Overview — What is Trust Wallet Extension?

Trust Wallet Extension is the browser-focused companion to the mobile Trust Wallet application. It provides a secure, non-custodial wallet interface that runs in your browser and connects seamlessly to decentralized applications. The extension supports multiple chains, token standards and NFTs, while offering a familiar Trust Wallet UX optimized for desktop flows. For users seeking desktop convenience without sacrificing private keys, Trust Wallet Extension is designed to strike that balance.

Key benefits of using Trust Wallet Extension

Security, convenience and compatibility are the three pillars of the extension.

Security-first, non-custodial

Private keys remain encrypted locally. You control your recovery phrase; Trust Wallet Extension never stores or transmits your seed. When combined with external hardware such as a Ledger device, the extension can be used as an interface while Ledger stores private keys offline.

Multi-chain & token support

Trust Wallet Extension supports the same wide range of chains available in the Trust Wallet ecosystem — Ethereum and EVM-compatible chains, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, and other popular networks — letting you manage tokens in one place.

Seamless dApp connections

Connect to decentralized exchanges, NFT marketplaces, and DeFi dashboards with a single click — the extension negotiates secure Web3 provider sessions and prompts transaction confirmations inside the extension UI.

How to Install Trust Wallet Extension

Installing is straightforward: add the extension from your browser store (Chrome/Edge/Brave-compatible). Always confirm the publisher and verify the official Trust Wallet website before downloading. Below is a safe, step-by-step desktop flow:

Step-by-step

1. Visit trustwallet.com and follow the browser extension link. 2. Choose your browser's extension store and click "Add to Browser". 3. Open the extension and create a new wallet or import an existing wallet using your recovery phrase. 4. (Optional) Connect a hardware wallet (Ledger) for extra security.

Important: avoid copy-pasting your recovery phrase into any web form — seed phrases should be typed or scanned in secure environments only.

Using Trust Wallet Extension with Ledger

Many users prefer to manage keys with a hardware device while using a browser extension as an interface. You can pair Trust Wallet Extension to a Ledger device for transaction signing. If you also use Ledger Live, note the workflows differ: Ledger Live focuses on portfolio and firmware management, while Trust Wallet Extension focuses on dApp connectivity and multi-chain interactions.
