Creating a multi-coin wallet with Trust Wallet is quick and easy. It allows you to manage a wide variety of cryptocurrencies—all in one secure, self-custodial wallet. Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned crypto user, this step-by-step guide will walk you through how to set up, secure, and personalize your wallet.

1. Creating Your First Multi-Coin Wallet

Step 1: Download Trust Wallet

To get started, download the Trust Wallet app from an official source:

•  Trust Wallet for iOS (App Store)
•  Trust Wallet for Android (Google Play)

⚠️ Important: Always download Trust Wallet from trusted and official sources to ensure your wallet's security.

Step 2: Create a New Wallet

1. Open the Trust Wallet app.
2. On the welcome screen, choose Create a New Wallet (only use "Import" if you're restoring an existing one).
3. Set a secure PIN code to protect access to the app on your device.

Note: Your PIN is stored only on your device. Trust Wallet cannot access, recover, or reset it. If you forget your PIN, the only way to regain access is by restoring your wallet using the 12-word secret phrase.

Next, you’ll be prompted to enable biometric login (like Face ID or fingerprint). You can enable it for easier access, or skip this step if you prefer. The choice is yours.

Once these steps are complete, your wallet is ready to use. You now have full control to send, receive, and manage your crypto assets securely.

2. Understanding and Backing Up Your Recovery Phrase

Trust Wallet has simplified the onboarding process, so you won’t immediately be asked to back up your 12-word secret phrase during setup—but that doesn’t mean you should skip it.

⚠️ Important: Your secret phrase is the only way to recover your wallet.

If it’s lost or stolen, Trust Wallet can’t help recover your funds! You are the sole owner and guardian of your crypto!

How to Find and Back Up Your Secret Phrase:

1. Open your Trust Wallet mobile app and log in using your PIN or biometrics.
2. Tap the wallet name at the top of the main screen.
3. Tap the three vertical dots next to the wallet name.
4. Select Manual.
5. Enter your PIN or password to reveal the 12-word secret phrase.
6. Write it down and store it in a safe, offline location (never store it digitally).

✏️ Tip: You can always return to this screen to view or re-back up your secret phrase if needed.
