Quick facts
- Type: Browser extension for Chrome/Edge/Brave
- Primary use: Wallet management + dApp interaction
- Audience: Retail users, DeFi traders, dApp builders
Speaker note: emphasize trust, usability, cross-device syncing options, and security-first approach.
What is the Trust Wallet Extension?
Simple, secure access to crypto from your browser
The Trust Wallet Extension is a browser-based wallet that brings the core features of the Trust Wallet mobile app to desktop browsers. Users can manage multiple addresses, interact with decentralized applications (dApps), sign transactions, and view token balances—without leaving the browser tab.
Key components
- Seed phrase management: Create/import wallets using a secure mnemonic seed phrase.
- Key storage: Local encrypted keys stored in the browser profile.
- dApp connector: Seamless connection to dApps via injected provider (ethereum-like).
Speaker note: clarify difference between extension and hardware wallets; extension is convenient, hardware is more secure for large holdings.
Why use the Trust Wallet Extension?
Benefits for everyday crypto users
- Speed: Quick logins and transaction signing without mobile QR workflows.
- Usability: Familiar interface, clear balances, token search, and easy network switching.
- Interoperability: Works with Ethereum, BSC, and EVM-compatible chains supported by Trust Wallet.
Business and developer advantages
Developers can integrate web3 flows, request signatures, and test dApp interactions directly in desktop browsers—reducing friction in onboarding new users to an application.
Installing & Initial Setup
Step-by-step
- Open your browser's extension store (Chrome Web Store / Edge Add-ons / Brave).
- Search for Trust Wallet Extension and verify publisher authenticity.
- Click Add to browser and pin the extension for easy access.
- Create a new wallet or import an existing one with your 12/24-word mnemonic.
- Set a strong password for the extension; write down the seed phrase on paper and store offline.
Speaker note: when showing a live demo, hide actual mnemonic and use a test account.
Visual cues
Look for verified badges, the extension icon, and permissions requested. Avoid third-party clones and check user reviews.
Tip
Always verify the extension URL and publisher. If unsure, install from the official Trust Wallet website link.
Core features you'll use daily
Manage, Send, Receive, and Connect
- Multi-asset wallet: View and manage tokens and NFTs across supported chains.
- Transaction signing: Approve contract calls and transfers securely.
- Network selector: Switch networks for testing (e.g., Mainnet, BSC, custom RPCs).
- dApp interactions: Approve connections and sign messages through a consistent UI.
Speaker note: show token discovery and token addition flows during demo slides.
Security best practices
Protect your funds
- Never share your seed phrase. Treat it like your bank vault key.
- Use a hardware wallet for large balances where possible (Trust Wallet extension can sometimes integrate with hardware solutions).
- Keep your browser updated, and avoid installing untrusted extensions that can leak keys.
- Lock your extension with a strong password and enable device-level security (OS password, biometrics).
Detecting phishing or malicious dApps
Be conservative with approvals: prefer "read-only" where possible, and revoke approvals if suspicious. Use block explorer links to verify transactions and contract addresses before interacting.
Advanced tips & power-user flows
Efficiency and control
- Custom RPCs: Add testnets or private nodes for development and lower fees.
- Gas control: Manually set gas for time-sensitive transactions to prioritize or save fees.
- Account separation: Use multiple wallets for trading vs long-term holding to compartmentalize risk.
Developer integration
Developers should implement proper provider detection, handle user rejections gracefully, and provide clear UI when requesting signatures.
Troubleshooting & FAQs
Common issues and quick fixes
- Missing tokens: Add tokens by contract address; ensure correct network selected.
- Cannot connect to dApp: Refresh page, disconnect and reconnect the extension, or clear site data.
- Forgot password: You will need your seed phrase to restore—passwords cannot be recovered otherwise.
Speaker note: emphasize secure backup and seed phrase location during Q&A.
Help resources
