Keplr Wallet

Keplr is a non-custodial blockchain wallets for webpages that allow users to interact with blockchain applications.

The important points contained are:

• Private keys are stored locally. This removes the friction and risk of webpages having to manage user private keys safely and securely.
• As the user's private key is not managed by the website, users do not have to worry about the level of security of the website. The user only has to trust the security guarantees of Keplr, and freely interact with various web applications as they wish (and verify the contents of the transaction).
• Keplr can easily connect to libraries such as CosmJS, simplifying the process of connecting webpages to blockchains.

Keplr is an IBC-enabled wallet
IBC (or Inter-Blockchain Communication Protocol) is a unique feature of the Interchain ecosystem which allows blockchains to communicate with each other. Outside networks (like some central exchanges) may not support IBC and will not recognize your Keplr transfers, so make sure to check this before proceeding with a transaction to outside the network.


Each Keplr account sign-up type opens a different account
Depending on the device, Keplr wallet offers several ways to sign up for an account: Google login, Apple login, seed phrase, Ledger, or importing an existing account. Each of these methods will open a different account, so once you choose one, remember the method and keep the login info handy (and safe!) in order to access the same account.


Anyone can add a chain to Keplr wallet
A unique feature of Keplr Wallet is that anyone can add their chain through Keplr's "Suggest Chain" feature without permission from the Keplr team. This is to foster a more decentralized, open environment for the growth of the ecosystem.
An important point to note is that the Keplr connection with permissionlessly added chains are maintained by the chain's managing team and not by Keplr. Any troubleshooting requests should be directed to that respective chain's team.


Native vs Suggest Chain
The difference between the two is that native chains are contracted partnerships with Keplr Wallet and suggest chains can be added permissionlessly by anyone. On the Keplr wallet interface, native chains are seen from the drop down menu and suggested chains are listed under "beta."
