Enkrypt is a browser-extension wallet that supports both EVM and non-EVM networks. It is built by MyEtherWallet, the team behind one of Ethereum's longest-running wallet interfaces, and it is designed to keep several chains inside one wallet rather than treating Ethereum as the only network that matters.
The important idea is not the number of logos in the network list. It is that one recovery phrase can derive accounts across supported chains, while each account still follows its own network's address format and transaction rules. That makes Enkrypt appealing to someone who holds more than tokens on Ethereum, but it also means you need to pay attention to which network is selected before you send anything.
What Enkrypt is
Enkrypt is software that stores encrypted wallet data on your device and lets you approve transactions and connections without handing custody of your assets to a company. The wallet generates a recovery phrase, derives accounts from it, and signs locally. Enkrypt's own documentation describes it as self-custodial and open source.
It is not a bank account, exchange balance or custodial service. There is no company holding your coins on your behalf. That gives you more control, but it also removes the safety net: if you lose your recovery phrase and cannot unlock the wallet, no support agent can restore the funds for you.

Who makes Enkrypt?
Enkrypt is created and maintained by MyEtherWallet, Inc., commonly shortened to MEW. The company has been part of the Ethereum ecosystem since 2015. The Enkrypt codebase is public on GitHub, and the official site is enkrypt.com.
The name is also used by unrelated projects, which makes careful verification important. For this wallet, look for MyEtherWallet as the publisher in the browser store or Mac App Store. A search result, an advertisement or a lookalike domain is not enough.
Which networks does Enkrypt support?
Enkrypt's current product description lists 70+ natively integrated chains, with Ethereum, Solana, Polkadot, Avalanche, Bitcoin and major EVM layer-2 networks such as Base, Arbitrum and Optimism among the highlights. It also supports adding compatible EVM networks and custom tokens.
The exact list grows over time. Treat the official supported-chains section as the current source rather than relying on a screenshot or an article that may be several months old.
Desktop and browser extension
Enkrypt is primarily a browser extension. It is available for Chrome, Microsoft Edge, Brave, Firefox, Opera and Safari. On a desktop computer, that extension is the normal way to use the wallet.
MyEtherWallet also publishes an Enkrypt app for Mac on the Mac App Store, listed for macOS 12.3 or later. For Windows and Linux, the supported path is the extension rather than a separate native download. The desktop guide explains the difference in detail.
Desktop browsers
Chrome, Edge, Brave, Firefox, Opera and Safari on Windows, macOS, Linux and ChromeOS.
Mobile
Enkrypt's official help documentation says the wallet is not available on mobile. Avoid unofficial lookalike apps.
What you can do with it
- Hold and manage assets. View balances, add custom tokens and switch between networks.
- Send and receive. Copy or scan an address on the selected network and review the fee before confirming.
- Buy and sell through partners. Enkrypt links to third-party providers such as MoonPay, Simplex, Topper and Coinbase Onramp depending on availability.
- Swap and bridge. Enkrypt offers in-wallet swaps, including cross-chain routes where supported.
- Connect to dApps. Approve connections and transactions on supported web3 applications.
- Manage NFTs. View NFTs across supported chains in one place.
- Add hardware accounts. Connect a Ledger or Trezor so transaction approvals happen on the device.
- Create multiple accounts. Derive additional accounts from the same recovery phrase, or import external accounts with their own keys.
What it does not do
It does not remove network risk.
A multichain wallet does not make a token, bridge or dApp safe. You still approve what the network and contract ask for.
It does not recover your password.
The daily password only unlocks the local wallet. Restoration depends on the recovery phrase.
It does not make imported accounts portable automatically.
Accounts created by Enkrypt share the wallet's recovery phrase. Accounts imported by private key, keystore or hardware wallet keep their original keys.
It is not a native mobile wallet.
The official positioning is browser extension first, with a Mac app. Do not assume a phone app is genuine.
Who Enkrypt suits
Enkrypt makes the most sense if you use more than one blockchain and want a desktop-browser wallet that does not require a separate extension for Bitcoin, Solana or Polkadot. It is also a reasonable choice if you already trust MyEtherWallet's tooling and want an open-source option with hardware-wallet support.
If you only use Ethereum and want the broadest dApp compatibility and mobile integration, MetaMask remains the more common default. If you want a native Windows or Linux desktop application, Enkrypt does not currently offer one; the extension in a desktop browser is the supported equivalent.
