This presentation explains Trust Wallet's core features, setup, dApp connectivity, and security best practices. Includes a demo access UI for visual reference (client-side only).
What is Trust Wallet?
Trust Wallet is a mobile-first, non-custodial wallet that supports multiple blockchains and thousands of tokens. It provides an in-app dApp browser, swap integrations, staking options, and seamless connectivity to Web3 services via WalletConnect and other protocols.
Non-custodial: you control private keys locally on your device.
Multi-chain support for Ethereum, BSC, Solana, Avalanche, and many more.
Built-in dApp browser and WalletConnect support for secure dApp interactions.
Getting started
Download Trust Wallet from the official App Store / Google Play listing and verify publisher details.
Create a new wallet: write down the recovery phrase exactly as shown and store it offline (prefer metal backup for long-term).
Enable device-level protections (biometrics / strong PIN) and consider using secure enclave features on modern phones.
Add the chains and tokens you plan to use and perform a small test transaction to confirm setup.
Key features at a glance
WalletConnect & dApp browser
Connect securely to Web3 apps and DEXs without exposing private keys.
Swaps & staking
In-app swaps and staking options for supported networks to earn yield.
Multi-token management
Manage ERC-20, BEP-20, SPL tokens and more in a single interface.
Security model
Trust Wallet is non-custodial: private keys are generated and stored on the user's device. The app provides secure key storage, transaction signing on-device, and integration with secure hardware-backed enclaves when available.
Recovery phrase is the single source of account recovery — never share it.
Connect to dApps using WalletConnect to avoid pasting private keys into websites.
Biometric locks and PINs protect app access on the device level.
dApp & WalletConnect best practices
Review contract interactions carefully — verify the function, token, and amounts before approving in WalletConnect dialogs.
Prefer short-lived session connections and revoke sessions when not needed.
Avoid approving unlimited token allowances; set minimal allowances and revoke them when done.
Use reputable dApps and check community reviews and audits before large interactions.
Recovery & backup
Your recovery phrase is the ultimate key to your funds. Store it offline and consider a metal backup. If your device is lost or compromised, restore using the recovery phrase on a new device and rotate credentials where necessary.
Threats & limitations
Trust Wallet protects against many software-based attacks by keeping keys local, but it cannot protect against physical theft, coerced disclosure, or users entering recovery phrases into phishing sites. Always verify URLs and avoid sharing sensitive information.
Closing & resources
Trust Wallet offers a powerful, non-custodial gateway to Web3. Combine good device hygiene, careful dApp interactions, and strong offline backups to maintain control over your digital assets.
