Why people move from TronLink to Locker Protocol Wallet
The key never touches the computer
Malware, a malicious extension or a drainer on the computer has nothing to steal: every signature happens on the offline device, after you have read the transaction there.
The dApps you already use
It answers the connect flows built for MetaMask, Keplr, TronLink and Freighter, and appears in the Wallet Standard list on Solana, Sui and Aptos, across nine chain families.
Every request checked twice
Rules and an on-device model flag risky approvals and phishing before you sign, in the browser and again on the device that holds the key.
Moving from TronLink in three steps
Install the extension
Add Locker Protocol Wallet to Chrome or Brave. It can sit next to TronLink while you move.
Set up the offline Vault
Install the free Locker Vault on a spare phone, keep it offline, and create a new recovery phrase there.
Send your funds across
Send from TronLink to your new addresses at your own pace, starting with a small amount.
TronLink vs Locker: questions people ask
Is Locker Protocol Wallet a good TronLink alternative?
It is if you want the key off the computer. Locker Protocol Wallet works with the dApps you already use, but every signature is approved on a separate offline device by QR code. If you mostly want one-click signing, TronLink stays faster.
Do dApps that support TronLink work with Locker Protocol Wallet?
Yes. The extension provides the TronLink interfaces Tron dApps call, only when TronLink itself is not installed, so sites such as SunSwap connect as they would with TronLink.
Can I import my TronLink recovery phrase?
You can, but we recommend the opposite: create a fresh recovery phrase on the offline device and move your funds to it. A phrase that has lived in a browser extension may already have been exposed.
Is Locker Protocol Wallet free?
Installing and holding is free, and so is the Locker Vault app. Swaps and bridges made from the extension add at most 0.25%, and Hyperliquid orders 0.05%, always shown before you sign.
