How to use the DApp browser on Trust Wallet Android

Accessing the DApp Browser in Trust Wallet

1. Open the Trust Wallet application on your Android device. Ensure that you have the latest version installed from the Google Play Store to access all updated features and security patches.

2. Once inside the app, navigate to the main wallet interface where your asset balances are displayed. Look for the “Browser” icon, typically located at the bottom navigation bar, represented by a compass or globe symbol.

3. Tap on the Browser icon to launch the integrated DApp browser. This built-in feature allows direct interaction with decentralized applications without leaving the Trust Wallet environment.

4. Upon first use, you may be prompted to review permissions or enable connectivity to blockchain networks. Confirm these settings to proceed, ensuring your wallet remains secure while granting necessary access.

5. The browser interface will load with a search bar at the top, supporting both URLs and keyword queries. You can now begin exploring Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, and other supported network-based DApps.

Connecting Your Wallet to a DApp

1. Search for the desired DApp using its official URL or name. For example, typing “Uniswap” or visiting https://app.uniswap.org directly will load the decentralized exchange.

2. After the page loads, look for a “Connect Wallet” button within the DApp’s interface. This is standard across most decentralized platforms and usually located in the top-right corner.

3. When prompted, select “Trust Wallet” from the list of available wallet options. A pop-up from the Trust Wallet app will appear, requesting permission to connect.

4. Review the connection details, including the DApp’s domain and requested permissions. Tap “Connect” to authorize access to your wallet address without exposing private keys.

5. Once connected, the DApp will display your wallet balance and enable functionalities such as swapping tokens, providing liquidity, or interacting with smart contracts.

Performing Transactions via the DApp Browser

1. Navigate to a function within the DApp that requires a blockchain transaction, such as token swapping, staking, or minting NFTs.

2. Configure the transaction parameters, like selecting tokens, entering amounts, or setting slippage tolerance, depending on the DApp’s design.

3. Click the action button (e.g., “Swap,” “Stake,” “Mint”) to initiate the transaction. Trust Wallet will intercept the request and display a confirmation screen.

4. Review the transaction details carefully, including network fees, token amounts, and contract address. Ensure the gas fee is acceptable and the recipient contract is legitimate to avoid losses.

5. Tap “Confirm” to sign and broadcast the transaction to the blockchain. The status can be tracked within the Trust Wallet transaction history or through a block explorer.

Security Best Practices When Using DApps

1. Only visit DApps through verified URLs. Avoid clicking on links from social media, emails, or unknown sources, as phishing sites can mimic legitimate platforms.

2. Check the domain name carefully before connecting your wallet. Scammers often use domains like “unisw4p.com” or “uni-swap.org” to trick users.

3. Revoke unnecessary token approvals regularly. If a DApp no longer needs access to your tokens, use tools like Blockaid or Revoke.cash to remove permissions.

4. Disable clipboard monitoring warnings if prompted by Trust Wallet. Malicious apps can alter copied addresses, redirecting funds to attacker-controlled wallets.

5. Use wallet watch mode for additional security. This allows you to monitor interactions without exposing your seed phrase or private keys.
