As you probably know from our Guide to Setting Up MetaMask, a wallet is a fundamental tool required for you in order to interact with decentralized applications in web3 as well as store your cryptocurrency tokens. If you are not a fan of MetaMask, 🙄 then Trust Wallet is another trustworthy wallet option for you to consider. 😁 Follow along in this guide which will lead you through the process of setting up a Trust Wallet so that you can connect to most web3 apps!
Trust Wallet is a mobile cryptocurrency wallet application available on iOS and Android. The main benefit of Trust Wallet is that it is very simple to use to connect to multiple networks such as BSC, ETH, Polygon, and others! 😮 For this tutorial we will install Trust Wallet on our Android device 📱. To install Trust Wallet, simply navigate to their official website, trustwallet.com 🤩
As mentioned earlier, we’ll proceed with our tutorial on Android. Once you’ve navigated to the appropriate installation source, go ahead and “Install” the Trust Wallet application on your mobile device 👌.
Once the installation is complete, open up the Trust Wallet application. The very first thing you will see is the following view. Proceed by clicking the “CREATE A NEW WALLET” button. If you already had a wallet, then you could use the other option “I already have a wallet”.
Review the terms of service, tick the agreement checkbox, then press “CONTINUE”.
⚠️Warning: The next step is very important! You will be given a set of secret words which will represent your very own private key to your wallet.
Do not ever share these words with anyone, the only time you will need your private key is if you are trying to recover your wallet. Remember, whoever controls the key controls the wallet and the funds in that wallet. If you lose these words, you will essentially lose access to all funds stored in the wallet and it will be unrecoverable due to the secure nature of the blockchain. It is recommended to write these words down and store them away from prying eyes. Saving the secret words on your computer or mobile device is not advisable, because if it becomes compromised then your funds will be at risk. Tick the checkbox to confirm you understand this responsibility, then press “CONTINUE”!
For the following steps, as a protective measure, Trust Wallet did not allow us to take a screenshot on our device. On the next screen, you will be shown 12 secret words. Write them down (the order matters) and store them for safekeeping. Simply follow the instructions given by Trust Wallet which will require you to enter these words in the same order. Once you confirm, you’re done! 😀
Congratulations! You now have a fully functioning cryptocurrency wallet. In the next couple of sections we’ll show you the bare minimum steps to get you ready for using Polygon and PolyCrystal.Finance!
On Polygon, $MATIC is the token that you will need to pay for transactions. You’ll want these tokens added to your wallet so that you can conveniently observe your balance in Trust Wallet at any time. Locate the following icon in your device to proceed.
This will bring you to the menu where you can search for various tokens. $MATIC is well known and recognized, so it is easy to find it in this list by searching for “MATIC”. In this case, we are interested in the $MATIC token on the Polygon network. Lets enable this token so it always shows up in our wallet 👍
Now that you have successfully set up Trust Wallet, you are ready to begin your web3 journey. If you want to seriously start investing in DeFi, you will want to purchase some cryptocurrency for fiat on an exchange such as Binance.com and send it over to your address on the Polygon.
