Trust Wallet is a multi‑chain, non‑custodial cryptocurrency wallet that allows users to store, send, and receive digital assets securely. Originally launched in 2017 as an Ethereum‑only mobile wallet, it supports multiple blockchain networks to access decentralized applications (DApps) and NFTs.[1][2]
History
Trust Wallet was founded in 2017 by Ukrainian developer Viktor Radchenko, a Ukrainian software developer with a background in cybersecurity and mobile applications.[3] Trust Wallet was developed as a mobile wallet for storing ERC-20 and ERC-223 tokens on the Ethereum blockchain. As the cryptocurrency ecosystem grew, the wallet added support for additional blockchains and digital assets, including Solana, non-fungible tokens (NFTs), and allowed users to interact with decentralized applications.[4]
In July 2018, Binance acquired Trust Wallet.[5][6][7][3]
In 2022, Radchenko stepped down from his role to pursue other ventures.[3] Following his departure, Eowyn Chen was appointed CEO of Trust Wallet.[8]
In December 2025, Trust Wallet Chrome extension was hacked, and as a result, users lost $7 million in funds due to seed phrase compromise.[9]
