Open-source hardware wallet. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, TON, TRON, Cosmos, and all EVM chains. Your keys never leave the device.
Local-first security with KeepKey Vault. KeepKey Vault offers a safer alternative to hosted sites and browser extensions by operating directly on your computer. It replaces older solutions like KeepKey Desktop and vault.keepkey.com with a privacy-focused, Bitcoin-first experience. Local-first means your private keys never leave your KeepKey hardware, while the app serves as a secure interface.
A self-custody solution. KeepKey Vault is the latest software to manage your KeepKey hardware wallet, emphasizing security and user sovereignty. It provides a robust, multi-chain wallet interface with a focus on Bitcoin. This app is local-first, running entirely on your computer, not a remote server, ensuring that your private keys stay secure on the KeepKey hardware device itself.
A shift from cloud to local. KeepKey Vault replaces both the older KeepKey Desktop app and the vault.keepkey.com website. These previous models relied on hosted environments, which introduce potential security risks like phishing attacks and server-side vulnerabilities. By moving entirely to a local-first architecture, KeepKey Vault mitigates these risks, offering a more secure environment for managing your digital assets. For a deeper dive into these changes, see our detailed comparison of Vault Desktop vs. KeepKey Desktop.
Secure by design. The architecture of KeepKey Vault ensures that all transaction signing occurs on the hardware device itself. This means your private keys are never exposed outside the secure confines of your KeepKey device.
Default to simplicity and security. By default, KeepKey Vault operates solely as a wallet interface, ensuring a straightforward and secure user experience. Advanced users, however, can opt-in to enable the API Bridge, which facilitates communication between your KeepKey and other applications. This feature is off by default to minimize unnecessary exposure. When enabled, it offers live audit logs and a human-in-the-loop signing review, ensuring you approve each transaction directly on the device.
