Trust Wallet

Trust Wallet (trustwallet.com) is one of the world's largest self-custodial multi-chain crypto wallets, with 200M+ cumulative downloads and a 4.7-star rating on the App Store / 4.6 on Google Play across 2.7M verified reviews (as of July 2026). Founded in 2017 by Viktor Radchenko and acquired by Binance the same year, Trust Wallet has grown into one of the most-downloaded crypto wallets in history — trusted by 200 million people across iOS and Android, with a desktop browser extension added later. Trust Wallet is operated as a separate product from the Binance exchange proper (independently operated, with its own engineering team), though it benefits from the Binance ecosystem's reach.

Trust Wallet's core positioning: "True crypto ownership. Powerful Web3 experiences." — a multi-chain self-custodial wallet built for mainstream users who want one wallet that supports the broadest possible set of blockchains. The headline metrics from Trust Wallet's homepage as of July 2026:

• 200M+ users
• Founded 2017
• Independently Audited (multiple third-party security audits)
• ISO Certified (ISO 27001 information security certification — a meaningful enterprise-grade security credential that very few crypto wallets hold)
• 4.7 / 4.6 star ratings (App Store / Google Play, 2.7M verified reviews)
• 100+ blockchains supported
• 10M+ assets supported
• 600M+ NFTs viewable in the wallet

Trust Wallet's platform span makes it the broadest single self-custodial wallet in this directory: from Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana, to Cosmos, Sui, and many more EVM + non-EVM chains. It's the wallet of choice for users who want maximum multi-chain coverage without managing multiple separate wallets (Keplr for Cosmos, Phantom for Solana, MetaMask for EVM, etc.). Trade-offs vs the leading alternatives: Trust Wallet is not as deep on any single ecosystem as the dedicated wallets (e.g., it doesn't have MetaMask's EVM DApp breadth or Phantom's Solana-first UX), but it has the broadest chain coverage and the biggest mobile user base of any self-custodial wallet.

Trust Wallet's product surface in 2026 includes: Buy / Sell / Swap (in-app fiat on-ramp + cross-DEX swaps), Earn (staking across multiple chains), the dApp Browser (in-app browser for connecting to web3 DApps), NFT collection management (600M+ NFTs), Trust Wallet Security Scanner (real-time risk alerts for transactions and DApp connections), Encrypted Cloud Backup (recover via encrypted cloud backup without revealing the seed phrase), and the Trust Wallet Developer Platform (developer.trustwallet.com — for building DApps and wallets natively on top of the Trust Wallet infrastructure).

Trust Wallet Mobile App (iOS + Android)

Trust Wallet's flagship product: the mobile app, available on App Store and Google Play, is one of the most-downloaded crypto wallets globally (200M+ cumulative downloads). The app supports a mobile-first self-custodial experience with biometric authentication, in-app dApp browser, push notifications, NFT collection browsing (600M+ NFTs viewable), and the full Trust Wallet product suite. 4.7 stars on iOS (197.1K reviews), 4.6 stars on Android (2.5M reviews). The mobile app is the strong place of Trust Wallet — the desktop extension was added later and is not as polished.

Trust Wallet Browser Extension (Chrome + Edge + Brave + Firefox + Arc)

Added later than the mobile apps, the Trust Wallet browser extension brings the same multi-chain self-custodial wallet to desktop. The extension injects both window.ethereum (EVM) and other chain-specific providers (e.g., Solana, Cosmos, Sui) into web pages, enabling DApp connection for a broad set of chains in a single extension. The extension is younger and less widely-deployed than MetaMask's, but it's the right choice for desktop users who want a single extension that covers all the chains Trust Wallet supports.

One Platform, Millions of Assets - 100+ blockchains, 10M+ assets, 600M+ NFTs

Trust Wallet's stand-out feature is the breadth of supported chains and assets. The Trust Wallet chain matrix (from the Trust Wallet homepage) covers Buy / Sell / Swap / Earn / dApps coverage for each chain. For example: BNB Smart Chain (all five features - Buy + Sell + Swap + Earn + dApps), Solana (Buy + Sell + Swap + Earn; dApps limited), Sui (Buy + Sell + Earn; Swap and dApps limited), Ethereum (all five features fully supported). 100+ blockchains in total, with new chains added regularly. 10M+ individual assets (tokens) supported across those chains. 600M+ NFTs viewable in the wallet's NFT collection manager.

