How to use the "Discover" tab on Trust Wallet? (DeFi Apps)

Accessing the Discover Tab

1. Open the Trust Wallet application on your mobile device.

2. Ensure your wallet is unlocked using your passcode, biometric authentication, or recovery phrase.

3. Tap the bottom navigation bar icon labeled Discover, which resembles a compass.

4. The interface loads a curated list of decentralized applications categorized by function and blockchain network.

5. Scroll vertically to browse available DeFi protocols without requiring external browser redirection.

Browsing DeFi Applications

1. Categories such as Lending, Swapping, Yield Farming, and Staking appear as horizontal scrollable tiles.

2. Each tile displays the app logo, name, supported chains (e.g., Ethereum, BSC, Polygon), and a brief description.

3. Tapping a tile opens a detailed view showing contract verification status, user rating, and last updated timestamp.

4. Verified apps show a green checkmark badge next to the name, indicating Trust Wallet’s internal security review.

5. Unverified entries display a warning icon and require manual contract address confirmation before interaction.

Connecting Wallets to DeFi Protocols

1. Select a DeFi app from the Discover tab to enter its dedicated page.

2. Tap the Connect Wallet button located prominently at the top or center of the screen.

3. A modal appears listing compatible wallets — choose Trust Wallet to initiate deep-linking.

4. The app triggers an in-app browser session with injected Web3 provider access, enabling seamless signing of transactions.

5. No private keys are exposed during this process; all signature requests route through Trust Wallet’s secure signing layer.

Filtering and Searching DeFi Apps

1. Use the search bar at the top of the Discover tab to type keywords like “Uniswap”, “Aave”, or “Sushi”.

2. Results include both mainnet and testnet versions where applicable, differentiated by chain labels.

3. Tap the filter icon (three horizontal lines) to narrow results by chain, category, or verification status.

4. Filtering by Ethereum Mainnet excludes EVM-compatible alternatives unless explicitly selected.

5. Sorting options are not user-adjustable; Trust Wallet applies internal relevance scoring based on usage frequency and audit history.
