Secure Your Crypto with Signer
A Safe and Convenient Solution for Tonkeeper Users
Just like the early pages of the history of online payments, or internet banking, the crypto space still poses risks of hacks and other fraudulent activity. According to the FBI, crypto users lost $5.6b due to hacks in 2023 alone. Storing your keys online poses the biggest threat since hackers can get access to them through phishing. Because of that, safety of your tokens is one of the biggest priorities when it comes to being a crypto enthusiast. That’s why we are very proud to present the next step in securing your assets: Signer.
What is Signer?
Signer is an app created by Tonkeeper team and designed to securely sign, or approve transactions. Even if you’re using a non-custodial wallet, your private keys needed for accessing your funds are usually stored in the same wallet. Signer, on the other hand, ensures that your private keys are never stored within the Tonkeeper app, adding an additional layer of security.
There are two ways you can use Signer: paired with the Tonkeeper app on the same device for easy access, or with a completely offline device for maximum security.
Convenience Mode: In this setup, you can pair Signer with the Tonkeeper wallet app on the same device. This makes it easy to sign transactions within the Tonkeeper interface. Just initiate a transaction, and you will be automatically redirected to the Signer app. One slide and your tokens are on their way. This method provides an additional layer of security since your keys are not stored inside your Tonkeeper app.
Maximum Security Mode: This mode involves using Signer on a completely offline device. Have an old phone lying around? Disconnect it from the internet, and it will do. When making a transaction on Tonkeeper, a QR code is generated on the main device, which can be scanned by the offline device to sign the transaction securely. This ensures that your private keys are physically isolated from any online threats. That way, your wallet can only be hacked if hackers gain physical access to your phone.
Is Signer Right for You?
Signer is the best option for any TON enthusiast looking to boost their security without sacrificing ease of use and spending a lot on a cold wallet. For those with large holdings, or if you’re simply concerned about the potential risks of keeping your private keys on an internet-connected device, Signer’s offline setup offers an additional level of protection. Using a second phone for Maximum Security Mode, for example, can be a great way to protect your crypto.
Some users can also use Signer for larger savings while keeping a smaller wallet for everyday transactions in the Tonkeeper app. This provides a balance between security and convenience.
Conclusion
Signer by Tonkeeper is a powerful tool for anyone looking to improve the security of their cryptocurrency. Whether you're looking for ease of use or maximum protection, Signer offers flexible options to suit your needs. By integrating seamlessly with your existing Tonkeeper wallet and providing two security modes, Signer helps keep your private keys offline and safe from online threats.
If you value security and are willing to take an extra step for peace of mind, Signer could be the perfect solution to better protect your tokens.
