Overview
What is the Trust Wallet Extension?
Trust Wallet Extension brings Trust Wallet's secure key management and dApp connectivity to your desktop browser. It acts as a bridge between your local wallet and web-based decentralized applications, allowing you to sign transactions, manage multiple wallets, and interact with DeFi and NFT platforms securely.
Key advantages
Non-custodial by design
Your private keys always remain local to the extension — Trust Wallet never has access to them.
Multi-chain support
Manage tokens across Ethereum, BNB Chain, and many EVM-compatible networks with built-in token discovery.
Smooth dApp integration
Connect to decentralized exchanges, NFT marketplaces, and DeFi protocols using the standard Web3 provider handshake.
Setup & Onboarding
Install the extension from an official store page, create or import a wallet using your recovery phrase, and optionally enable hardware wallet support (if available). Always verify the extension origin and review permissions during installation.
Security checklist
- Download only from official sources listed below.
- Keep your recovery phrase offline and never share it.
- Enable a strong password for the extension and lock it when idle.
- Use hardware wallet integration for large holdings when possible.
- Verify dApp contract addresses before approving transactions.
Tips for everyday use
Use the extension for small, frequent interactions and pair with the mobile Trust Wallet for on-the-go access. Set custom gas limits when needed, and create multiple wallet profiles for separating funds and testing environments.
