Tonkeeper (Ton APPS UK)

4.1/5 4.6/5 · Data verified on

Tonkeeper is the most widely used self-custody wallet for the TON (The Open Network) blockchain, available on iOS, Android and browser extensions. Private keys stay on the user's device, protected by a recovery phrase: no account and no email are required to use it. Beyond sending and receiving the TON network's native token, Tonkeeper integrates asset swaps via decentralized exchanges, staking to earn yield, buy and sell, and the on-chain subscription management typical of the TON ecosystem. The code is published on GitHub under the Apache 2.0 licence (Ton APPS UK Limited). There is also Tonkeeper Pro, a desktop edition aimed at advanced users and treasuries, with multi-wallet and multi-signature features. It is compatible with the Ledger hardware wallet for the TON network.
