What is Keeper Wallet
Keeper Wallet (formerly Waves Keeper) is a self-custodial wallet for the Waves blockchain, available as a browser extension, a mobile app and a web version. Keys are encrypted and stored on the user's device. It is owned by DLTech Ltd, a Seychelles company.
Who holds the keys
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Key control | Self-custodial: secret phrases and private keys are encrypted with the user's Keeper password and stored on the device. |
| Custodian | The company does not store the seed or password and never sends them to its servers. |
| Seed phrase | A new account is created with a 15-word secret phrase. |
| Recovery | Access is restored from the secret phrase or an encrypted backup file; Email and Ledger accounts are not included in backups. |
| Account model | Accounts can be imported by secret phrase, private key, email account (WX Network) or Ledger device. |
Features and supported networks
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Platforms | Browser extension (Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Opera, Edge), iOS and Android app, and a web version. |
| Supported networks | Waves Mainnet by default; the web version (beta) also supports Ethereum through Multi-Coin accounts. |
| Swaps | Built-in token swaps through Swop.fi and Puzzle Swap pairs. |
| Hardware wallet support | Ledger Nano X and Nano S accounts can be added; transactions are confirmed in Keeper and on the device. |
| dApp browser | Websites request a signature for each transaction; the mobile app connects to dApps by QR code. |
| NFTs | Tokens and NFTs are shown under separate tabs; NFTs are grouped by creator address. |
Security and audits
- Browser extension source code is published on GitHub under a proprietary DLTech Ltd licence that forbids modifying, copying or redistributing it; it is not an open-source licence.
- Seed phrases and private keys are encrypted with AES and stored locally; dApps and websites have no access to them (vendor statement).
- The Terms state there is no warranty that the service is error-free and that it may contain weaknesses and vulnerabilities.
- No third-party audit report or bug bounty is published on the official site or docs.
Security incidents
Further incidents are reported by third parties (press, incident databases) but are not confirmed in the company’s own channels, so they are not listed here.
