Trust Wallet Extension – Enhance Your Crypto Experience

Overview: Why a browser extension?

The Trust Wallet browser extension brings your self-custody wallet directly into the browser so you can interact with Web3 dApps, NFTs, DeFi protocols, and token swaps without leaving the page. It is a non-custodial extension — you hold the private keys — and it's designed to complement the Trust Wallet mobile app.

Who is it for?

This extension is suitable for users who want fast desktop access to Web3 sites, developers testing dApps, and collectors who manage multi-chain NFTs. It supports major chains and common wallet flows (import from mobile wallets, custom RPCs, multiple accounts).

Security first

Trust Wallet emphasizes user-key ownership and local encryption of private keys. As with any browser extension, install only from official sources, enable browser-level protections, and keep seed phrases offline and secret.

Quick security checklist

• Install only from the official Trust Wallet site or the Chrome Web Store listing.
• Verify extension permissions before approving.
• Keep your recovery phrase offline; never share it.
• Use a dedicated account for high-risk interactions with unknown dApps.

Key features

The extension bundles several features useful for everyday Web3 interactions: wallet import/export, token swaps, NFT viewing, multi-chain support, and developer-friendly settings. Recent updates added multiple accounts under one seed phrase and QR-sync with mobile devices for easy desktop import.

Token swaps and DeFi

Built-in swap UI connects to on-chain liquidity sources so you can trade tokens from the extension without exporting keys to third-party sites. Always review transaction details and slippage settings carefully.

NFTs and dApps

Browse and manage NFTs across supported chains, and connect to dApps for gaming, staking, or governance. The extension aims to be a gateway to the broader Web3 ecosystem.

Getting started (step-by-step)

1. Download the extension from the official Trust Wallet extension page or your browser’s store and confirm the publisher is Trust Wallet.
2. Create a new wallet or import an existing one using your recovery phrase or QR sync from the mobile app.
3. Set a strong local password and enable any available browser protections.
4. Customize networks, add tokens, and, if needed, configure custom RPC endpoints.
5. Test by connecting to a reputable dApp and approving a small-value transaction first.

Developer & advanced usage

Trust Wallet provides developer documentation and guides for integrating dApps and listing tokens. Developers can consult official docs for recommended integration flows, deep links, and developer APIs.

Useful developer notes

Test on a testnet before mainnet deployment. Use WalletConnect or the extension's test features for integration trials. If you contribute or review code, Trust Wallet's GitHub repositories contain Wallet Core and other libraries used across the platform.
