Rabby Wallet extension: a smoother way to move across EVM chains

The Rabby Wallet extension is a self-custody browser wallet for Ethereum and the EVM ecosystem. Instead of juggling one network at a time, it detects the chain a page actually needs, previews what a signature will do to your balance, and keeps every key encrypted on your own device.

Built for everyday DeFi, not just storage

Most wallets were designed to hold coins and sign the occasional transfer. A DeFi routine looks nothing like that: swaps, bridges, lending pools, NFT mints and perpetuals, spread over a dozen chains. The Rabby Wallet extension was shaped around that reality. Balances refresh without manual network switching, gas is estimated before you commit, and the interface tells you what changed after a transaction lands.

It also stays quiet when it should. Sites connect only after you approve them, permissions can be revoked at any time, and a hardware wallet can be paired if you prefer to keep keys fully offline.

What makes this wallet extension different

Four ideas do most of the work.

Multi-chain by default

Assets from supported networks appear together, so you are not reloading a dApp every time you switch chains.

Balance preview

Before you approve, you see the incoming and outgoing change: what leaves, what arrives, and what it costs.

Risk scanning

Contracts and signatures are checked first, and a plain warning appears when something looks like a known drain or scam pattern.

Open source

The build is public and readable, so security researchers can audit how keys are handled, not just take the promise.

One wallet, many networks

Ethereum sits at the centre, with the networks most people actually transact on right beside it. Chain switching usually happens on its own once you allow it.

Set up the extension in three steps

  1. 1

    Install

    Add it from the Chrome Web Store, then pin the icon so it is one click away while you browse.

  2. 2

    Create or import

    Start a fresh wallet, or bring an existing seed phrase in. Write the recovery phrase down offline and never type it into a chat, email or website.

  3. 3

    Connect and confirm

    Approve the sites you trust, then read each preview before signing. Unused connections can be revoked whenever you like.

Always install from the links on the official site below. A copy of a wallet extension from anywhere else is the single most common way crypto is stolen.

Questions people ask first

Is the Rabby Wallet extension free to use?

The extension itself costs nothing to install. You only pay normal network fees when a transaction is broadcast, plus any swap or bridge fee the service you use charges.

Can I keep using my current wallet?

Yes. Wallets are not exclusive. You can import the same recovery phrase into the Rabby Wallet extension, or keep it alongside another wallet and connect whichever one suits the task.

What happens if the extension is removed?

Funds live on-chain, not inside the extension. Reinstalling and restoring from your recovery phrase brings the same accounts back, provided the phrase was stored safely offline.

Is it available on phones?

There is a mobile app for iOS and Android matching the desktop extension. Both can share one seed phrase, which makes switching devices a restore rather than a migration.

Ready to try it?

Install from the official listing, keep your recovery phrase offline, and start small before you move size.
