Getting started with Trust Wallet

Step-by-step (mobile)

Download the official app from the Google Play or App Store.
Create a new wallet: the app will generate a 12-word recovery phrase — write it down and store it offline.
Enable biometric unlock (optional) for faster access on supported devices.
Receive crypto by sharing your public address, or buy/swap tokens directly inside the app.
Explore dApps via the built-in browser to connect your wallet securely to Web3 services.

Important: Trust Wallet will never ask you for your recovery phrase. Anyone who has your phrase can access your funds.

Security & privacy fundamentals

How Trust Wallet protects your assets

Trust Wallet is non-custodial: private keys are generated and stored locally on your device. The app provides a deterministic seed (12 or 24 words depending on wallet) that you must keep private. Because Trust Wallet is not a bank or custodial service, it cannot recover your keys if your seed is lost.

Best practices

Backup your recovery phrase on paper — never store it online.
Use hardware wallets for large holdings when possible (Trust Wallet supports connecting to hardware wallets via integrations).
Keep your device OS updated and enable biometric/passcode protection.
Verify dApp addresses and permissions before approving transactions.

Open-source & audits

Trust Wallet uses open-source components and periodically publishes security information and audits. Check the official security and GitHub pages for the latest technical details.

Using Web3 & dApps

The built-in dApp browser lets you connect to decentralized exchanges, NFT marketplaces, games, and DeFi protocols. When interacting, Trust Wallet will display the dApp origin, requested permissions, and transaction details — always confirm these before approving.

Common Web3 actions

Connect wallet to a dApp via the mobile browser.
Sign messages for authentication (only sign if you understand why).
Approve token allowances carefully; revoke unused approvals.

Integrations & ecosystem

Trust Wallet integrates with major services: in-app swaps, DEX routers, NFT galleries, and fiat on-ramps. The app supports many token standards and continuously adds chains and tokens to expand Web3 access.
