An open-source mobile wallet covering a very wide range of chains and tokens, owned by Binance and operating as a separate brand.
Our assessment
Trust Wallet is the mobile-first counterpart to MetaMask and the other wallet here that passed every indicator. Its source, security disclosure, documentation and legal terms are all public, which is not something the average mobile wallet with a hundred million installs can say.
Owned by an exchange, and open anyway
Trust Wallet was acquired by Binance in 2018 and operates as a separate brand. Exchange ownership is worth knowing — it shapes which assets get promoted and which integrations appear first — but it has not closed the code, which is the outcome that matters for our openness pillar.
Breadth is the product
Coverage spans a very large number of chains and tokens including non-EVM networks, with staking and dapp browsing built in. That breadth is what a mobile user actually wants: one app that does not have to be replaced every time they touch a new chain.
The hot wallet caveat, on a phone
Keys live on a device that is also running a messaging app, a browser and whatever else was installed last week. Mobile operating systems isolate apps well, but the wallet is only as safe as the phone. Use it for working balances and keep long-term holdings on a hardware device.
Who it suits
Trust Wallet fits mobile users who want one open-source app covering many chains, including people who arrived through Binance. Desktop-centric DeFi users are better served by MetaMask or Rabby; Bitcoin-only holders by Sparrow, Electrum or BlueWallet.

Frequently asked
Does this score mean Trust Wallet is safe?
No. It measures what a user can verify before installing: published source, documented security posture, open documentation and an identifiable publisher. Runtime key handling is not tested by us.
Why does open source matter for a wallet?
It is the one substantive property an outsider can check without reverse-engineering the app. Everything else requires trusting the publisher or a third-party audit.
What would raise this score?
Publishing source, a dedicated security page, open documentation and terms at stable public addresses — all checkable by anyone.
