Trust Wallet is a multi‑chain, non‑custodial cryptocurrency wallet that allows users to store, send, receive, and manage digital assets across more than 100 blockchain networks. Available as a mobile app for iOS and Android and as a browser extension, the wallet supports decentralized finance (DeFi), NFTs, crypto staking, token swapping, and access to decentralized applications (dApps). The company reported more than 220 million users worldwide in 2026.[1][2] The wallet is non-custodial, meaning users retain full control of their private keys and seed phrases at all times.[3][4]

Acquired by Binance in 2018, Trust Wallet later became a separate company owned by Binance founder Changpeng Zhao.[5][2]

History

[edit]

Trust Wallet was founded in 2017 by Ukrainian developer Viktor Radchenko, a software developer with a background in cybersecurity and mobile applications.[6][7][8] The wallet was initially developed for storing ERC-20 and ERC-223 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain.[7] As the cryptocurrency ecosystem grew, Trust Wallet added support for additional blockchains and digital assets, including Solana, NFTs, and allowed users to interact with decentralized applications.[9]

In July 2018, Binance acquired Trust Wallet in its first-ever acquisition.[10][11][8][6]

In 2022, Radchenko stepped down from his role to pursue other ventures.[6] Following his departure, Eowyn Chen was appointed CEO of Trust Wallet.[12]

Features

[edit]

Supported blockchains

[edit]

Trust Wallet supports more than 100 blockchain networks natively within a single application, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Bitcoin, Solana, Polygon, Avalanche, Tron, and Cosmos, without requiring manual network configuration.[13] The wallet also supports more than 10 million digital assets across these networks.[citation needed]

Token swapping

[edit]

Trust Wallet provides in-app token swapping through integrations with third-party decentralized exchange (DEX) aggregators, including 1inch, THORChain, and Axelar.[citation needed] Trust Wallet does not charge a platform fee for swaps; users pay network gas fees and any fees set by the third-party provider.[citation needed]

Buying cryptocurrency

[edit]

Users can purchase cryptocurrency within the app using fiat currency through partnerships with third-party on-ramp providers,[14] which include Alchemy Pay, Banxa, Mercuryo, MoonPay, Paybis, Onramper, Ramp, and Transak.[15] Supported payment methods include credit cards, debit cards, bank transfers, Apple Pay, and Google Pay.[16]

AI and automation

[edit]

In 2025, Trust Wallet introduced the Trust Wallet Agent Kit (TWAK), a toolkit designed to enable artificial intelligence agents to execute cryptocurrency transactions across multiple blockchains.[1][2]

Staking

[edit]

Trust Wallet allows users to stake proof-of-stake assets directly within the app and earn rewards. Supported assets include ETH, BNB, SOL, ADA, and TRX, among others.[citation needed]

Non-fungible tokens

[edit]

The wallet supports the storage, display, and transfer of non-fungible tokens (NFTs) across multiple blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, and Polygon.[citation needed]

Browser extension

[edit]

Trust Wallet is available as a browser extension for Google Chrome, Brave, and Microsoft Edge, enabling users to connect to Web3 dApps from a desktop browser.[citation needed]

Technology

[edit]

Wallet Core

[edit]

Trust Wallet's cryptographic key management is built on Wallet Core, an open-source library released under the MIT License and maintained publicly on GitHub.[17] Wallet Core handles private key generation, transaction signing, and address derivation across supported blockchains, and is also used by third-party developers building multi-chain applications.[citation needed]

Security model

[edit]

Trust Wallet uses a non-custodial architecture in which private keys and seed phrases are generated and stored locally on the user's device and are never transmitted to Trust Wallet's servers.[citation needed] The application supports biometric authentication and PIN-based access control. The Wallet Core library has undergone independent third-party security audits.[18]
