Trust Wallet Extension — Secure & Seamless Crypto Management
Use the Trust Wallet Browser Extension to manage assets, connect to Web3 dApps, and move between mobile and desktop with confidence — all while keeping your private keys private.
Why choose the Trust Wallet Extension?
The Trust Wallet Browser Extension brings the same self-custody model you trust on mobile to your desktop browser. Instead of surrendering control to a centralized exchange, you hold your private keys locally. That means better privacy, lower risk of platform downtime, and full control over which dApps can access your assets.
Non-custodial security
Private keys remain encrypted on your device. The extension never transmits or stores your seed phrase on external servers.
Multi-chain support
Access popular chains and EVM-compatible networks — trade, stake, and collect NFTs without switching wallets.
Seamless dApp access
Connect to decentralized exchanges, marketplaces, and play-to-earn games directly from your browser.
Cross-device workflows
Import your mobile wallet into the extension or use WalletConnect to bridge sessions between devices.
Getting started: install, create, import
Install the extension
Visit the official browser extension page or the Chrome Web Store link above. Always verify the publisher and the website domain before installing any extension.
Create a new wallet (recommended for new users)
After installation, choose Create a new wallet. Write down your 12/24-word seed phrase on paper and store it securely offline. Do not take photos or store the seed phrase in cloud storage.
Import an existing wallet
If you already use Trust Wallet on mobile, you can import your wallet by entering the seed phrase or by using the wallet import feature. This allows a consistent experience between your phone and desktop.
Security best practices
Browser extensions can be targeted by attackers or impersonators. Follow these practical steps:
Only install from official pages
Use the official domain links above. Check the publisher and read recent reviews on the Chrome Web Store. Beware of lookalike names and copying sites.
Protect your seed phrase
Store your seed phrase offline and never share it. Trust Wallet staff, moderators, or support will never ask for your seed phrase.
Keep software updated
Keep your browser and the Trust Wallet extension updated. Updates often include critical security patches and improvements.
Use hardware wallet integration (if you need extra security)
For larger holdings, consider using a hardware wallet alongside Trust Wallet where supported — this keeps the private keys on a physical device.

FAQ — Quick answers
Q: Is the Trust Wallet Extension free?
A: Yes. The extension is free to download and use. Network fees (gas) still apply for on-chain transactions.
