How to use Uniswap with Trust Wallet?

Connecting Trust Wallet to Uniswap

1. Open the Trust Wallet app on your mobile device and ensure you are on the main wallet screen. Navigate to the built-in browser feature, which is typically represented by a globe icon in the bottom menu.

2. In the browser, type app.uniswap.org and wait for the website to load completely. Avoid clicking on any sponsored links or phishing domains that mimic the official site.

3. Once the Uniswap interface appears, locate and tap the 'Connect Wallet' button, usually found in the top-right corner of the page. A list of available wallet connection options will appear.

4. Select 'WalletConnect' from the list. This will generate a QR code on the screen. Return to the Trust Wallet app and open the WalletConnect scanner, often accessible via a scanner icon in the browser toolbar.

5. Point your phone’s camera at the QR code displayed on Uniswap’s website. After scanning, Trust Wallet will prompt you to confirm the connection. Approve the request to establish a secure link between Trust Wallet and Uniswap.

Swapping Tokens on Uniswap via Trust Wallet

1. With the wallet successfully connected, return to the Uniswap interface in the Trust Wallet browser. Click on the 'Swap' tab located at the top of the dashboard.

2. Choose the cryptocurrency you want to trade from your wallet by clicking the 'Select a token' field under 'From.' A list of supported tokens in your wallet will appear; pick the one you wish to exchange.

3. Next, select the token you want to receive by clicking the second 'Select a token' field under 'To.' You can search for specific tokens using their symbol or contract address if they are not immediately visible.

4. Enter the amount you’d like to swap. The interface will automatically calculate the estimated output, factoring in network fees and slippage. Review the price impact and transaction details carefully.

5. Tap 'Swap' and confirm the transaction in Trust Wallet when prompted. You may need to adjust gas fees depending on Ethereum network congestion. Once confirmed, the swap will be processed on-chain.

Managing Liquidity with Trust Wallet on Uniswap

1. To provide liquidity, navigate to the 'Pool' tab within the Uniswap app. If you're new to a pair, click 'New Position' to start adding funds to a liquidity pool.

2. Select two tokens you want to deposit as a pair. Uniswap will guide you to input amounts for both tokens, maintaining the correct ratio based on current market prices.

3. After entering the amounts, review the estimated share of the pool you’ll own and the associated fees. Confirm that the tokens are correctly listed and the values match your intent.

4. Click 'Supply' and approve each token individually through Trust Wallet if required. Token approvals are one-time actions unless you set a custom spending limit.

5. Finalize the transaction by confirming it in Trust Wallet. Once mined, you'll receive LP (liquidity provider) tokens representing your stake in the pool, which remain in your connected wallet.

Security Best Practices When Using Uniswap with Trust Wallet

1. Always double-check the URL before connecting. Scammers often create fake versions of Uniswap to steal private keys or drain wallets through malicious contracts.

2. Never share your 12-word recovery phrase with anyone. Trust Wallet will never ask for it, and no legitimate service should require it.

3. Enable two-factor authentication within Trust Wallet settings if available, and keep your device's operating system and app updated to protect against vulnerabilities.

4. Review every transaction detail before approving it in Trust Wallet. Malicious websites can manipulate swap routes or insert hidden transfers.

5. Only interact with verified tokens and well-known liquidity pools to reduce exposure to scams or rug pulls.
