Hold, swap and stake across networks from a single secure app, on Temple Extension and mobile.
A Simple 3-Step Guide to Activating Rewards and Earning $TKEY
Install the Temple Wallet browser extension. Create a new wallet or import an existing one. Complete the wallet setup and secure your wallet credentials. Make sure the wallet is ready for receiving rewards.
Open your Temple Wallet extension. Go to Settings → Advanced Features → Advertising. Turn on the advertising/reward feature. This enables Temple's advertising-based TKEY rewards.
Continue browsing normally with Temple Wallet enabled. Eligible advertisements can generate TKEY rewards. Rewards accumulate automatically when you participate. No need to manually claim each individual reward.
Rewards are distributed according to Temple's reward schedule. Keep the relevant reward features enabled to continue earning. Temple may also offer other earning opportunities, such as swap cashback and supported staking/delegation activities. Monitor your wallet to keep track of your accumulated TKEY.
Temple Wallet provides a straightforward way to manage XTZ delegation and staking directly from the wallet interface. The process can be divided into three simple stages: choose a supported baker, stake your delegated XTZ, and request an unstake when you want to exit your staking position.
Start StakingOpen Temple Wallet and select your XTZ/TEZ tokens. Select the Delegate & Stake tab. Click Delegate & Stake. Choose a baker that supports staking, or enter its address/domain. Click Delegate and confirm the transaction. Wait for the blockchain confirmation.
Open your delegated XTZ in Temple Wallet. Go to Delegate & Stake. Select Stake TEZ. Enter the amount of XTZ you want to stake. Click Stake and confirm the transaction. Wait for the transaction to be confirmed.
Open the XTZ tokens you currently have staked. Go to the Delegate & Stake section. Click Manage. Select Request Unstake. Enter the amount you want to unstake. Click Unstake and confirm the transaction. Wait for the request to be confirmed.

Temple Wallet is a non custodial browser extension built by MadFish Solutions, the same team behind QuipuSwap, one of the biggest DEXs on Tezos. The Tezos Foundation put a grant behind the early build. It shipped in 2020 as a Tezos only product and quietly crossed 300000 installations while never touching a second chain.
Then mid 2025 happened. MadFish rolled out version 2.0, which they called the beginning of a new chapter in their blog. Temple Wallet Extension went from a Tezos portal to a full multichain wallet in a single update. Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Optimism, Arbitrum, Base, Etherlink, Rootstock and over 90 other EVM networks were added. All accessible from the same seed phrase and the same interface you were already using for XTZ.
If you hold Tezos, this is the obvious choice. No other wallet comes close for the Tezos ecosystem. Baker delegation is built in, meaning you earn staking rewards without visiting a separate site. Tezos dApps connect through the wallet directly. XTZ swaps use 3route, which finds the best rates across QuipuSwap, Plenty, and other Tezos DEXs automatically.
If you hold Tezos and EVM tokens, Temple Wallet is the only wallet that does both well. The August 2026 changelog shows active development on both sides, adding token insights on X and faster block explorer routing in the same release.
If you only hold EVM tokens and have no Tezos at all, it can work, but MetaMask or Rabby are more battle tested for a pure EVM setup.
The TKEY angle is worth mentioning too. TKEY is the native token of Temple Wallet, launched in May 2023 as the first wallet token on Tezos. Every swap inside the extension gives you 0.175% of the swapped amount back as TKEY cashback automatically. No opt-in, no claiming. It just lands. Their blog also mentions a Temple Deals program paying cashback in USDT from over 10,000 shopping partners. Getting paid to use a wallet and shop is not something you see every day.
You open the extension and see your total portfolio balance across all chains in one number. Not separate Tezos balance over here and Ethereum balance over there. One combined figure.
From that main screen, you can swap, send, receive, stake, or connect to a dApp. The dApps section got a proper redesign in 2025, now a searchable hub across DeFi, NFTs, and GameFi on Tezos. EVM dApps plug in the same way MetaMask users already know.
Cross-chain sends landed in the May 2026 update. Tezos to EVM, EVM to EVM, and EVM to Bitcoin are all handled through Exolix without ever leaving the extension. Previously, you needed a bridge site for that. Now it is one flow inside the extension.
The August 2026 update added in-feed token insights on X, meaning you can surface token information while you are scrolling Twitter without switching tabs. Niche, but useful if you are actively trading.
Temple Wallet Extension works on six browsers. Chrome, Brave, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, and Edge all have their own store listings. Six browsers. That is not a short list. Their download page at templewallet.com shows all six. That is more browser support than Phantom, Backpack, or MetaMask.
Wait!!! Are you on Safari? That one is not on the list. Mobile app only for Safari users.
Here is how to install Temple Wallet Extension on Chrome. Brave, Firefox, Opera, Vivaldi, and Edge follow the same steps.
Hurrah!!! You are in.
ATTENTION: Only use the official website templewallet.com to install the Temple Wallet extension or mobile app. Downloading wallet files from any other source is not recommended. This could be a scam. Stay alert.
Three things set this wallet apart on security.
First, it is fully open source. Go look at the code yourself. It is all there. Every line of code is publicly visible on GitHub under MadFish Solutions Temple Wallet Extension.
Second, Least Authority ran an independent audit on it. The full report is public and they link it right from the Chrome Web Store listing. Most wallets bury their security claims in a blog post. This one shows you the paperwork.
Third, it is non-custodial. MadFish Solutions cannot touch your funds. If the company shut down tomorrow, the wallet would still work as long as you have that seed phrase.
It is all disclosed, but a handful of Chrome reviews flag link injection and redirect behavior tied to those affiliate deals. Worth knowing before you install. Read their privacy policy if that is the kind of thing you care about.
Ledger is supported. Import your Ledger account and sign transactions from inside the wallet.
Their changelog gives a clear picture of where the development is focused.
The development pace is steady. Checked it two years ago and moved on? It is not that wallet anymore.
Install the extension or the mobile app, create a wallet and write down your recovery phrase.
