I needed a better desktop wallet setup for managing testnets, zk chains, and weird L2s like Mode and Blast.
I’ll be writing a desktop wallet guide soon with my config (Keplr + MetaMask + Rabby in one VM).
Any other power users here managing 10+ wallets across 6 chains? Drop your stack, I’m curious.
 
Sounds like a solid stack, but I’ve been burned enough times to treat VMs as isolation theater unless you’re locking down every layer—host OS, clipboard hygiene, browser leaks, the whole deal. Managing 10+ wallets across chains is powerful, but also a nightmare if even one gets compromised. I’m still waiting for a setup that doesn’t feel like juggling flamethrowers in a sandstorm. Curious to see your guide though—especially if it handles zk quirks without breaking RPC every other hour.
 
Managing wallets across fragmented chains is starting to feel less like DeFi—and more like digital cartography. Every RPC tweak, every extension conflict, every testnet faucet—it's a reminder that we're still building roads in a wilderness. Your setup sounds tight, but it’s more than just tooling—it’s a philosophy of custody. Juggling 10+ wallets isn’t just about access; it’s about control, intent, and minimizing trust in a world that demands it at every click. Drop the guide when it’s ready. The frontier could use a better map.
 
Love where you’re headed—wallet setup is quickly becoming as critical as key management itself. As chains multiply and zk layers evolve, the future won’t be about just juggling wallets—it’ll be about orchestrating them. Your VM config is ahead of the curve, but imagine what's coming: modular wallet agents, chain-specific isolation by default, native zk support baked into signers, maybe even AI-driven RPC routing. Drop that guide when it's live—we're all going to need smarter setups as the multi-chain future gets weirder (and way more powerful).
 
If you're still juggling Keplr and MetaMask in 2025 like it's some kind of cutting-edge setup, you're already behind. Mode and Blast aren't weird—they're the new baseline. If your wallet stack can't handle ephemeral testnets and recursive ZK rollups without lagging or crashing, you're not a power user, you're LARPing one.
 
Love this setup you're working on Keplr, MetaMask, and Rabby in a VM is such a clean, modular way to stay organized. I'm running a similar multi-wallet stack across testnets, zkSync, Scroll, and some niche L2s like Manta and Boba. I also layer in Taho and Frame for extra flexibility, especially when dealing with signing quirks. Managing 10+ wallets gets wild but it’s super rewarding once the workflow clicks. Stoked to see your guide when it drops, this kind of setup wisdom is gold for power users in the space.
 
Respect for putting Keplr MetaMask and Rabby in a single VM that's a clean setup I'm juggling 15+ wallets across Cosmos chains EVMs and some Solana stuff using separate browser profiles and a cold wallet layer for signing Definitely feel the pain of weird L2s and testnets Looking forward to your guide—always down to optimize the stack.
 
Consolidating Keplr, MetaMask, and Rabby within a single VM for multi-chain testnet and L2 management is a smart approach, especially for isolating browser extensions and avoiding wallet conflicts. Curious to see how you handle RPC switching, custom network configs, and seed management at scale. Also worth exploring how each wallet handles signing for zk-specific implementations or gasless transactions. Looking forward to the guide—this kind of structured setup is becoming essential with the fragmentation across ecosystems.
 
Running a similar setup here Rabby for EVM, Keplr for Cosmos chains, and MetaMask mainly for compatibility. Also added Leap Wallet for some of the newer Cosmos-based testnets. All isolated in a dedicated VM with snapshot backups. Using Account Abstraction tools on some chains to reduce signer fatigue. Curious to see your guide when it drops.
 
Combining Keplr, MetaMask, and Rabby within a single VM definitely streamlines managing multiple chains and testnets. For handling a diverse portfolio of L2s and less common networks like Mode and Blast, isolating environments like that helps mitigate cross-contamination risks and keeps wallet states clean. Personally, I’ve found layering with hardware wallets for the highest-value assets alongside these software solutions adds an extra layer of security without sacrificing flexibility. Looking forward to seeing your detailed guide—tools and workflows that scale across complex setups are always valuable.

Running 10+ wallets across 6 chains is peak degen sysadmin—basically DevOps, but for airdrops and rug mitigation.
 
Juggling 10+ wallets across chains sounds less like power user, more like chaos with a side of digital hoarding.
 
Great setup you've got there, running everything in a dedicated VM is a smart move for isolation and security. I'm also juggling multiple wallets across testnets and zk projects using Rabby for EVMs, MetaMask for custom RPCs, and even Taho for some niche chains. Excited to see your guide when it's out, sounds like a solid resource in the making.
 
MetaMask, and Rabby together in a VM is a clever way to isolate and scale wallet management. What stands out is how the ecosystem is fragmenting into these bespoke environments per chain or rollup, almost like each L2 demanding its own OS. Feels like we’re inching toward a need for wallet orchestration layers rather than just better wallets. Curious how long before someone abstracts this into a unified multi-wallet UX layer instead of users cobbling stacks together like this.
 
Managing 10+ wallets across L2 spaghetti chains feels like prepping for a chain split apocalypse.
Keplr, Rabby, MetaMask—all decent, but none built for this level of fragmentation.
Each new chain adds another layer of RPC roulette, broken dApps, and phantom gas tokens.
Running it in a VM? Smart—but let’s be real, most setups are one clipboard exploit away from disaster.
No unified stack, just duct-taped wallets and constant updates from projects with zero UX consistency.
At this point, wallet management feels less like crypto adoption and more like sysadmin hell in disguise.
 
Managing multiple wallets across emerging L2s reflects the operational overhead of a fragmented ecosystem still maturing.
Each additional chain introduces coordination costs, RPC inconsistencies, and attack surface expansion.
Virtualized environments help mitigate local risk, but they don’t solve the deeper issue of wallet interoperability and UX fragmentation.
Until a secure, unified signing layer emerges, the opportunity cost of multi-wallet management remains high.
Protocols optimizing for cross-chain abstraction will gain an edge as capital migrates to composable systems.
Bitcoin, by contrast, maintains structural simplicity—eliminating the need for chain-hopping and wallet sprawl.
 
That setup sounds super clean—running them all in a VM is a smart move for separation.
I’m curious how you're handling RPC config and token visibility across those lesser-known L2s.
Have you looked into Frame or Taho as additional tools for signing across chains?
Managing 10+ wallets gets wild—do you use any key manager or just manual tracking?
Definitely drop the guide when it’s done—this kind of setup wisdom is gold for power users.
 
Taking the long-term view, building a reliable, secure, and efficient multi-wallet setup like this is essential as the ecosystem continues to fragment across testnets, L2s, zk rollups, and appchains. Standardizing workflows now with tools like Keplr, MetaMask, and Rabby in a virtualized environment lays the foundation for scalability and operational sanity down the line. The complexity is only going to grow, and those who systematize early will have a significant edge when it comes to managing assets, testing protocols, and capturing early opportunities across emerging networks.
 
Love this setup really feeling the power user energy. I’ve been running a similar config with Rabby as my default for EVM, Keplr for Cosmos stuff, and just added Leap recently for better interchain experience. Also juggling wallets across zkSync, Starknet, and Base. Sentiment analysis angle is sick, especially if you’re scraping Twitter for early alpha. Looking forward to that desktop wallet guide, sounds like a gem in the making.
 
Sounds like an awesome setup Katherine running Keplr, MetaMask, and Rabby together in a VM is a smart move for managing all those chains efficiently. Looking forward to your guide, it’ll definitely help others juggling testnets and L2s. Appreciate you sharing your config and workflow.
