Download and install Trust Wallet

To download and install Trust Wallet please follow the instructions below:

1. Find a Trust Wallet application on App Store or Google Play, download and install it on your device. Trust Wallet can also be installed as an extension in the Chrome shop.

2. Open the application on your smartphone and click the «Create a new wallet» button.

3. The system will ask you to create a 6-digit secret code to unlock and confirm transactions.

4. Next you will need to set a seed phrase (12 words that will allow you to recover your wallet in case you lose your smartphone where the app was installed).

NOTE: The seed phrase is the main key to the wallet and the funds in it. Therefore, you need to ensure that it is stored securely. Follow a few simple rules and your assets will be well protected:

Write down the seed phrase on a piece of paper and keep it in a safe place. If you want extra security, write it down on several pieces of paper and store it in 2-3 different places.
Save the seed phrase so that no one but you will ever have access to it.
Under no circumstances share the seed phrase with third persons.

5. The final step of creating the wallet will be the verification of the seed phrase: you need to put all 12 words in the right order.

6. After verification, your wallet account will be created: you can start working.
