Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about Trust Wallet

Is Trust Wallet really free to use?

Yes, Trust Wallet is completely free to download and use. There are no fees for creating a wallet, receiving funds, or storing cryptocurrencies. The only costs you might encounter are blockchain network fees (gas fees) when sending transactions or using dApps, which are paid to network validators, not to Trust Wallet.

What happens if I lose my phone or recovery phrase?

If you lose your phone but have your recovery phrase, you can restore your wallet on any device by importing the 12-word phrase. However, if you lose both your phone and recovery phrase, your funds will be permanently lost. Trust Wallet cannot recover your wallet or funds since we don't store your private keys or recovery phrase. This is why securely backing up your recovery phrase is crucial.

Can I use Trust Wallet for NFTs?

Absolutely! Trust Wallet has full NFT support across multiple blockchains including Ethereum, BNB Chain, and Polygon. You can store, view, and manage your NFT collections directly in the app. The wallet automatically detects NFTs in your address and displays them in a beautiful gallery format. You can also buy, sell, and trade NFTs through integrated marketplaces.

How secure is Trust Wallet?

Trust Wallet employs multiple security layers: 1) Non-custodial architecture - your keys never leave your device, 2) Local encryption - all sensitive data is encrypted on your device, 3) Biometric authentication - optional fingerprint/face ID protection, 4) Open-source code - transparent and auditable by security experts, 5) Regular security updates - continuous improvements and vulnerability patches. However, ultimate security responsibility lies with users to protect their recovery phrase.
