Trust Wallet® Extension® | Secure Web3 Access | Browser Extension™
Trust Wallet Extension® is the official browser extension version of Trust Wallet®, designed to bring secure Web3 access directly to your desktop browser. With the Trust Wallet® Extension®, users can interact with decentralized applications (dApps), manage crypto assets, and connect to blockchain networks — all while maintaining full self-custody control.
Unlike centralized platforms, the Trust Wallet® Browser Extension™ ensures that private keys remain encrypted and stored locally on your device. This allows users to safely explore DeFi platforms, NFT marketplaces, and Web3 ecosystems directly from supported desktop browsers.
What Is Trust Wallet® Extension®?
Trust Wallet® Extension® is a non-custodial browser wallet that enables users to:
- Store and manage cryptocurrencies
- Connect to decentralized applications (dApps)
- Swap supported tokens
- Interact with DeFi platforms
- Access NFT marketplaces
- Sign blockchain transactions securely
It functions similarly to the mobile version but is optimized for desktop browser environments.
Trust Wallet® was originally launched as a mobile-first wallet and later became part of Binance, while continuing to operate as a decentralized self-custody wallet.
