How To Add Custom Tokens To Trust Wallet (Guide) - IsItCrypto (1)

Trust Wallet is one of the leading mobile crypto wallets and one of the easiest wallets to use when storing and trading various supported cryptocurrencies, especially for new crypto investors in the DeFi ecosystem.

Like with most crypto wallets out there, Trust Wallet is mostly used by crypto investors to purchase and store tokens/coins (via DEXes) which are not yet available on leading centralized exchanges like Binance, Coinbase, Kucoin amongst others.

By default, Trust Wallet only shows the balances of four cryptocurrencies on its home screen – Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Beacon Chain (BEP2 BNB), and BNB Smart Chain (BEP20 BNB).

If you just purchased some amounts of a particular token on Trust Wallet via decentralized exchanges like PancakeSwap or UniSwap, you would most likely not see the token’s balance and its current worth on the homepage and this is because Trust Wallet doesn’t automatically add this on the home screen by default.

If you want to show the balance and real-time worth (and price) of the token you just purchased, you need to add the token to your wallet balances on Trust Wallet manually.

In this article, we will show you just how to add a custom token to Trust Wallet easily. You will also learn how to find the contract address of any token you want to add to the Trust Wallet app.

How To Add Custom Tokens To Trust Wallet (Complete Guide)

Below is a step-by-step guide on how to add a custom token to the Trust Wallet app for both Android and iPhones.

Step 1: Copy the token’s contract address

The first step to adding a custom token to your wallet on Trust Wallet is to get the contract address of the token you want to add to the list of balances.

The best method to do this is by using Coinmarketcap.com. Alternatively, you can also useCoinGecko,Bscscan.com(if the token is on the Binance Smart Chain), andEtherscan.io(if the token is on the Ethereum blockchain) to get the contract address of a token.

To copy the contract address of the token you want to add to Trust Wallet, go to the CoinmarketCap website on your browser (coinmarketcap.com) and click on the[Search]icon in the top right corner.

If you couldn’t find the token on CoinMarketCap via search, that means the token has not yet been listed on the website and it may be undergoing review by the CoinMarketCap team (if it was submitted by the token devs). In this case, you have to try other methods to get the token contract address.

CoinGecko is also another crypto platform where you can also get the contract address of the token you want to add to Trust Wallet since they have over 11k tokens (and coins) alongside their information and price listed on the website.

To copy a token’s contract address from CoinGecko, go to the CoinGecko website (coingecko.com) and tap on the search box.

Just in case CoinGecko too doesn’t work, you can get the token’s contract address by either asking in the Telegram or Discord chat of the project for the contract address or you can go on the token’s website and copy the contract address there. In most cases, the contract address should be available on the official website of the project.

Step 2: Launch Trust Wallet and click on the [Filter] icon

The next step is to launch the Trust Wallet app on your phone and click on the [Filter] icon located at the top right corner of the Trust Wallet home screen.
