Trust Wallet Review Fees Functions Cryptos 2022

Trust Wallet is a mobile-based cryptocurrency wallet. Its primary focus is Ethereum and other Ethereum-based tokens. It is designed in such a way that its native code is both open sourced and closed source. The wallet is closed source for Android (Java) and Open source (Swift) for iOS. Trust is created with a purpose to simplify the way Ethereum tokens are sent, received, and stored on the ETH blockchain.

The wallet has a clean and simple interface that enhances its usability.

The Trust wallet is a mobile wallet built for both Android and iOS. The founder of the wallet, Viktor Radchenko wanted a wallet that could handle ERC20 token transactions comfortably. He has achieved this to a large extent. The wallet was launched in November 2017. It supports 14 tokens, and users can store their private keys on their devices. This wallet partners with other companies to enhance some of its features. For instance, Cyber Network powers its decentralized exchange.

The wallet enables Android users to buy ETH through Changelly, Coinbase, or Shapeshift. In a related development, Binance acquired the Trust wallet in July 2018. This makes the wallet the official wallet for the Binance DEX and Binance Chain. The company stands on its name ‘Trust’ and has held a reputation for not asking for personal information from its users. In addition, the wallet does not hold on to the private keys of its users.

The wallet has taken things a notch higher with the introduction of a DApp Browser. The DApp Browser utilizes Web3 browser. This means that users can interact with decentralized applications directly from the Trust Wallet app. The DApp Browser is an open-source repository where developers can list their applications. The Trust Team, however, certifies each listed application to ensure that they function on Trust Browser on both Android and iOS mobile devices.

The company’s competitors include KeepKey, MyEtherWalletand Exodus.

The Trust Wallet supports Ethereum (ETH), Ethereum Classic (ETC) and all ERC20 and ERC223 tokens. Using your wallet, you will be able to store Binance Coin (BNB), Aion (AION), VeChain (VEN) and many others. In other words, Trust wallet does not support BTC, BCH and other coins outside the ethereum wallet. This could be a huge turnoff if you intend to store these digital assets.
