Among multi-coin, do-it-all crypto wallets, Trust Wallet has been around for quite a while and provides that classic Swiss Army Knife approach to managing crypto. It is in fact a combination of multi-network tracking, swaps, buy/selling, staking, news and browser access for defi additional features.
The nice thing about Trust that stands out the most right away is the fact that is just covers so many coins and tokens. The primary bulk of its inventory are, no surprise, ETH and BinanceSmartChain tokens, but there is also a good number of other chains too, including Litecoin, Doge, Nano, SOL, Polygon and more.
Generally, the coins or tokens you're not going to find on Trust Wallet are those really weird, esoteric coins that just aren't on any major exchanges or wallets at all. That's where you use tools like Vidulum Wallet, which I covered in a previous article.
Trust does work with multiple platforms, including the major mobile ones as well as browser extensions and stand-alone.
Multi-Wallet Features
Trust is capable of not just handling multiple wallet addresses for the same app, it also can import and help manage other wallets too. As you can see in the image example, I've imported and old Atomic Wallet account into mine, giving me access of holdings there under one umbrella instead of bumbling between multiple wallets. Additionally, at least with Apple iOS, I have the added benefit of iCloud connection backup too for security and redundancy.
Like most advanced wallets, Trust provides a good amount of features for connection and for updating communication pushed back to the user. There is also plenty of flexibility for tracking frequent connections, addresses, notices and more. Compatibility easily works with QR systems and there are advanced security features as well.
Another big feature of Trust Wallet involves there heavy emphasis on social media connections. Not that I'm a big fan of telling everyone what or where my crypto wallet is, but for those who are heavily connected with communities online or may be leading those with input on crypto directions, the social media options come in handy.
Further Investing, Staking & Holdings Growth
While I can't speak to where this is fully available (check your own region rules), Trust Wallet definitely provides access to crypto staking through a number of different options. Most are really defi connections to third party staking tools, but they do provide a notable range of choices.
Browser and Discover Features
Finally, there is now a wider connection to outside information, news, marketing and tracking. Users should be careful what they connect there wallet too as Trust definitely makes it easy to integrate the actual wallet account with those imported features from third party marketing as seen here.
The actual browser capability works just like a web browser otherwise, connecting to any site the user inputs or links to from other features within the wallet itself.
Overall Review
In total, I think the Trust Wallet works pretty well for a generalist approach to crypto. It has a wide range of coverage and token compatibility, it houses a number of useful features, and users can use it as a launching pad for deeper exploration into crypto. There is also the added ApplePay connection for users, making it easier to enter fiat into crypto through Trust Wallet, at least for Apple iOS users. Trust is a bit lacking on detailed history of transactions; bigger ones shows up but smaller transactions just appear without detail. It does take a bit of getting used to on mobile, but transactions work fast. I haven't yet had any issues with a lost transaction that I either sent from or received in Trust, and I've been using it for extra crypto deposits from a lot of faucet and oddball sources for two years now. There are better options, but for those who just want most of the crypto house in one place, Trust Wallet does the job.
