Trust Wallet
Data verified on unchanged since the sources
Worth it if you want a very broad multichain mobile wallet (100+ blockchains, EVM and non-EVM) with a built-in dApp browser, swaps and staking and a beginner-friendly experience.
Avoid it if you require a fully open-source app (only the Wallet Core library is) or consider the historical ties to Binance a dealbreaker.
Trust Wallet is a multichain non-custodial self-custody mobile wallet, created in 2017 by Viktor Radchenko and acquired by Binance in 2018 (today it operates as an independent entity). It supports millions of tokens across 100+ blockchains, both EVM and non-EVM, with a built-in dApp browser, swaps and staking directly in the app. Private keys stay on the device, protected by a 12-word recovery phrase. It is available as a mobile app and a browser extension. Its key management is built on Wallet Core, an open-source MIT-licensed library maintained publicly on GitHub.

Verdict
Score 4.3/5, very strong profile. In its favour: very broad multichain support (100+ blockchains, EVM and non-EVM); built-in dApp browser, swaps and staking; simple mobile experience for beginners. The trade-off to weigh: client app not fully open-source (Wallet Core library is, not the whole app); historical ties to Binance; seed phrase is the user's responsibility.
On the Sovereignty lens the score is 3.9/5 (very strong): the strength is fund control (5.0/5), while trustless / auditability (2.5/5) is the weak link.

No. Trust Wallet is a non-custodial self-custody wallet: your private keys and 12-word recovery phrase stay on your device, the company has no access to your funds.
Which blockchains does Trust Wallet support?

Partly. Its key management is built on Wallet Core, an MIT-licensed open-source library on GitHub, but the client app is not fully open-source. That's why we classify it as partially open-source.