Buy / Sell - in-app fiat on-ramp + off-ramp

Trust Wallet supports in-app fiat-to-crypto purchases (via card / Apple Pay / Google Pay / bank transfer through partner processors) for many chains. It also supports in-app crypto-to-fiat sales for selected chains (varies by jurisdiction and chain). The Buy / Sell flow is integrated directly in the wallet UX, no need to leave the app. Fiat-on-ramp partner fees vary by processor and jurisdiction.

Swap - cross-DEX aggregated swaps

Trust Wallet Swap integrates multiple DEXs and aggregators across the supported chains to find the best execution price. Swap fees + underlying DEX fees + network gas shown transparently in the swap UI before the user signs.

Earn - multi-chain staking

Trust Wallet Earn lets users stake supported assets directly in the wallet via native staking integrations (e.g., Cosmos staking, Solana staking, BNB staking, Tezos staking, and others). Supported assets and APYs vary by chain. Staking claims / undelegation / rewards all handled inside the wallet UX — no need to interact directly with the underlying validator or staking protocol. Trust Wallet takes a referral / commission on the staking rewards (varies by chain).

dApp Browser - in-app web3 DApp browsing

Trust Wallet's in-app dApp browser is one of the broadest mobile DApp browsers — users can connect to web3 DApps across EVM chains, Solana, Cosmos, Sui, and others directly inside the Trust Wallet app. The browser injects the appropriate per-chain provider and routes transaction signing through the Trust Wallet key store. This was the killer feature that originally drove Trust Wallet's adoption — mobile users could use DApps that previously required MetaMask desktop.

NFT collection manager - 600M+ NFTs

Trust Wallet supports browsing, holding, sending, and receiving NFTs across the supported NFT-capable chains (Ethereum, Polygon, Solana, BNB Chain, and others). 600M+ NFTs are viewable in the wallet's NFT collection manager — one of the broadest NFT browsing surfaces in any crypto wallet.

Encrypted Cloud Backup - recover without exposing the seed phrase

A meaningful usability improvement: Trust Wallet supports Encrypted Cloud Backup — the user can back up their wallet's recovery material to the cloud (Google Drive / iCloud) encrypted with a password only the user knows. If the user loses the device, they can recover the wallet from the cloud backup + their password. This is a UX improvement over the old "write down your 12-word seed phrase and pray you don't lose it" model, while preserving self-custody (Trust Wallet does not have access to the unencrypted backup).

Trust Wallet Security Scanner - proactive alerts for risky transactions

Trust Wallet's Security Scanner runs every pending transaction and DApp connection through a risk analysis engine and provides proactive alerts for risky addresses and dApp connections. If a user attempts to interact with a known malicious contract, drainer, or flagged dApp, Trust Wallet shows a clear warning before the user signs. This catches many of the most common retail-targeting phishing / drainer attacks. Similar in spirit to Phantom's scam detection and MetaMask Transaction Shield, with Trust Wallet's approach being pre-transaction risk-flagging.

Trust Wallet Developer Platform - developer.trustwallet.com

Trust Wallet publishes an open developer platform (developer.trustwallet.com) for blockchain developers to build DApps and wallets natively on Trust Wallet infrastructure. The Developer Docs cover Wallet SDKs, blockchain integration standards, and the Wallet Core library (open-source, C++, used widely across many wallets beyond Trust Wallet). The Trust Wallet Core library is a notable open-source contribution — it's used by many wallets beyond Trust Wallet itself (a meaningful piece of crypto wallet infrastructure that many wallets build on top of).

Hardware wallet support - limited

Trust Wallet's hardware wallet support is more limited than MetaMask's or Phantom's. Ledger and Trezor hardware wallet integration exists in selected flows (varies by chain and platform — mobile vs desktop), but Trust Wallet does not market hardware wallet integration as a flagship feature the way MetaMask and Phantom do. Users who want the strongest hardware-wallet-first experience are typically better-served by MetaMask (broader hardware wallet variety) or dedicated hardware-wallet-native wallets.

