Introduction
The Trust Wallet browser extension brings the power of a non‑custodial mobile wallet to your desktop. Designed for quick dApp connections, token swaps, NFT management, and cross‑device sync, the extension offers a familiar mobile experience with desktop convenience.
Why use the extension?
Desktop workflows — such as interacting with Web3 marketplaces, DeFi dashboards, and on‑chain tools — are easier with a browser wallet. The Trust Wallet extension lets you:
- Own your private keys while using powerful dApps.
- Swap tokens and manage NFTs without switching devices.
- Import and sync wallets securely between mobile and desktop.
Key features at a glance
- Multi‑chain support (100+ networks) and token compatibility.
- Built‑in swap and DEX aggregation for competitive rates.
- Hardware wallet pairing and QR sync from mobile to desktop.
- Custom RPCs, token management, and advanced settings for power users.
Security best practices
Security starts with you. Follow these simple rules when using the extension:
- Only install the extension from the official Trust Wallet site or the Chrome Web Store listing linked below.
- Never share your Secret Recovery Phrase — Trust Wallet will never ask for it in a browser prompt.
- Enable hardware wallet integration for large balances.
- Keep your browser and extension updated — check the official changelog and support pages for alerts.
Quick walkthrough: connect & swap
Install the extension, create or import a wallet, then connect to a dApp by selecting "Connect Wallet" on the site and choosing Trust Wallet. To swap, open the integrated swap tab, choose tokens and networks, review fees, and confirm the transaction in the extension popup.
Tips for advanced users
If you manage multiple accounts, use the import feature with separate passphrases and consider a hardware wallet for the main vault. For developers, Trust provides listing guides and a developer portal to register dApps and token metadata.
Common pitfalls & troubleshooting
If a dApp won’t detect the extension, try these steps: refresh the page, ensure the extension is enabled for the current site, clear browser cache, and verify the extension version. For token visibility issues, add the token contract manually via the extension's token management tool.
When to seek support
Use official support channels if you suspect a security incident, have lost access to your recovery phrase, or encounter suspicious transaction prompts. Always verify the URL and official guidance before acting.
