What is Trust Wallet?
Trust Wallet is a mobile cryptocurrency wallet that supports many blockchains and tokens. It offers a non-custodial wallet experience (you control private keys), built-in token swaps, Web3 dApp browser, and staking/earning features for selected assets.
Non-custodial: keys are stored locally on your device.
Integrated swap and DEX aggregator for token trades.
Access to Web3 dApps via the built-in browser.
Create or restore your wallet
Download Trust Wallet from the official app store listing (verify publisher).
Choose "Create a new wallet" or "I already have a wallet" to restore from a recovery phrase.
Write down the 12/24-word recovery phrase on paper or store it on metal backup—never store it in cloud storage or a screenshot.
Set a secure device lock (PIN/biometrics) and enable additional app-level passcodes if available.
Important: anyone with your recovery phrase can access your funds. Treat it like cash.
Swap & trade tokens
Use the built-in swap interface to exchange tokens. Trust Wallet typically uses DEX aggregators to find competitive rates but check gas fees and slippage settings before confirming.
Review estimated gas fees and total cost before confirming a swap.
Set slippage tolerance conservatively for volatile or low-liquidity tokens.
Use small test swaps with new tokens to confirm behavior.
Earn & stake
Trust Wallet supports staking and earning features for several blockchains. Understand the lock-up, rewards, and risk profile before delegating assets.
Check validator reputation and fees before staking.
Understand unstaking periods and potential slashing risks on some networks.
Consider diversifying staking across validators to reduce counterparty risk.
Security best practices
Keep your recovery phrase offline and never share it.
Enable device OS-level security (PIN/biometric) and app passcode where available.
Verify app updates from official stores and be cautious of clone apps.
Use small test transactions when interacting with new dApps or smart contracts.
Demo login (illustrative)
The following form is a local demo only. Do not submit real credentials here. For production, use secure authentication and never store secrets in local storage.
Demo forms should never be used to collect real credentials in production without proper backend validation and HTTPS transport.
Threats & limitations
Trust Wallet offers strong local key control but cannot protect against device compromise, phishing sites, or social engineering. Combine device security with cautious interactions.
Closing
Trust Wallet is a convenient non-custodial mobile wallet for managing, swapping, and earning crypto. Use it with strong operational security and proper backups to reduce risk.
