Why choose Trust Wallet?

Key Features
- Non-custodial: you control your private keys.
- Multi-chain support: Ethereum, BNB Chain, and many EVM-compatible chains.
- Built-in dApp browser (extension & mobile compatibility).
- Open-source components for transparency.
Install & Setup (Extension)
Step 1 — Download
Always download browser extensions from official stores or the project's official website. Click the official link below to find the extension on the Chrome Web Store or Firefox Add-ons. Avoid third‑party sources that might host malicious copies.
Step 2 — Create or Import Wallet
When the extension is installed, you will be prompted to create a new wallet or import an existing one using a recovery phrase. If creating a new wallet, write down the 12‑word or 24‑word recovery phrase and store it offline in a safe place.
Security tips
- Never share your recovery phrase; Trust Wallet support will never ask for it.
- Consider hardware wallets for large balances.
- Check extension permissions during install and verify the publisher name in the store.
Using the Extension
Once set up, you can connect the extension to Web3 sites to sign transactions. Always verify transaction details — recipient addresses, amounts, and gas fees — before approving.
Advanced: Developer & Integration
Developers can integrate with Trust Wallet via standard Web3 methods. Official repositories and API docs provide code samples and security guidance for dApp integration.
