The Trust Wallet Browser Extension is a secure, non-custodial cryptocurrency wallet developed by Trust Wallet (a Binance-owned product). It brings the popular mobile wallet experience to your desktop browser, allowing seamless interaction with Web3 directly from Chrome, Brave, Edge, Opera, and compatible browsers.

Official download: Available from the Chrome Web Store or trustwallet.com/browser-extension (always verify the source to avoid fakes).

Key Features

  • Multi-chain support — Manage assets on Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, BNB Chain, all major EVM-compatible networks, Tron, TON, and more.
  • Self-custody security — You control your private keys and recovery phrase; Trust Wallet never accesses your funds.
  • Web3 gateway — Connect effortlessly to thousands of decentralized applications (dApps), DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, Web3 games, and metaverse experiences.
  • In-extension swaps — Exchange 10,000+ tokens safely via integrated trusted providers.
  • NFT management — View, collect, and manage NFTs across supported chains.
  • Earn rewards — Stake assets and earn up to high APR percentages through trusted staking providers.
  • Additional tools — Buy crypto via fiat on-ramps (e.g., Coinbase Pay, Binance Pay), send/receive tokens, add custom tokens/RPC settings, import wallets from MetaMask/Phantom/Coinbase Wallet, and more.
  • User-friendly interface — Intuitive design with asset overviews, search functions, and easy navigation for both beginners and advanced users.

The extension emphasizes true crypto ownership with encryption, proactive risk alerts, and no personal data tracking.

It is ideal for desktop users who want to interact with dApps without switching to mobile, while maintaining the same seed phrase for cross-device access (import via recovery phrase).

Note on security history — In late 2025, a specific version (2.68) had a serious incident leading to losses; users should always keep the extension updated (current versions like 2.73+ are secure post-fix) and only install from official sources.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Is the Trust Wallet Extension safe to use?
Yes, when downloaded from the official Chrome Web Store or trustwallet.com. It is non-custodial (you hold your keys), uses strong encryption, and includes scam/phishing alerts. Always update to the latest version and never share your recovery phrase.

2. How do I set it up?
Install from the Chrome Web Store, create a new wallet (generate recovery phrase—back it up securely offline), or import an existing one using your 12-word seed phrase. Set a strong password for app access.

3. Can I use the same wallet on mobile and extension?
Yes—import your mobile wallet's recovery phrase into the extension (or vice versa) to access the same funds across devices.

4. Does it support Ledger or hardware wallets?
Yes, the extension integrates with Ledger for added security on supported chains.

5. How do I swap tokens in the extension?
Go to the Swap section, select tokens/networks, enter amount, review fees/route, and confirm. It aggregates liquidity from trusted DEX providers.

6. What if I lose access to my wallet?
Use your 12/24-word recovery phrase to restore on any compatible device or wallet. Without the phrase (and if no backups), funds are irrecoverable—never store it digitally or share it.

7. Why connect to dApps?
Connecting signs transactions for DeFi (lending/staking), NFT minting/trading, gaming, etc. Always review permissions and use trusted sites.
