A polished, secure, and user-friendly browser extension for managing crypto — presentation covering setup, features, security best practices, developer integrations and resources.
The Trust Wallet Extension brings the familiar Trust Wallet experience directly into your browser. It combines secure key management, multi-chain support, dApp connectivity, and an intuitive interface that helps both newcomers and advanced users interact with decentralized applications safely and efficiently.
Built on the same design principles as the Trust Wallet mobile app, the extension offers a familiar experience with fast access to balances, token swaps, and dApp connections. It’s ideal for users who want browser-native access without giving up the security of a wallet they trust.
Supports major EVM chains and select non-EVM networks, enabling interactions with a broad set of dApps across DeFi, NFTs and Web3 services.
Private keys are encrypted locally and never leave the device. The extension integrates with hardware wallets (for advanced setups) and provides a clear seed phrase backup flow for safe recovery.
Seamless interaction with in-browser dApps using standard connection flows such as WalletConnect and in-page provider injection. Approve transactions with clear gas estimates and human-friendly descriptions.
Access on-chain swap aggregators and fiat gateways directly from the extension. Compare rates and select preferred bridges or liquidity sources without leaving your browser.
Installable on Chromium-based browsers and Firefox via their official extension marketplaces. Always verify the publisher before installing.
To migrate an existing Trust Wallet mobile account, choose "Import Wallet" and enter your 12/24-word seed phrase. After import, review account balances and confirm permissions for connected dApps.
All sensitive information is stored encrypted on your machine. A strong password (long and unique) is critical — it prevents local access even if your device is compromised.
Review dApp permission requests carefully. The extension surfaces the contract being called, the function name (where available), and estimated gas. Revoke token approvals for contracts you no longer use.
For larger balances or frequent high-value transactions, connect a hardware wallet for an additional layer of signing security. The extension supports pairing with popular hardware devices through USB or WebHID.
Trust Wallet Extension injects a web3 provider into pages, allowing dApps to request accounts, sign transactions and read chain data. It follows widely adopted EIP patterns to remain compatible with existing developer tooling.
async function connect() {
if (window.ethereum) {
const accounts = await window.ethereum.request({ method: 'eth_requestAccounts' });
console.log('Connected', accounts[0]);
} else {
console.warn('No injected provider found');
}
}
For mobile-first dApps, the extension also acts as a WalletConnect bridge option — scan QR codes from the dApp to connect securely.
Developers can select custom RPC endpoints directly from the extension for testing or to prioritize specific node providers.
Register custom tokens and networks during development; the extension stores these preferences locally to streamline testing workflows.
The dashboard shows total portfolio value, network selector, and quick-actions for Send, Receive, Swap and Connect. A small activity feed surfaces recent transactions and dApp interactions.
Transaction modals surface: origin website, contract address, value, gas estimate and a human-friendly summary. Advanced users can toggle to a raw view to inspect calldata.
Add or hide tokens, and mark favorites. Token details pages include contract info, price charts (powered by trusted third-party APIs) and quick links to explorers.
For EVM chains, choose custom gas when interacting with congested networks. The extension suggests priority levels and shows estimated completion time.
Use the built-in permission manager to revoke or limit smart contract approvals. Regularly auditing approvals reduces the blast radius if a dApp is compromised.
Create separate accounts for day-to-day activity and for long-term storage. Keep minimal balances on accounts used for frequent dApp interactions.
Install the extension on a new browser, choose "Import wallet", and enter your seed phrase word-for-word. After import, confirm your accounts and balances.
Use the official support channels listed in the resources section below. For security incidents, follow the Trust Wallet incident response guidelines and contact support immediately.
Below are curated official links to help users and developers get started, verify the extension, and find technical references. Always confirm the publisher when opening links.
Developers can contribute via the public repositories, submit bug reports, or propose feature requests through the project's issue trackers and community channels.
Trust Wallet Extension aims to bring a trusted mobile wallet experience to the browser—balancing usability and strong security guarantees. Whether you’re getting started with Web3 or building the next dApp, it offers a solid foundation for safe, convenient interactions.
