Trust Wallet is widely known as a mobile cryptocurrency wallet, but officially, it does not have a browser extension like MetaMask. The wallet is designed primarily for mobile use on iOS and Android devices, focusing on simplicity, security, and access to decentralized applications (dApps) via its in-app browser.
Here’s a breakdown:
What is Trust Wallet?
Trust Wallet is a non-custodial wallet, meaning you control your private keys and funds. It supports:
Thousands of cryptocurrencies across multiple blockchains.
NFTs and token collectibles.
Staking for some coins directly within the app.
dApp interactions via its built-in Web3 browser.
Trust Wallet and Browser Extensions
As of now, Trust Wallet does not offer a desktop browser extension like MetaMask.
Users who want to interact with dApps on desktop browsers usually need other wallet extensions or use WalletConnect, which connects Trust Wallet to compatible desktop dApps securely.
Using Trust Wallet on Desktop via WalletConnect
Go to a dApp website that supports WalletConnect.
Select WalletConnect as your login or payment option.
Open Trust Wallet on your mobile device, tap Settings → WalletConnect, and scan the QR code on the website.
Approve the connection in your mobile app. You can now use your wallet to interact with the dApp on desktop without a browser extension.
Key Advantages of Trust Wallet
Full control of private keys.
Multi-chain support, including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Solana, and more.
Secure mobile app with PIN and biometric protection.
Integrated access to dApps without needing an extension.
In short, if you are looking for a Trust Wallet extension for your browser, it does not exist. The recommended way to connect Trust Wallet to desktop dApps is via WalletConnect.
