Trust Wallet Extension – Enhance Your Crypto Experience

Overview

Trust Wallet's browser extension brings a self-custody crypto wallet directly into your desktop browser, enabling you to interact with decentralized applications (dApps), manage tokens and NFTs, and sign transactions securely without leaving the page. It is designed as a companion to the Trust Wallet mobile app, simplifying the bridge between desktop Web3 experiences and your existing wallet keys.

Why use a browser extension?

Browser extensions reduce friction when using Web3: they let you sign transactions, connect to dApps, and manage assets without exporting keys or using external tools. For power users, extensions also offer quick access to custom RPCs, token imports, and cross-wallet imports (e.g., MetaMask import).

Key Features

Multi-chain support

The extension supports dozens of blockchains and thousands of tokens — giving access to DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and Web3 games directly in-browser.

Self-custody & local key encryption

Your private keys stay encrypted on your device. The extension uses password-protected login and local encryption to protect keys from casual access while ensuring you remain the sole custodian of your assets.

Seamless mobile ↔ desktop workflow

Import or export wallets between Trust Wallet mobile and the browser extension to move smoothly between phone and desktop flows, without creating new keys.

Getting Started — Setup Steps

1. Download from an official source

Always install the extension from the official Trust Wallet website or the verified browser store listing. Avoid third-party downloads and social media links that may lead to impersonator extensions.

2. Create or import a wallet

During first run you can create a new wallet (generate a new recovery phrase) or import an existing wallet using a recovery phrase/private key. If creating a new wallet, write your seed phrase down on paper and store it offline — never share it.

3. Secure your setup

Use a strong, unique password for the extension, enable hardware-wallet integrations where available, and review extension permissions regularly.

Best Practices & Safety

Keep your recovery phrase offline

Never enter your recovery phrase on websites or in any apps that are not official. Back up phrases on physical media (paper, metal) rather than screenshots or cloud notes.

Validate extension identity

Check the developer/publisher name, number of reviews, and the official download link from Trust Wallet’s website before installation. Remove unused extensions and use the browser’s extension permissions UI to limit access.

Beware of phishing

Phishing sites can mimic dApps and wallets. Verify URLs, use bookmarks for frequent dApps, and follow Trust Wallet’s official social channels for security announcements.

Use Cases & Tips

Trading and DeFi

Use the extension to approve token swaps, yield-farming deposits, and governance actions. Double-check gas fees and contract addresses before signing transactions.

NFTs and marketplaces

Manage and view NFTs across supported chains. When approving marketplace contracts, use minimal allowance approvals or revoke allowances after trades for improved safety.

Tip: gas and approvals

When possible, set sensible gas limits and monitor pending transactions. Consider using on-chain explorers to verify contract addresses if unsure.

Troubleshooting & Support

Common issues

If tokens or NFTs aren't visible, add the token contract manually or switch networks. For transaction failures, confirm the network, nonce, and the destination address.
