What is Rabby® Wallet™?
Developed by the team at DeBank, Rabby is an open-source browser extension and mobile wallet designed specifically for the Ethereum Virtual Machine (EVM) ecosystem. As of 2026, it supports over 140+ blockchains, including Ethereum, Arbitrum, Optimism, Polygon, and emerging high-performance networks like Monad and Hyperliquid.
Unlike traditional wallets that treat every chain as a separate silo, Rabby offers a unified, "chain-agnostic" experience that eliminates the friction of manual network switching.
Key Features That Drive 2026 Rankings
1. Automatic Network Detection
One of Rabby’s most significant UX innovations is Auto-Switching. When you navigate to a dApp—for example, a DEX on Arbitrum—Rabby automatically detects the required network. You no longer need to manually toggle settings or worry about "wrong network" errors that plague other wallets.
2. Pre-Transaction Simulation
Security in 2026 is about Clear Signing. Before you authorize any transaction, Rabby runs a real-time simulation. It provides a human-readable breakdown showing:
- Balance Changes: Exactly which tokens are leaving and entering your wallet.
- Risk Alerts: Warnings if you are interacting with an unverified contract, a known scammer address, or if the transaction is likely to fail.
- Slippage & Impact: High-fidelity data on how much you might lose to market volatility during a swap.
3. The Rabby GasAccount
The GasAccount is a game-changer for multi-chain users. Instead of maintaining small amounts of native gas tokens (like , , or ) across dozens of chains, you can deposit or into a single GasAccount. Rabby then automatically handles the gas payments for you on any supported network.

Step-by-Step: Getting Started with Rabby®
Step 1: Secure Installation
Always download the extension from the official source at Rabby.io. In 2026, be wary of "sponsored" search results that may lead to phishing sites. Look for the developer verified as DeBank.
Step 2: Import or Create
- Migrating: You can import your 12 or 24-word seed phrase from MetaMask or Trust Wallet. Rabby will instantly display your entire multi-chain portfolio.
- Hardware First: For maximum security, connect your Ledger, Trezor, or OneKey. Rabby acts as a superior interface while your private keys remain safely offline on your hardware device.
Step 3: Enable Security Features
Navigate to settings and enable Passkey Protection. This allows you to lock your extension using your computer’s biometrics (TouchID or FaceID), providing a layer of security that traditional passwords cannot match.
