Staking rewards are your proportional share of the new coins a network issues to validators. Learn how the math works and the difference between APR and APY, including why 5% APR is about 5.1% APY compounded daily.
A hot wallet is connected to the internet and built for everyday use; a cold wallet keeps keys fully offline for long-term storage. Most people benefit from both — here's how to decide what goes where.
Ten practical rules that address the most common ways self-custody funds are lost: protecting your recovery phrase, verifying addresses, reviewing what you sign, revoking approvals, and the habits that stop scammers cold.
Trust Wallet is a self-custody wallet: your keys stay on your device, and a built-in Security Scanner warns you about known risk signals before you sign. Here is exactly how your crypto is protected — and what remains your responsibility.
The Trust Wallet Security Scanner checks every transaction before you sign it: it simulates the real effect, screens destinations against known scam contracts, and warns on risky token approvals. Here's how it works and what it catches.
A cross-chain swap trades a token on one blockchain for a token on another — like BTC for ETH — in a single transaction, with bridging handled behind the scenes. Learn how it works, the fees involved, and why it takes longer than a same-chain swap.
Swap fees break down into three costs: the network gas fee, a provider or liquidity fee, and spread or price impact. Learn what each one is, where hidden costs come from, and why the quoted "you receive" amount is the number to compare.
You can swap crypto without an exchange account using a self-custody wallet with a built-in swap. Learn how in-wallet swaps work, the steps involved, the fees to expect, and the trade-offs like slippage and expiring quotes.

Staking TRX means freezing your coins to vote for TRON Super Representatives. You earn voting rewards plus free bandwidth and energy for transactions, and unfreezing takes 14 days.
Stake BNB by delegating to a BNB Chain validator directly from a self-custody wallet. Learn how rewards work, why unstaking takes 7 days, and how to stake on-chain from your own keys.
Stake SOL by delegating to a validator directly from your wallet. Your coins never leave your address, rewards arrive every epoch, and unstaking completes at the end of the current epoch, roughly 2 to 3 days.
