Rabby is free to download and use — you only pay network (gas) fees when you transact.

What happens if I lose my Rabby?

General information only — not financial advice. Prices are approximate (many makers publish USD only) and change frequently; verify current pricing with the maker. Self-custody wallets put you in full control of your keys and your risk.