Self-custodial - true ownership, you control the keys

Trust Wallet is fully self-custodial across all products. From the Trust Wallet security page: "We secure your wallet, but don't control or have access to your private keys or secret phrase - only you do." Users generate and store their own private keys locally — via a 12-word BIP-39 seed phrase, via passkeys on newer mobile flows, or in a connected hardware wallet (where supported). Trust Wallet (and Binance as parent) NEVER holds user private keys and NEVER has the technical ability to recover a lost wallet. This is the same self-custodial model as MetaMask, Phantom, and MyEtherWallet — the user is the only party able to access or recover the wallet.

ISO 27001 Certified - enterprise-grade security credential

Trust Wallet holds ISO 27001 certification for information security management — a meaningful enterprise-grade security credential that very few crypto wallets hold. ISO 27001 certification requires an organization to implement a systematized information security management program covering policies, procedures, people, and technology. This is a meaningful differentiator between Trust Wallet and most other self-custodial wallets (MetaMask / Phantom / Coinbase Wallet do not prominently market ISO 27001 certification). It signals that Trust Wallet operates with formal, audited security management practices across the organization.

Independently audited - multiple third-party security audits

Trust Wallet has been independently audited by multiple third-party security firms (audit reports available on the Trust Wallet security portal). The Wallet Core library (the C++ library that powers key management across many wallets) is open-source and has been independently audited.

Encrypted Cloud Backup - recover without exposing the seed phrase

Trust Wallet's Encrypted Cloud Backup lets users back up wallet recovery material to Google Drive / iCloud encrypted with a password only the user knows. The cloud-stored backup is AES-encrypted with the user's password — Trust Wallet has no access to the unencrypted material. If the user loses their device, they recover via the cloud backup + their password. This is a meaningful usability + security improvement: it removes the most common reason users lose funds (lost / mis-stored 12-word seed phrase) while preserving self-custody (Trust Wallet cannot decrypt the backup without the user's password).

Zero personal tracking

Trust Wallet markets "zero personal tracking" as a privacy commitment: "We don't track any personal information, including your IP address or balances." This is a meaningful privacy stance given that many self-custodial wallets (using third-party RPCs, third-party price APIs, third-party DEX aggregators) implicitly route user activity through external services that could track IP / wallet / activity. Trust Wallet's zero-personal-tracking commitment is a privacy differentiator vs wallets that do not explicitly commit to this.

Trust Wallet Security Scanner - proactive alerts for risky transactions

Built-in real-time risk analysis: every pending transaction and DApp connection runs through the Trust Wallet Security Scanner, which proactively alerts the user about risky addresses and dApp connections before they sign. Catches many phishing / drainer / malicious-contract attacks the way similar features do in Phantom and MetaMask Transaction Shield.

Founded 2017 - 9 years operating, 200M+ users

Trust Wallet has been operational since 2017 (9 years) and has grown to 200M+ cumulative downloads. Despite the massive scale, Trust Wallet has not had a core wallet code exploit. The long operational history with the large user base is a meaningful track record — few other crypto wallets have been continuously operating at that scale for that long with that safety record.

Binance parentage -影响着 trust framework

Trust Wallet was acquired by Binance in 2017 (months after its founding by Viktor Radchenko). It is operated as a separate product with its own engineering team, but Binance's ownership has been both a strength (Binance ecosystem reach, marketing, support) and a trade-off (some users have raised concerns about Binance's regulatory history — multiple Binance entities have faced regulatory actions in various jurisdictions). Trust Wallet itself has not been directly implicated in any of those actions, and Trust Wallet's self-custodial model means Binance has no technical access to user wallets. But the Binance affiliation is a factor in how some users evaluate Trust Wallet relative to fully-independent alternatives like MetaMask or Phantom.

Wallet - free to download

Trust Wallet is free to download on App Store, Google Play, Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-Ons, Edge Add-Ons, and the Trust Wallet website. No subscription, no premium tier. Universal free download.

