1. What Is a Trust Handle?
A Trust Handle is a human-readable wallet address ending in @trust — for example, yourname@trust. Trust Handles simplify crypto transactions by replacing long, complex wallet addresses with a short, memorable format — similar to an email address.
Trust Handles are linked to a domain (the web address that anchors your handle — e.g. trust) that must be renewed annually,
Instead of sharing an address like 0x4bbeEB066eD09B7AEd07bF39EEe0460DFa26150, you share yourname@trust.
Trust Handles work across multiple blockchain networks, so the same handle can be used to receive different cryptocurrencies without needing to share a separate address for each chain.
📋 Note: Trust Handles are designed to improve usability — making crypto transactions more accessible for everyone, regardless of technical experience.
2. How to Create a Trust Handle
Before you begin: Make sure you are using the latest version of Trust Wallet.
Open Trust Wallet and tap the Settings icon (⚙ gear icon) in the top corner.
Select Trust Handles.
Tap Register Handle.
Type your desired handle name and tap Continue.
Set a recovery method for your handle when prompted.
Tap Create Handle to confirm and register your @trust handle.
📋 Note: Choose a handle name that is unique and easy to remember. Once registered, your @trust handle will be permanently linked to your wallet. Handle names cannot be changed after registration.
3. How Many Addresses Can Be Mapped to a Trust Handle?
A single Trust Handle can be mapped to up to 200 wallet addresses — one address per blockchain network. For example, one Trust Handle can hold one BTC (Bitcoin) address, one ETH (Ether / Ethereum) address, one SOL (Solana) address, and so on.
Important rules to know:
One address per chain: A Trust Handle supports only one address per blockchain network. For example, a single Trust Handle cannot have two BTC addresses mapped to it — there would be no way for the network to determine which BTC address should receive a payment.
Domain renewal required: Trust Handles are linked to a domain that must be renewed annually. If the domain lapses for 90 days without renewal, all handles registered under that domain will be burned (permanently deleted and unrecoverable).
No limit on handles per domain: There is no limit on the number of Trust Handles that can be registered under a single domain.
No limit on handles per FIO key: There is no limit on the number of Trust Handles that a single FIO (Frequency Input/Output — the blockchain protocol that powers Trust Handles and human-readable crypto addresses) wallet or public key can register.
