Tired of switching between tabs, fumbling with your phone to scan QR codes, or feeling hesitant about connecting your crypto to new dApps? The digital asset experience is evolving from isolated transactions to seamless interaction. To meet this need, Trust Wallet—the beloved, secure mobile crypto wallet—has expanded its horizons directly into your browser.

Introducing the Trust Wallet Extension: the bridge between the robust security you trust and the effortless accessibility the modern Web3 world demands. It’s more than just an add-on; it’s a full-fledged, non-custodial wallet that lives in your browser, putting you in complete control of your assets as you explore the decentralized web.

Why Choose the Trust Wallet Extension?

While our mobile app remains the perfect companion for managing your portfolio on the go, the Extension is your power tool for active engagement. It’s designed for the user who lives on the frontier of DeFi, NFT marketplaces, and blockchain gaming.

1. Unmatched Convenience & Flow:
Say goodbye to workflow interruption. With the Extension, connecting to decentralized applications (dApps) like Uniswap, OpenSea, or PancakeSwap happens with a single click. Browse, discover, and interact without ever leaving your desktop environment. The seamless integration means your journey from discovery to transaction is fluid and intuitive.

2. Robust, Inherited Security:
The extension carries the same core principles that made Trust Wallet a leader. You own your private keys. They are stored locally on your device, encrypted, and never shared with our servers or anyone else. We provide the tool; you maintain absolute sovereignty over your funds and data.

3. Cross-Platform Harmony with Mobile:
Your Trust Wallet Extension doesn’t exist in a silo. Through a secure, encrypted synchronization process, you can pair it with your Trust Wallet Mobile app. This allows you to view your combined portfolio across devices and use your mobile app as an additional secure signer for transactions, adding a powerful layer of confirmation.

4. Vast Multi-Chain Support:
Just like the mobile app, the Extension is built for a multi-chain universe. It natively supports Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Avalanche, and dozens of other major EVM-compatible networks. This means you can switch networks directly within the extension to interact with dApps across various ecosystems without needing separate wallets.

Core Features at a Glance

  • One-Click dApp Connection: Securely connect to hundreds of dApps across DeFi, NFTs, and Games.
  • Built-in Web3 Browser: Explore the decentralized web safely without needing a separate browser.
  • Easy Token Management: Send, receive, store, and view your token balances for all supported networks.
  • Secure Transaction Signing: Review and approve every transaction directly in a clean, clear interface.
  • Custom RPC Support: Advanced users can add support for other EVM networks manually.

Getting Started in Under a Minute

  1. Download: Visit the official Chrome Web Store (or your browser’s extension marketplace) and search for “Trust Wallet Extension.” Always ensure you are downloading the official extension by verifying the developer is “Trust Wallet.”
  2. Create or Import: Set up a new wallet (securely storing your recovery phrase offline!) or import an existing one using your secret recovery phrase.
  3. Explore: Navigate to your favorite dApp, click “Connect Wallet,” and select Trust Wallet. Experience the smooth, integrated flow.

Security First: Best Practices

Your security is paramount. The extension empowers you, and with that power comes responsibility.

  • Guard Your Recovery Phrase: Never, under any circumstances, share your 12-word phrase. Trust Wallet will never ask for it.
  • Verify Transaction Details: Always double-check the recipient address, network, and gas fees before confirming.
  • Keep Software Updated: Ensure you are using the latest version of the extension for critical security patches.
  • Use Official Links: Only download the extension from official sources like the Chrome Web Store.

The Desktop DeFi Experience, Perfected

The Trust Wallet Extension is the missing piece for the active crypto user. It transforms your browser from a simple viewing window into an interactive portal for the entire decentralized ecosystem. It’s built on a foundation of security, designed for simplicity, and engineered for performance.
