Trust Wallet
Decentralization is one of the major features of the blockchain and cryptocurrency, so having a decentralized cryptocurrency wallet where everyone owns their wallet and their coin is important. Trust Wallet is a decentralized multi-coin (crypto) wallet that allows people to store, send, receive, exchange and a built-in Web3 browser that allows users to access third party platform (Dapps) with a single wallet. Trust wallet gives users their private keys and so holds nothing for the users.
Trust wallet was acquired by Binance in 2018 making it Binance official decentralized wallet. It gives users access to cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Doge, Tron, Binance Chain tokens, Ethereum contract tokens, Revecoin, EOS and EOS tokens, Cosmos (ATOM), Binance Classic, and so on. Trust Wallet also allows people to stake their coins and perform other activities.
Importance of Trust Wallet
- Wallet is decentralized and allows users to hold their keys to their wallets.
- Users have full control of their wallet and funds.
- Users can have access to DApps unlike centralized wallet
- No need to submit personal data unlike centralized wallet and exchanges that requires KYC.
- Allowing the access to cryptocurrency easier.
