Keplr Wallet Guide Setup Steps Common Issues and Solutions

Install the browser extension from the official Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons portal. Before interacting, verify the extension's developer details and review count to confirm its authenticity. Immediately after adding it, pin the extension to your browser's toolbar for instant access.


Generating a new seed phrase creates twelve or twenty-four unique words. Write this sequence on physical paper; digital screenshots or text files are vulnerable. This phrase is the absolute authority for fund recovery and account generation. Store multiple copies in secure, separate locations.


Fund the vault by selecting a network like Cosmos or Osmosis. Copy the deposit address from the asset interface. Use a centralized exchange or a separate, funded vault to transfer a small amount first, confirming receipt before larger transactions. Always verify the first and last five characters of any address.


Interacting with a decentralized application requires explicit connection approval. Navigate to the dApp's site and click its connect button; a prompt will appear seeking permission to link. Review the permissions requested. Each network operates independently–connecting to Juno does not automatically link your Osmosis profile.


If a dApp fails to detect your profile, first refresh the webpage. Then, check the extension's network permissions for that specific site via its settings. A hard browser reload (Ctrl+Shift+R) often clears persistent connection errors. Ensure the dApp supports the specific chain you're attempting to use.


For transaction failures, note the error code. "Out of gas" means increasing the gas multiplier to 1.2 or higher. "Request rejected" signifies a user-cancelled action. "Account sequence mismatch" is typically resolved by waiting a moment and retrying. Persistent "Broadcasting error" messages may indicate network congestion.


Should the interface display an incorrect balance, the primary fix is manually refreshing your browser. If the discrepancy continues, use the extension's settings to disconnect from active dApps, then reconnect. Cross-check your public address on a block explorer like Mintscan for the definitive, on-chain state of your holdings.



Keplr Wallet Setup, Usage and Troubleshooting Guide

Install the browser extension only from the official Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons site to avoid malicious clones.


After adding the extension, you will be prompted to create a new mnemonic phrase or import an existing one; write down the 12 or 24-word seed on physical paper, never digitally, as this phrase is the absolute key to recovering your assets across any compatible interface.


Fund management begins with connecting the extension to a dApp; this usually requires clicking a "Connect" button on the site and authorizing the specific address from the pop-up window, where you must verify the site's URL matches the intended application to prevent phishing.


For transaction failures, first check the chain's block explorer using your public address to confirm network status and gas fees; insufficient gas is a common culprit, so manually increasing the "gas limit" by 20-30% often resolves "out of gas" errors for complex smart contract interactions.


If your balance appears incorrect or a recent transaction is missing, manually refresh your nonce by sending a tiny amount of the native token (like ATOM) to yourself, which can resync your account data with the network.


Clear the browser's cache and site data for the problematic dApp, then re-establish the connection, ensuring you grant the necessary permissions when the extension requests them.



Installing the Keplr Extension and Creating Your First Wallet

Navigate directly to the Chrome Web Store or your browser's official add-on marketplace.


Search for the application by name, verify the developer is listed as 'chainapsis', and click 'Add to Browser'. Confirm the permissions prompt; this grants the tool necessary functionality for blockchain interaction.





Click the newly added icon in your toolbar.


Select 'Create New Account'.


You will generate a unique, 12 or 24-word secret recovery phrase.





This mnemonic phrase is the absolute master key to your assets and identity on-chain. Write each word in its exact order on physical paper. Digital storage–screenshots, text files, cloud notes–creates severe vulnerability. Store the paper securely, separate from your computer.


After confirming your phrase, establish a strong password. This encrypts the local data on your device, a necessary secondary defense for daily access.


Your vault is now active. The interface displays a primary Cosmos Hub address, beginning with 'cosmos1...'. This string is your public receiving identifier. Explore the asset list; you can add new networks manually via the 'Manage Chain Connections' menu.


Never input your secret phrase on any website. The extension itself will prompt for it only during restoration on a new device. For initial funding, transfer a minimal amount of ATOM or another supported native token to your public address to confirm everything operates correctly before larger deposits.



Q&A:


I downloaded Keplr but the extension icon is gray and won't open. What should I do?

This is a common first-step issue. Usually, it means the extension is installed but not yet initialized. Click the gray Keplr icon in your browser's toolbar. A new tab should open, prompting you to either create a new wallet or import an existing one. If clicking does nothing, try pinning the extension. In Chrome, click the puzzle piece icon, find Keplr, and click the pin symbol. If it's still unresponsive, restart your browser completely.



What's the difference between a seed phrase and a Keplr password, and which one do I absolutely need to save?

Your seed phrase (12 or 24 words) is the master key to your wallet. It generates all your account addresses. If you lose this, you lose access to your assets permanently. Your Keplr password only encrypts the wallet data on that specific browser and device. You need the password to use the extension on that device, but you cannot recover a wallet with just the password. Write your seed phrase on paper, store it securely offline, and never share it. You can change your password, but you can never change your seed phrase.



I'm trying to stake ATOM. I've delegated, but now my tokens show as "bonded" and I don't see rewards. Is this normal?

Yes, this is expected behavior. When you delegate tokens to a validator, they move from a "liquid" state to a "bonded" state. Rewards are not distributed instantly or continuously. Most Cosmos chains have reward distribution periods, often when a block is proposed. It can take 24-48 hours to see the first rewards appear in your "Claimable Rewards" section. Also, check if you selected an active validator with 100% commission, as this would mean you receive no rewards. You can claim accrued rewards manually in the "Stake" section.



Can I use my Keplr wallet on my mobile phone and my laptop at the same time?

You can access the same wallet from multiple devices, but not by installing the extension and entering your password. The extension stores encrypted data locally. To use the same account on a new device, you must use the "Import an existing wallet" feature during setup. You will need your original seed phrase. After importing, you can set a new password for that specific device. Your assets and transactions will sync because they are on the blockchain, not inside the extension.



A dApp is asking to connect my Keplr Wallet dApp wallet, but the connection pop-up isn't appearing. How do I fix this?

Several factors can cause this. First, ensure you are on the official website of the dApp. Check if your Keplr is unlocked. If unlocked, try refreshing the dApp page. Sometimes, browser cache interferes; a hard refresh (Ctrl+F5 or Cmd+Shift+R) can help. Ensure you haven't previously denied the connection request for that site. You can manage site permissions by clicking the Keplr icon, going to settings (the gear icon), and selecting "Manage Connection Access" to clear or modify permissions for the specific site.
