Introduction

As more and more people use cryptocurrencies and decentralized applications (DApps), it has become increasingly important to have an easy way to access them. Whether you're interested in investing, payments, or DApps, having multiple solutions for each activity can quickly become overwhelming.

That’s where an easy-to-use, all-in-one solution comes in: Trust Wallet. As part of the Binance ecosystem, Trust Wallet is a great solution for Binance users. It is also one of the most popular cryptocurrency wallets, with over 70 million downloads.

What is Trust Wallet?

Trust Wallet is a non-custodial wallet, meaning users are responsible for safekeeping and managing their mnemonic phrases and private keys. As a multi-blockchain crypto wallet, Trust Wallet gives you access to multiple networks in a single app, making it easier to explore Web3 platforms and DApps.

Trust Wallet was launched in November 2017 by Viktor Radchenko and immediately built a large user base. Binance purchased Trust Wallet in 2018 and Eowyn Chen, former Binance VP of Marketing, took over as CEO in early 2021.

Trust Wallet acts as a secure, open-source and decentralized crypto wallet. You can use it on your mobile device or browser to access:

  • Millions of Ethereum-based, EVM-enabled tokens;

  • 100+ blockchain networks;

  • Over 10 million assets including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), BNB and Tether (USDT);

  • Over 600 million NFTs.

What can you do with Trust Wallet?

Trust Wallet supports over 70 blockchains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Solana and more. Besides purchasing, storing and transferring cryptoassets, you can also use Trust Wallet to swap tokens, play games, earn rewards and discover the world of non-fungible tokens (NFTs). Another key feature for Trust Wallet users is its built-in DApp browser.

Trust Wallet DApp Browser

Integrated with Trust Wallet is its Web3 DApp browser. This allows you to interact and access DApps and DeFi platforms without leaving the Trust Wallet app. You can use a variety of DApps, including OpenSea, PancakeSwap, 1inch, and Uniswap.

Staking

There are several staking options like BNB, Polkadot (DOT), Cosmos (ATOM) and much more. Your actual returns will depend on the validators and staking possibilities currently available. Others will be added later.

Swap et trade

Users can swap tokens in the Trust Wallet app. There are millions of cryptocurrency pairs available for trading. Swaps are easy to perform and Trust Wallet charges no fees. Please note, however, that you will have to pay fees charged by third-party liquidity providers, such as 1inch, Uniswap and others. Trust Wallet automatically selects the provider that offers the best rates.

Buying cryptos

Trust Wallet allows users to purchase cryptocurrencies using fiat currencies with multiple on-ramp providers (fiat currency channels). You can buy cryptocurrencies directly in the Trust Wallet app. It is worth noting that you can get reduced fees by holding Trust Wallet Tokens (TWT) in your wallet.

Where can I download Trust Wallet?

Trust Wallet is available as a mobile app (iOS and Android) and a desktop browser extension. You can access the official download links on the Trust Wallet website. Always confirm that you are using the official website when downloading a crypto wallet or crypto exchange app.

How to configure and connect Trust Wallet to BSC?

As soon as you download and install Trust Wallet, you will find all the instructions needed to set it up. The process is quite simple and should take less than a minute. But if you want a tutorial on how to set up Trust Wallet and connect it to BSC, we recommend the following guide: Connect Trust Wallet to BNB Smart Chain (BSC).

What is Trust Wallet Token (TWT)?

The Trust Wallet Token (TWT) is a governance token that allows users to participate in the wallet decision-making process. TWT holders vote and propose key features, updates, and other changes to the app. The TWT token has a maximum supply of 1,000,000,000 TWT and exists as a BEP-20 token on BNB Smart Chain and as a BEP-2 token on BNB Beacon Chain.

TWT holders can also benefit from discounts on DEX services and cryptocurrency purchases. You can purchase Trust Wallet Tokens on Binance or earn them through marketing campaigns, giveaways, and airdrops held by the Trust Wallet team.

Is Trust Wallet safe?

Yes. Trust Wallet is part of the Binance ecosystem and implements the best security protocols. Trust Wallet has been independently audited by several industry leaders, including CertiK, Halborn and Kudelski Security.

Trust Wallet does not track any personal information, such as balances or IP addresses. Additionally, users have full control over their private keys and recovery phrases. The wallet also offers built-in risk monitoring tools to alert users and help protect their assets from possible scams or risky transactions.

However, it is important to consider the risks of holding your own keys. You risk losing your funds if your mnemonic phrase is lost or compromised. You should also remain vigilant when navigating the DeFi and Web3 space. Connecting your Trust Wallet to malicious websites can also lead to hacks and financial losses. Make sure you only interact with reputable platforms and always verify the URL to avoid phishing scams.

Conclusion

Trust Wallet is a versatile product available to HODLers, users interacting with decentralized finance (DeFi) dApps, or those looking to purchase cryptocurrencies. Much of the adoption of cryptocurrencies relies on providing simple, turnkey solutions, which is what Trust Wallet offers.
