How to use multiple wallets in Trust Wallet? How to manage different accounts?

Creating Multiple Wallets in Trust Wallet

1. Open the Trust Wallet application on your mobile device and navigate to the wallet dashboard.

2. Tap the wallet icon located in the top-left corner to access the wallet selector screen.

3. Select the “+” button or “Add Wallet” option, depending on your app version.

4. Choose a blockchain network such as Ethereum, BSC, Polygon, or Solana from the list of supported chains.

5. Confirm creation by tapping “Create Wallet”, which generates a new set of private keys and a unique address.

6. Write down and securely store the 12-word recovery phrase associated with each newly created wallet.

Switching Between Wallets Seamlessly

1. Return to the main interface and tap the wallet name displayed at the top center of the screen.

2. A dropdown or slide-up panel appears showing all active wallets across different networks.

3. Scroll through the list and select the desired wallet to load its balance, transaction history, and token list.

4. Each wallet maintains independent balances, tokens, and dApp connection permissions.

5. The currently active wallet is highlighted with a green checkmark next to its name.

Managing Accounts Within a Single Blockchain

1. For Ethereum-compatible chains, go to Settings > Wallets > Advanced > “Add Account”.

2. This creates an additional address derived from the same seed phrase but with a different index.

3. Each account shares the same recovery phrase but operates with distinct public addresses.

4. Transactions sent from one account do not affect the balance or nonce of another.

5. Users must manually track which account holds specific tokens or NFTs.

Importing External Wallets into Trust Wallet

1. Access the “Import Wallet” option via the wallet selector screen.

2. Enter a valid 12-word mnemonic phrase or private key corresponding to an existing wallet.

3. Select the correct network before confirming import to avoid misalignment of assets.

4. Imported wallets appear alongside native ones and function identically after setup.

5. Never import a wallet using a phrase already used elsewhere without full backup verification.

Securing Multi-Wallet Setups

1. Avoid storing multiple recovery phrases in the same digital location or unencrypted note.

2. Use hardware wallet integration where possible for high-value wallets.

3. Disable biometric login for wallets holding sensitive or large-value assets.

4. Regularly audit token holdings per wallet to detect unauthorized transfers or misdirected deposits.

5. Label each wallet clearly within Trust Wallet settings to prevent accidental use during transactions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Can I delete a wallet from Trust Wallet?A: Yes. Go to Wallet Settings > Delete Wallet. This action removes the wallet from the interface but does not erase the blockchain record or associated assets.

Q: Do imported wallets share the same security level as newly created ones?A: They inherit identical cryptographic protections, but their security depends entirely on how the original phrase or key was stored prior to import.

Q: Why does my Solana wallet show zero balance while my Ethereum wallet displays tokens?A: Each wallet is isolated per chain. Tokens on Ethereum cannot appear in Solana unless bridged explicitly through a cross-chain protocol.

Q: Is it safe to use the same 12-word phrase for multiple wallets on different networks?A: It is technically possible and common, but doing so links all those wallets under one point of failure. Compromise of the phrase exposes every derived wallet.
