What is Trust Wallet
Trust Wallet is a self-custodial wallet for mobile and as a browser extension, operating since 2017. It supports assets on 100+ blockchains and connects to dApps, swaps, staking and partner services for buying crypto. Keys are generated and stored on the user's device.
Who holds the keys
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Key control | Self-custodial: keys are generated and stored on the user's device, never on Trust Wallet servers. |
| Seed phrase | Secret recovery phrase created on the device; the wallet can be restored in any compatible app. |
| Recovery | Optional encrypted cloud backup to the user's own iCloud or Google Drive, protected by a password Trust Wallet cannot reset. |
| Account model | No Trust Wallet account and no server-stored password. |
Features and supported networks
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Platforms | Mobile app and browser extension. |
| Supported networks | 100+ blockchains. |
| dApp browser | Built-in browser for third-party dApps and decentralised exchanges. |
| Swaps | Swaps, staking, buying and selling are provided through partners. |
| Security scanner | Simulates transactions and warns about known scam contracts and risky approvals before signing. |
Security and audits
- Terms state the wallet is under a GPL open-source licence; its core library, Wallet Core, is public on GitHub under Apache 2.0.
- Published audits include CertiK and Cure53 (browser extension, 2023), Halborn and CertiK (SWIFT wallet, 2023), Quantstamp and Halborn (smart account, 2025).
- On 24 December 2025 a malicious extension version 2.68 was published to the Chrome Web Store using a leaked API key; 2,520 addresses were drained (about $8.5 million) and Trust Wallet chose to reimburse affected users.
Fees
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Wallet | Fees are mainly set by third-party partners and shown in the app; network fees apply. Trust Wallet may receive a revenue share. |
History
| Date | Event |
|---|---|
| 2017 | Trust Wallet began operating. |
| April 2023 | Cure53 audited the browser extension. |
| 24 December 2025 | A malicious extension version 2.68 was published using leaked credentials linked to the Sha1-Hulud supply-chain attack; affected users were offered reimbursement. |

Risks and caveats
- Anyone with the recovery phrase controls the funds; a lost phrase with no backup means lost funds.
- A December 2025 supply-chain attack on the browser extension drained user wallets; the vendor reimbursed affected users.
- dApps, DEXes, staking and buy/sell services are third-party and outside Trust Wallet's control.

How voting works
Votes are anonymous and carry no text. Each device has one vote per item; press the same button again to remove it. Cloudflare Turnstile checks that a person is voting. We keep a random device ID in a cookie and a salted hash of the IP address to limit abuse — no names, no accounts. Votes are visitors’ opinions, not investment advice.
