Features for seamless Web3 management

Trust Wallet Extension centralizes your Web3 activity: connect to dApps, swap compatible tokens, manage multi‑chain accounts, and view NFTs—directly from the browser. Request details are presented clearly, letting you approve or deny each action with confidence. Network switching is fast, portfolio views stay consistent across chains, and labels help you organize accounts without confusion.

dApp connections

One‑click connect, readable approvals, and easy session revocation. Enable auto‑connect for trusted apps to streamline workflows, and disconnect when finished to keep your surface minimal.

Multi‑chain accounts

Switch between Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Solana, and more. Balances and activity remain consistent, while account labels reduce sending from the wrong address or network.

Swaps & transfers

Swap compatible tokens in‑wallet and use readable flows for send/receive. Address previews and fee summaries keep you informed before you click approve, minimizing mistakes.

NFT visibility

View collections on supported chains. For marketplace actions, connect, inspect contract prompts, and only sign what you understand. Revoke permissions for apps you no longer use.

Thoughtful defaults aim to reduce friction while preserving control. You can explore DeFi and NFTs, with your keys staying local and your approvals remaining explicit.

DeFi, NFTs, and Web3 journeys—made clear

DeFi and NFTs thrive on transparency. The extension presents approval details in plain language, helps you review allowances, and keeps network context front‑and‑center. Use small test transactions when joining new protocols, avoid unknown links, and keep track of your active connections to stay in control.

Session hygieneDisconnect when you finish; reconnect later
Phishing awarenessVerify URLs and avoid unfamiliar contracts

Reminder: If any dApp prompt looks confusing, pause. Close the tab, read the docs, and reconnect only when you understand the request.

Security and recovery best practices

Trust Wallet Extension follows a local‑first model. Keys are generated and stored on your device; backups rely on your recovery phrase. Combine local protection with smart habits: label accounts, verify addresses, scrutinize approvals, and revoke unused connections. Treat your recovery phrase like the master key—write it down, store it offline, and never digitize or share it.

Local keys: Private keys remain on your device
Offline backup: Write your recovery phrase; store offline securely
Readable approvals: Inspect prompts before signing any action
Connection hygiene: Revoke unused permissions and sessions
Network awareness: Confirm the correct chain before transactions

If details differ between the app and extension, trust the extension’s prompt, re‑open the dApp, and re‑verify before proceeding.
