How to Add Ethereum (ETH) to Your Trust Wallet

Trust Wallet is one of the most widely used cryptocurrency wallets, supporting a vast range of digital assets including Ethereum (ETH). Adding ETH to your Trust Wallet is a straightforward process, but it's essential to follow each step carefully to ensure the safety and accuracy of your transaction. This guide walks you through the complete procedure with detailed steps.

Setting Up Trust Wallet

2. Open the app and select 'Create a New Wallet' if you’re a new user. Make sure you are in a secure environment when doing this.

3. Set up a strong password to protect your wallet access on the device.

4. Write down your 12-word recovery phrase in the exact order shown. Never store it digitally or share it with anyone.

5. Confirm the recovery phrase within the app by selecting the words in the correct sequence to verify backup accuracy.

Accessing Your Ethereum Wallet

2. Type “Ethereum” or “ETH” into the search field. The Ethereum network should appear as an option.

3. Tap on Ethereum to enable it if it’s not already visible in your wallet list.

4. After enabling, your Ethereum wallet will be displayed with its balance and a receive button.

5. You can now view your Ethereum public address, which starts with “0x”, by tapping the “Receive” button.

Sending ETH to Your Trust Wallet

2. If transferring from an exchange like Binance or Coinbase, go to your account and initiate a withdrawal.

3. Select Ethereum (ETH) as the withdrawal currency and paste your Trust Wallet address in the recipient field.

4. Choose the appropriate network—ensure it matches the network supported by Trust Wallet, typically ERC-20 for ETH.

5. Enter the amount you wish to transfer, double-check all details, and confirm the transaction. Always send a small test amount first when making a new transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use the same Trust Wallet for multiple blockchains?

Yes, Trust Wallet supports multiple blockchains including Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and many others. Each asset operates on its respective network, and you can manage them all within the same app interface.

What should I do if I lose my recovery phrase?

If you lose your recovery phrase, you risk permanent loss of access to your funds. Trust Wallet does not have access to your private keys or recovery information. It is crucial to keep your recovery phrase safe and never disclose it.

Is it safe to store ETH in Trust Wallet long-term?

Trust Wallet is a non-custodial wallet, meaning you control your private keys. While it is secure for daily use, storing large amounts of cryptocurrency long-term is often safer in a hardware wallet for added protection against device breaches.

Why isn’t my ETH showing up after sending?

Delays can occur due to network congestion or incorrect network selection. Verify that the transaction was sent on the Ethereum network (ERC-20) and check the status using a blockchain explorer like Etherscan by entering your wallet address.
