The short answer
One wallet, many networks
- What it is
- A self-custodial, open-source browser wallet from the team behind MyEtherWallet.
- Where it runs
- Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox, Opera and Safari, plus a Mac app.
- Networks
- Ethereum and EVM chains, Bitcoin, Solana, Polkadot and many more.
- Who holds the keys
- You do. Enkrypt does not hold custody of your assets.
Desktop, two ways
Use Enkrypt in the browser or on a Mac
Most people use the extension. A Mac desktop app also exists on the Mac App Store. Windows and Linux users are not missing a separate app: the extension is the supported desktop experience there.
Browser extension
Install from the official store, pin Enkrypt to your toolbar and use the same wallet on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS.
Mac desktop app
MyEtherWallet's Enkrypt app for Mac puts the wallet in its own window. It is listed on the Mac App Store, not as a Windows or Linux download.

What it does
Built for more than Ethereum
Enkrypt's main difference is native multichain support. You manage EVM and non-EVM assets from one interface, while each account still uses the address format and transaction rules of its network.

Ethereum, EVM L2s, Bitcoin, Solana, Polkadot and other integrated networks.

Self-custody

Recovery phrase rules, transaction checks and the scams that target browser-wallet users.
Open guideThe wallet is not the biggest risk. The shortcut is.
Most losses start with a fake download, a copied recovery phrase or a signature the user did not read. Slow those three moments down.
Read the security guide- Install only from Enkrypt.com, the browser stores or the Mac App Store.
- Never type your recovery phrase into a website, chat or support form.
- Check the network, recipient and fee in the wallet before approving.
- Use a hardware wallet for holdings you would not comfortably lose.
