Overview
What is Trust Wallet Extension?
The Trust Wallet Extension is a lightweight browser extension that brings Trust Wallet’s secure key management and dApp connectivity to desktop browsers. It balances the convenience of quick Web3 interactions with the security of a non-custodial wallet. This presentation highlights features, setup, best practices, and real-world use cases.
Key Features
Secure Key Storage
Private keys stay encrypted in your browser storage and are accessible only after unlocking with your password or hardware wallet approval. The extension supports hardware wallet integration for an extra security layer.
Seamless dApp Connectivity
Connect to decentralized exchanges, NFT marketplaces, and DeFi apps directly from the browser—approve transactions with clear, audited prompts and metadata to avoid malicious interactions.
Multi-Chain Support
Use one wallet across multiple blockchains—switch networks quickly, manage tokens, and sign messages without leaving the browser session.
Getting Started (Quick Setup)
Step 1 — Install
Download the extension from an official source and pin it to your browser toolbar.
Step 2 — Create or Import
Create a new wallet (securely store the seed phrase) or import an existing wallet using a recovery phrase.
Step 3 — Connect to dApps
Visit a dApp and click the connect button; the extension will prompt you to approve the connection and request permissions.
Best Practices
- Always verify the extension source before installing and keep it updated.
- Never share your recovery phrase—store it offline in multiple secure locations.
- Use hardware wallet integration for large balances or high-value transactions.
- Review transaction details carefully—check recipient addresses and amounts before approving.
Use Cases & Examples
From trading on decentralized exchanges to minting NFTs, the extension makes everyday Web3 tasks faster. Developers can test dApp flows locally; power users can manage multiple wallets and chains with minimal friction.
