Leap Wallet to Shut Down All Products on May 28

The non-custodial model keeps funds on-chain, letting users regain access by importing their recovery phrase into another app.

Overview

  • All Leap services will stop after the cutoff, including the browser extension, iOS and Android apps, Compass Wallet, the web app, SwapFast, Snaps, and the Leap Cosmos Hub validator.
  • Users should export their recovery phrase or private keys and import them into a compatible wallet such as Keplr, MetaMask, Phantom, or Rabby.
  • ATOM stakers delegating to Leap’s Cosmos Hub validator are urged to redelegate early to another validator to avoid a gap in rewards caused by the network’s unbonding period.
  • Installed apps will no longer work after May 28, yet funds remain retrievable at any time by importing the recovery phrase into another supported wallet, with a migration guide and support available until shutdown.
  • Founded in 2021, Leap expanded from its Terra roots to support 100+ networks after a $3.2 million raise in 2022, drawing public praise from Cosmos builders as it prepares to close.
