What Is a Custom Network?

A custom network is a blockchain network that is not included by default in your wallet. By adding it manually, you can expand your access to different blockchains, tokens, and decentralized applications (dApps).

Adding custom networks in Trust Wallet allows you to:

• Access tokens on additional blockchains
• Interact with dApps on specific networks
• Manage a more diverse crypto portfolio

⚠️ Important:

Adding a custom network only enables visibility and interaction. It does not verify the legitimacy or safety of the network or its tokens.

Adding Custom Network is currently available only on Android devices, with iOS support coming soon!

Step-by-Step Guide to Adding a Custom Network

Follow these steps to add a custom network in the Trust Wallet mobile app:

Step 1: Open the Custom Network Screen

1. Open Trust Wallet on your mobile device.
2. Tap the Manage Crypto
3. Tap the “+” icon (top right corner on the main wallet screen).
4. Switch from the Token tab to the Network tab (top right of the screen).

Where to Find Network Details

To add a custom network, you need accurate network parameters. A commonly used resource is Chainlist, a directory of EVM-compatible networks.

Basic steps:

1. Visit Chainlist (chainlist.org).
2. Search for the network you want to add.
3. Look for an RPC URL with a green status indicator.
4. Copy the network details provided.

Tip:

Always use trusted sources, such as official project websites or reputable directories, when copying network details.

Step 2: Enter the Network Details

1. Ensure the correct network type is selected.
2. Enter the required details:
   • Network Name
   • Network Symbol
   • RPC URL (Node URL)
   • Chain ID
   • Block Explorer URL (optional)
3. Tap Save to add the custom network.

⚠️ Important:

Make sure all network details are accurate. Incorrect information may prevent the network from working properly.

Step 3: Network Successfully Added

Once saved, the custom network will be available in your wallet.

You can now:

• Add tokens on that network
• Interact with supported dApps
• Manage assets across multiple blockchains

⚠️ Note:

If the network is not verified in the Trust Wallet assets repository, token prices and icons may not display.

Security Tips and Important Notes

Adding custom networks introduces flexibility—but also risk. Follow these best practices:

• Verify sources: Only use RPC URLs from official or trusted sources
• Avoid unknown networks: Unverified networks may expose you to scams or unreliable infrastructure
• Keep your app updated: Use the latest version of Trust Wallet for improved security and compatibility
• Be cautious with dApps: Interacting with unknown dApps on custom networks may carry risks

⚠️ Important:

Trust Wallet does not control or verify custom networks. You are responsible for ensuring the network is legitimate and safe to use.

Troubleshooting Common Issues

If you encounter issues while adding a custom network:

• Double-check all network details for accuracy
• Ensure you have a stable internet connection
• Restart the Trust Wallet app and try again
• Update the app to the latest version

FAQ

Q: Why isn’t my custom network working after adding it?

Most issues are caused by incorrect network details. Double-check the RPC URL, Chain ID, and other fields.

Q: Can Trust Wallet verify custom networks for me?

No. Trust Wallet does not verify or approve custom networks. You must ensure the information is correct and from a trusted source.

Q: Why don’t I see token prices or icons?

If the network is not verified in Trust Wallet’s repository, price data and icons may not be available.

Q: Is adding a custom network safe?

It can be safe if you use trusted sources. However, adding unreliable networks may expose you to risks.

Q: Can I remove a custom network later?

Yes. You can manage or remove networks from the wallet settings.

⚠️ Key Takeaway

Adding a custom network expands what you can do in Trust Wallet—but it also comes with responsibility.

Always verify network details and use trusted sources, because in a non-custodial wallet, your security depends entirely on your decisions.
