Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox, Opera and Safari, plus a Mac app.

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.

  2. Step 2

    Install and pin

    Add the extension and keep its icon visible in the toolbar.

  3. Step 3

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.

Read the full overview

Multichain accounts

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

One recovery phrase

Accounts derived by Enkrypt share one phrase across supported networks.

Self-custody

Keys are generated and encrypted locally; Enkrypt does not hold your assets.

Hardware wallet support

Add Ledger or Trezor accounts for an extra approval step on larger holdings.

dApps and NFTs

Connect to supported web3 apps and view NFTs across chains from the wallet.

Before you move real funds

The 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.
