Why developers are switching from Turnkey to Openfort
Own your infrastructure, don't rent it
With embedded wallets, while Turnkey relies on TEEs, Openfort is built on OpenSigner, an open-source and self-hostable signing infrastructure. This guarantees you always have full access to your users' keys and data, eliminating vendor lock-in risks. You can even self-host the entire stack if your compliance needs change.
The right wallet abstractions
Openfort treats smart accounts as first-class citizens with native support for ERC-4337 and EIP-7702. This means offering granular permissions, invisible gas sponsorship, and transaction batching out of the box.
The complete wallet stack
Turnkey excels at low-level key infrastructure with policy engines and attestations around the TEE, making a great choice for projects that need full traceability and compliance around the key management. Openfort offers a well-rounded solution for the 90% of use cases and helps abstracting the transaction orchestration, gas sponsorship, and user interface with familiar developer tools.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can't find your answer?
Openfort is a complete wallet stack including smart accounts, paymasters, and UI orchestration, whereas Turnkey (founded by the Coinbase Custody team) is primarily low-level key infrastructure with TEE-based signing. Turnkey offers 50-100ms signing latency but requires you to build the "rest of the wallet" yourself. Openfort helps you ship faster by handling smart accounts, gas sponsorship, and policy engines out of the box.
Turnkey delivers sub-100ms signing latency (50-100x faster than traditional MPC) with 99.9% uptime. However, you still need to build smart accounts, gas sponsorship, and UI on top. Openfort provides these as native features.
Yes! You can start for free with our developer tier. No credit card required to start building and testing on testnets.

We offer multiple signer options including our open-source OpenSigner (MPC), or we can orchestrate keys from other providers like Turnkey, Fireblocks, or your own custom auth. This flexibility means you can use Turnkey as a signer while gaining Openfort's smart account features.
Yes. You can keep using Turnkey as the underlying signer and layer Openfort's smart account infrastructure on top to get gas sponsorship and session keys. Or migrate fully to OpenSigner for complete open-source sovereignty.
We offer dedicated support channels for customers, along with comprehensive documentation and a community Telegram group.
