Introduction
What is the Trust Wallet Browser Extension?
The Trust Wallet Browser Extension brings Trust Wallet’s self-custody experience to your desktop browser, letting you access Web3 dApps, manage tokens, swap assets, and view NFTs — without leaving your browser. Built by the Trust Wallet team, it mirrors the security-first approach users expect from the mobile app while adding convenience for desktop workflows and dApp interactions.
Why use a browser extension?
Speed, convenience, and compatibility
Browser extensions provide immediacy. You can connect to DeFi platforms, play Web3 games, sign transactions, and interact with marketplaces in seconds. For power users and developers, extensions remove friction between exploring a dApp in the browser and securely signing transactions from your wallet.
Bridging mobile and desktop
When you use QR sync or wallet import, the same wallet you carry on your phone becomes available on your desktop. That means larger screens for detailed portfolio views, easier NFT management, and faster interaction with complex Web3 interfaces.
Top features
Multi-chain support
The extension supports hundreds of networks and thousands of tokens. Whether you use Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana, or EVM-compatible networks, the extension aims to centralize asset management in one friendly UI.
Built-in dApp browser integration
Connect to decentralized applications without copying addresses or exposing private keys. The extension negotiates the connection safely via Web3 provider APIs.
Swap & token management
Swap tokens natively from the extension, add custom tokens, and adjust RPC endpoints when needed. This is ideal for traders and collectors who want a lightweight way to manage assets on the fly.
NFT & portfolio visibility
View NFTs across supported chains and track portfolio changes in real time. For collectors, desktop browsing makes inspecting media and marketplace interactions easier and more immersive.
Security best practices
Non-custodial model — you hold the keys
Trust Wallet follows a non-custodial model: private keys remain with you. The extension provides an encrypted keystore and password-protected access. That said, safety depends on you — protect seeds and never share them.
Verify official sources
Only install the extension from official stores or trustwallet.com. Malicious or lookalike extensions are common; check publisher details, official site redirects, and developer links to confirm authenticity.
Permissions & updates
Review requested permissions before installing. Periodically audit your extensions and remove ones you don’t use. Keep the extension updated to ensure you have the latest security fixes and feature updates.
Backup & recovery
Back up your seed phrase securely — offline and in multiple safe locations. If you use QR sync, treat the QR data as sensitive. Never paste your seed phrase into a website or a chat app.
How to install & sync
Step-by-step (quick)
- Visit the official Trust Wallet download or browser extension page.
- Open the extension store for your browser (Chrome Web Store, Firefox Add-ons) and install Trust Wallet.
- Create a new wallet or import an existing one using seed phrase or QR sync from your mobile app.
- Set a strong extension password and confirm settings (notifications, RPCs).
- Test by sending a small amount or connecting to a reputable dApp.
Syncing mobile to desktop
Use QR sync from the Trust Wallet mobile app to safely import your wallet to the desktop extension. This keeps the wallet consistent and avoids manual seed phrase entry.
Advanced tips
Customize RPCs and networks
If you interact with layer-2s or niche testnets, add custom RPC endpoints. Doing so gives developers and advanced users access to the exact network they need for testing or specialized dApps.
Workflows for frequent traders
Pin the extension in your browser, use multiple wallet profiles (if supported), and keep a dedicated browser profile for Web3 to reduce cross-contamination from general browsing activities.
