# A goto cosmos wallet. | ||
|
||
Keplr is one of the widely used wallets in the cosmos ecosystem. It's non-costodial, means no-one from the team, community can have access to your funds. | ||

# Before you start | ||
|
||
- Keplr extension is officially supported only on Chrome. | ||
- It can also be used on Brave, but some features may be unavailable. | ||

- Pay attention to the websites you connect your Keplr wallet to and only download Keplr from the official website or from the link you can find in this tutorial. The same principle applies to any other wallet. | ||
