Security & Privacy
Security is central to Trust Wallet's design. It is a non-custodial wallet — meaning you are the only person who has access to your private keys and funds. The app uses securely generated mnemonic seed phrases, local key storage, and encourages users to create strong passcodes and keep backups safe and offline.
Key security features
- Mnemonic seed phrase (12 or 24 words) for wallet backup and recovery.
- Biometric unlock where supported (fingerprint/face).
- Transaction signing on-device — private keys never leave your phone.
- Open-source components and community audits (where applicable).
Best practices
Always write down your seed on paper (never digital), verify official Trust Wallet sources before installing, and keep software updated. Avoid sharing your seed phrase — Trust Wallet support will never ask for it.
Core Features
Multi-currency support
Trust Wallet supports a broad selection of tokens and blockchains. Whether you hold ERC‑20, BEP‑20, SPL tokens, or NFTs, the wallet displays and indexes your assets in one place.
Built-in Swap & DEX
Swap tokens directly inside the app using integrated aggregators and decentralized exchanges. This makes simple trades fast and removes the need to move funds to an exchange for small swaps.
dApp Browser & Web3
The dApp browser allows you to connect to decentralized apps — from games and marketplaces to DeFi protocols — while keeping private key control on your device.
NFT & Collectibles
View, send and receive NFTs from supported chains. Trust Wallet indexes common NFT metadata for convenient browsing.
Staking & Earning
Many networks offer native staking or yield options. Trust Wallet integrates staking flows for select blockchains so you can earn rewards directly through the wallet.
Getting Started — Quick Guide
1. Install & Setup
Download Trust Wallet from the official site or app store links below. When you open the app choose "Create a new wallet", write down the seed phrase, confirm it, and set a strong passcode.
2. Receiving & Sending
To receive, copy your address or show the QR code to the sender. To send, paste the recipient address, choose gas/fee options, review, and sign the transaction with your passcode or biometric unlock.
3. Using the dApp Browser
Open the dApp browser, select a dApp, and connect. Approve connection and transaction prompts carefully — always double-check contract permissions before approving.
4. Backup & Recovery
If you lose your device, restore your wallet using the seed phrase on any compatible wallet app. Keep the seed offline and never share it with anyone.
