Keep Network (ticker: KEEP) is a privacy-focused protocol built on top of Ethereum that lets smart contracts work with private data without exposing it on a public blockchain. Its key building block is the 'keep' — an off-chain container where sensitive information is encrypted and managed by a randomly selected group of independent operators. The KEEP token is staked by these operators as collateral and rewards them for keeping the privacy infrastructure running.
Frequently asked questions
What is Keep Network, and how is it different from other privacy projects?
Unlike privacy coins that hide transaction details on their own blockchains, Keep is an off-chain privacy layer for existing smart contract platforms such as Ethereum. It doesn't run a separate chain — private data is stored and processed in 'keeps,' encrypted containers operated by independent stakers. This lets decentralized apps use sensitive information without ever writing it to a public ledger.
How does Keep Network's technology and consensus work?
Keep doesn't rely on mining or its own consensus mechanism; it uses Ethereum for final settlement. At its core is a random beacon that unpredictably selects groups of stakers to operate each keep, where data is protected through secure multi-party computation (sMPC). Operators lock up KEEP as collateral, which can be slashed if they fail to behave honestly.
How is KEEP emission structured?
KEEP has a hard cap of 1,000,000,000 coins, meaning the total supply can never exceed one billion tokens. New coins entered circulation through the network's reward and incentive mechanisms rather than proof-of-work mining. Because the cap is enforced by the token's smart contract, the supply cannot be inflated beyond this fixed limit.
How can I store and use KEEP tokens?
KEEP is an ERC-20 token, so it works with any Ethereum-compatible wallet, including MetaMask, Trust Wallet, and hardware wallets like Ledger or Trezor. Beyond simply holding it, KEEP can be staked by operators who run keeps and the random beacon, earning fees for providing privacy services. Always verify the official contract address before adding the token to your wallet.
