word phrase can't be turned into a multichain wallet, because the two use different derivation paths (the rules that turn a phrase into keys and addresses). Is the Tonkeeper mnemonic BIP39? Only the word list: the 24-word TON phrase takes its words from the BIP39 list but turns them into keys TON's own way. Keeper moves the assets for you instead:

1. Update or install Keeper, then create a new multichain wallet or import an existing one.
2. Go to Settings and tap Migration.
3. Pick the TON wallet you want to move assets from.
4. If you haven't saved that wallet's recovery phrase yet, save it and pass the check.
5. Review the list of assets and confirm.

Assets move automatically within a couple of minutes, with no need to send each token by hand.

Migration moves your TON tokens and NFTs and your TRON USDT (TRC20) and TRX. The app shows the network fee before you confirm.

After you migrate, share your new addresses: your multichain wallet's addresses, including on TON, differ from your TON wallet's.

What happens to your Battery charges

Battery charges can't be moved to a multichain wallet. Battery is Keeper's prepaid balance for network fees, and its charges stay on your TON wallet, where you keep spending them as before. If you bought charges you no longer need, you can ask for a refund within 14 days of the purchase:

• Paid with crypto: open Settings → Battery → Charge History, pick the purchase and request the refund in Details.
• Paid through the App Store or Google Play: request the refund from Apple or Google, which handle in-app purchase refunds.

Is your recovery phrase still valid?

Yes, your Tonkeeper recovery phrase is still valid: every existing wallet keeps its phrase, and that phrase still restores the wallet in Keeper. A multichain wallet you create comes with its own 12-word phrase, so write that one down too and keep both. Store each seed phrase offline, never in screenshots or cloud notes. The rebrand needs nothing from you: anyone who asks for your phrase "to move to Keeper" is a scammer.

Watch out for fake Keeper apps and support

Migration only happens inside the official Keeper app, through Settings, and Keeper support only answers through the @tonkeeper bot on Telegram or support@tonkeeper.com. Treat these rebrand tricks as scams:

• a website or bot offering to "migrate to Keeper" outside the app;
• a "wallet verification" or "balance confirmation" message tied to the rebrand;
• a request to enter your recovery phrase on another site to "claim a migration bonus";
• a site asking you to "migrate TON to GRAM": the coin rename needs no action.

Get the app and the browser extension only from keeperwallet.com/download. The Chrome extension is still listed as Tonkeeper in the Chrome Web Store. Keeper's official news channels are @keeper_en and @keeper_cis on Telegram and @keeper_wallet on X. Keeper never messages you first and never asks for your recovery phrase, personal data or crypto. "Keeper Wallet" by Waves Technologies (an extension for the Waves blockchain) and the password manager Keeper Security are unrelated products.
