3. Install Trust Wallet App
Download and install the Trust Wallet app from its official website or app stores for iOS or Android.

Under the "Settings" tab for the selected wallet, tap "Security."

Never store your private key online or share it with anyone. Keep physical copies in multiple secure locations.

Additional Tips:

• Create a new wallet for each cryptocurrency to avoid security risks.
• Update your Trust Wallet app regularly for security and feature enhancements.
• Be cautious of phishing scams and never enter your private key on unverified websites or platforms.
• If you lose access to your private key, you will not be able to recover your funds.
