Installation

How to install Keon Wallet on Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Android

Keon runs as a browser extension on Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, and as a native Android app. The download links live on the Keon website.

Chrome and Brave

  1. Open the Keon website and click the Chrome download button.
  2. If you grabbed a .zip, extract it somewhere you will not delete by accident.
  3. Visit chrome://extensions in your browser.
  4. Turn on Developer mode in the top right.
  5. Click Load unpacked and pick the extracted folder.

Pin the Keon icon to your toolbar so you can open it with one click.

Firefox

  1. Download the Firefox build from the website.
  2. Open about:debugging in Firefox.
  3. Click This Firefox in the sidebar.
  4. Click Load Temporary Add-on and pick the manifest.json from the extracted folder.

Heads up: Firefox temporary add-ons disappear when you close the browser. The signed Add-on Store version is the long-term answer.

Safari

Safari needs an extra step because of how Apple ships extensions. The download includes an Xcode project that wraps the extension into a Safari App Extension. Open the project in Xcode, run it once, and Keon will show up in Safari's extension settings.

Android

  1. Download the latest APK from the website (or grab it from the Play Store if you are reading this after launch).
  2. Allow installs from unknown sources if your device asks.
  3. Open the APK and follow the prompts.

The Android app gives you the same wallet, plus an in-app browser for opening dApps. Connections happen through WalletConnect under the hood, so the dApp does not need to know it is talking to a mobile app.

First time opening Keon

Whichever platform you pick, the first launch drops you into onboarding. You can:

  • Create a new wallet (Keon generates a seed phrase you must write down)
  • Import an existing wallet from a seed phrase
  • Restore an encrypted backup from Google Drive

After onboarding you land on the dashboard. From here, Wallet Basics is the next step.
