Trust Wallet Extension™ is a browser-based crypto wallet that allows users to manage digital assets directly from their desktop browser. Developed by Trust Wallet and supported by Binance, this extension provides secure access to cryptocurrencies, decentralized applications (dApps), NFTs, and DeFi platforms without needing separate desktop software. It works similarly to popular browser wallets like MetaMask, but with the added reliability and ecosystem integration that Trust Wallet users already know from the mobile app.
Trust Wallet Extension™ is designed to make crypto management seamless, secure, and accessible for both beginners and experienced traders. Whether you are storing tokens, connecting to decentralized exchanges, or minting NFTs, the extension gives you direct control over your assets from your browser.
Trust Wallet Extension™ offers a balance of usability and security. Many crypto users prefer browser wallets because they allow quick access to dApps without switching devices. With this extension, you can:
Unlike centralized exchanges, Trust Wallet Extension™ gives you full control over your private keys. That means you are the true owner of your crypto assets. Your funds are not stored on exchange servers but secured with your recovery phrase.
Another major advantage is cross-chain support. Trust Wallet Extension™ supports Ethereum-based tokens (ERC-20), Binance Smart Chain tokens (BEP-20), and other major networks, making it versatile for diversified crypto portfolios.
Trust Wallet Extension™ supports a wide range of blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, and more. This allows users to manage different digital assets within a single interface.
With built-in Web3 compatibility, users can connect to decentralized applications instantly. Whether it's staking, swapping, lending, or gaming, the extension provides direct interaction with blockchain-based platforms.
Trust Wallet Extension™ is a non-custodial wallet. This means your private keys remain stored locally on your device, encrypted for security. Only you have access to your recovery phrase.
NFT collectors can store, send, and receive digital collectibles directly from the browser extension. It supports NFT viewing across compatible networks.
The integrated swap feature allows users to exchange tokens without leaving the wallet interface. This makes portfolio adjustments faster and more convenient.

Many users wonder how Trust Wallet Extension™ differs from the mobile version.
The mobile app is ideal for on-the-go management, while the browser extension is optimized for desktop-based dApp interaction. For example, NFT marketplaces and DeFi dashboards often function more smoothly on desktop browsers.
Using both versions together provides flexibility. You can manage assets on mobile and interact with advanced DeFi tools via the browser extension.
Decentralized Finance (DeFi) has transformed how users interact with financial services. Trust Wallet Extension™ makes DeFi accessible by allowing users to:
By connecting directly to DeFi protocols, users maintain custody of their funds while accessing financial opportunities traditionally handled by banks.
NFT adoption continues to grow across gaming, art, and digital collectibles. Trust Wallet Extension™ enables users to:
