Plain English
Trust Wallet is a multi-chain self-custody wallet acquired by Binance in 2018. Mobile-first (iOS and Android) with a browser extension added later. Supports 100+ blockchains including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, BNB Chain, and many smaller chains.
How it actually works
Self-custody with seed-phrase backup. Built-in staking for proof-of-stake assets, NFT viewing, dApp browser inside the mobile app, and a swap aggregator. Trust Wallet Token (TWT) is the BNB Chain governance/utility token. The wallet is open-source.
What it means for you
Trust Wallet is the most-installed mobile crypto wallet, especially strong in emerging markets and for BNB Chain users. For HNW desktop DeFi, MetaMask or Rabby is preferred for browser-based dApp interactions. Trust Wallet shines on mobile for simpler wallet operations and multi-chain access in one app.
