Trust Wallet Setup — Secure Your Crypto in Minutes

Learn how to install, back up, and use Trust Wallet safely to manage crypto, NFTs, and access Web3 dApps.

1. What Is Trust Wallet?

Trust Wallet is a secure, non-custodial crypto wallet that lets you manage cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and access decentralized applications (dApps) — all in one app. It's the official wallet of Binance, giving users full control of their digital assets.

Trust Tip: You own your crypto only if you control your private keys. Trust Wallet keeps your keys safe on your device, not on any server.

2. Download & Install Trust Wallet

  1. Visit the official website: trustwallet.com.
  2. Download the Trust Wallet App for iOS or Android.
  3. Open the app and tap “Create a new wallet.”

3. Secure Your Recovery Phrase

During setup, you’ll receive a 12-word recovery phrase. This is the master key to your wallet.

  • Write it down on paper — never store it digitally.
  • Keep multiple copies in secure places.
  • Never share your phrase with anyone — not even Trust Wallet support.
⚠️ Warning: Anyone with your recovery phrase can access your crypto. Treat it like your financial password.

4. Add or Import an Existing Wallet

  • To add coins: Tap “Receive” and select your cryptocurrency.
  • To import an existing wallet, choose “I already have a wallet” and enter your recovery phrase.

5. Connect to Web3 & DeFi dApps

Access thousands of decentralized applications directly inside the wallet using the Trust Wallet Browser or by connecting through WalletConnect.

  1. Open the Trust Wallet browser.
  2. Visit your favorite dApp (e.g., PancakeSwap, Uniswap).
  3. Tap Connect Wallet → Trust Wallet to start using DeFi securely.

6. Manage & Swap Your Crypto

Trust Wallet supports 70+ blockchains and 10,000+ assets. You can buy, sell, or swap tokens without leaving the app, and view real-time charts and NFT collections.
