# Keplr Wallet

The Keplr browser extension is a wallet for accessing some Jackal applications in the Cosmos ecosystem. Keplr can be used to exchange/manage JKL and other Cosmos based tokens, participate in governance from the Jackal Dashboard, and use Jackal Storage without privacy.

To use Jackal applications with a high privacy and security posture, create a new Jackal Wallet or import private keys into a Jackal Wallet.

- via a mnemonic/seed phrase/private key.
- via ledger.

3. Make sure you have imported the account with the correct derivation path, viewable by clicking on Advanced.

   - Normally, the derivation path should be m/44'/…’/0/0/0, but if you see that importing the account via mnemonic on Keplr, the Cosmos Mainnet address displayed is different than yours, it is possible the derivation path ends with 1 (or another number) instead of 0.