Buy / Sell (fiat on-ramp + off-ramp) - processor fees vary

Trust Wallet's in-app Buy / Sell flow uses third-party fiat processors (Simplex, MoonPay, Ramp, others) — fees are set by the processor, typically 1.5-5% per transaction, plus an exchange rate spread. The exact fee + exchange rate are disclosed transparently in the Buy / Sell confirmation screen before the user confirms. Trust Wallet takes a referral fee from the processor.

Swap - variable fee + underlying DEX fee + network gas

Trust Wallet Swap fee varies depending on the chain and route (Trust Wallet does not publish a single flat swap fee — it varies by route and underlying DEX / aggregator). On top of the Trust Wallet fee: underlying DEX fee (0.05-0.30%) + network gas. Total cost breakdown is shown in the swap confirmation UI before the user signs. For large-value swaps or frequent swappers, manually using the underlying DEX / aggregator (Uniswap, Jupiter, PancakeSwap) directly in a browser tab can be cheaper — the Trust Wallet integrated swap's convenience fee is the cost of not having to leave the wallet.

Earn (staking) - validator commission / referral fee

Trust Wallet Earn (staking) takes a commission on staking rewards as its fee for the integrated staking UX. The commission varies by chain and validator (typically 5-15% of the staking rewards, not of the principal). Staking APYs shown in the wallet UI are net of the commission. Unstaking / undelegation periods vary by chain (Cosmos ~21 days, Solana ~2-3 days epoch, etc.).

Network gas - paid to chain, not Trust Wallet

Each transaction signed in Trust Wallet requires network gas paid to the underlying chain validators. Bitcoin: variable (variable BTC/byte depending on congestion). Ethereum L1: $2-30+. BSC: sub-cent to low-cents. Solana: sub-cent. Polygon / Arbitrum / Optimism / Base: low-cents. Cosmos chains: low-cents. Trust Wallet does not charge gas on behalf of users — the user's wallet pays gas from their account. The gas fee is shown transparently in the Trust Wallet transaction confirmation dialog before the user signs.

Encrypted Cloud Backup - free

Encrypted Cloud Backup is a free feature with no additional cost — users opt in during onboarding or in settings.

Trust Wallet supports the broadest chain coverage in this directory — 100+ blockchains, 10M+ assets, 600M+ NFTs as of July 2026. Headline chains (with Buy / Sell / Swap / Earn / dApps support matrix per Trust Wallet's chain matrix):

Major EVM chains

• Ethereum (ETH) — all five features: Buy + Sell + Swap + Earn + dApps
• BNB Smart Chain (BNB) — all five features: Buy + Sell + Swap + Earn + dApps (closest ecosystem tie, given Binance parentage)
• Polygon (MATIC/POL)
• Arbitrum One (ARB)
• Optimism (OP)
• Base
• zkSync Era
• Avalanche C-Chain (AVAX)
• Cronos (CRO)
• Fantom (FTM)
• Celo (CELO)
• Gnosis Chain (xDAI)
• Linea (ConsenSys L2)
• Mantle (MNT)

Major non-EVM chains

• Bitcoin (BTC) — native UTXO support
• Solana (SOL) — Buy + Sell + Swap + Earn; dApps limited
• Sui (SUI) — Buy + Sell + Earn; Swap and dApps limited (newer Move-VM chain — Trust Wallet's coverage here is one of the strongest in any wallet)
• Aptos (APT)
• Cosmos Hub (ATOM) + Cosmos ecosystem (Tendermint chains, IBC)
• Polkadot (DOT) + Substrate chains
• Tezos (XTZ)
• Cardano (ADA)
• Ton (TON)
• Tron (TRX)
• Near (NEAR)
• Algorand (ALGO)
• Hedera (HBAR)
• Stellar (XLM)
• Ripple (XRP)

(100+ chains in total — full list on the Trust Wallet chain matrix. New chains added regularly; the Trust Wallet Core library supports a very large number of chains natively.)

For each chain, Trust Wallet provides native gas-currency display, RPC / chain configuration management, and chain-specific transaction signing (EVM UTxO, Cosmos, Solana, Sui, etc., all handled within a single wallet UI). This multi-chain architecture is Trust Wallet's biggest differentiator — no other single crypto wallet in this directory supports as broad a set of chains.
