We’ve just expanded your wallet options—Keystore wallets are now supported on ShapeShift! Whether you’re coming from THORSwap, THORWallet, imToken, or MultiversX, you can now seamlessly import your Keystore file and manage your assets in a self-custodial, decentralized way.
What Is a Keystore Wallet?
A Keystore wallet is an encrypted file that securely stores your private key. It’s a widely used format in many crypto wallets, allowing users to back up and restore their access with a password. Unlike mnemonic phrases, which are easier to mishandle, Keystore files offer an additional layer of security—your private key stays encrypted unless unlocked with the correct password.
Why Use a Keystore Wallet?
Keystore wallets provide a solid balance between security and convenience. They are:
✅ Encrypted & Secure – Your private key isn’t exposed in plaintext.
✅ Easily Portable – Import and export your wallet across multiple platforms.
✅ Widely Supported – Used by major wallets like THORSwap, THORWallet, and imToken.
Now, with Keystore support in ShapeShift, you can take full advantage of our no-KYC, self-custodial, multi-chain wallet experience while keeping control of your assets.
