What is the Trust Wallet Extension?

The Trust Wallet Extension is a browser extension that brings Trust Wallet’s secure key management and Web3 connectivity to your desktop browser. It lets you manage assets, sign transactions, and connect to decentralized applications (dApps) safely and conveniently.

Before you install the Trust Wallet Extension

  • Always use official links above or official browser stores (Chrome Web Store / Edge Add-ons / Firefox Add-ons).
  • Keep a secure backup of your recovery phrase; do not store it digitally in plaintext.
  • Prefer installing on a private device rather than public/shared computers.

Step 1 — Install the Trust Wallet Extension

Open your browser's extension store and search for "Trust Wallet" or visit the official Trust Wallet Download page, then install the extension. After installation, pin the extension to your browser toolbar for quick access.

Tip: Verify the developer and review user count & reviews in the store listing to help avoid impersonators.

Step 2 — Create or import a wallet

  1. Open the Trust Wallet Extension and choose "Create a New Wallet" or "Import Wallet" if you already have a recovery phrase.
  2. When creating, write down the recovery phrase exactly and store it offline. This phrase restores your wallet across devices.
  3. Set a strong password for quick unlock in the extension (this protects the local device only).

Step 3 — Use the Trust Wallet Extension safely

To receive funds, choose an asset and click "Receive". To send funds, choose "Send" and carefully confirm the address and network. When connecting to dApps, the Trust Wallet Extension will prompt you to approve account access and transactions — only approve requests you recognize.

Security best practices for the Trust Wallet Extension

  • Never share your recovery phrase or private keys. Trust Wallet support will never ask for them.
  • Use hardware wallets for large balances; the Trust Wallet Extension can often integrate with hardware devices for safer signing.
  • Keep your browser and OS updated and avoid suspicious browser plugins that request access to extension data.
  • Enable 2FA on services connected to your crypto if available (note: extension itself uses local password, not 2FA).

Troubleshooting the Trust Wallet Extension

If the extension behaves unexpectedly, try the following: remove and reinstall from the official store, clear browser cache, restart the browser, or restore the wallet using the recovery phrase on the official extension. For account-specific issues, consult Trust Wallet’s official support channels.
