History & Background
Keplr launched in 2020 and became the dominant wallet for the Cosmos ecosystem. Its IBC (Inter-Blockchain Communication) support was crucial for Cosmos users moving assets between chains. It also supported Ethereum via MetaMask snaps in later versions.
WalletGuard tracks every official release of Keplr and cross-references download hashes against the developer-signed artifacts so you can verify what you install.
Who should use Keplr
Best for: Cosmos ecosystem participants who need to stake ATOM, participate in governance, and use IBC to move assets between Cosmos chains.
Custody type: Self-custody
Risk profile: Open-source browser extension. Primarily focused on Cosmos — for Ethereum usage consider a dedicated EVM wallet alongside Keplr.
