Cryptocurrency wallets are essential tools for managing digital assets, offering flexibility and security. If you're transitioning from using the Trust Wallet Browser Extension to the Mobile App, transferring your funds is simple. Whether you're reorganizing your crypto holdings or switching devices, this guide will help you complete the process efficiently while keeping your assets secure.

Why Move Assets Between Wallets?

There are several reasons you might want to move your crypto from one wallet to another. You may be upgrading your security, consolidating funds, or simply switching from a desktop-based Browser Extension to the convenience of a Mobile App. Whatever the reason, it's important to handle the transfer carefully to avoid errors or loss of funds.

Preparing for the Transfer

Before starting, ensure that:

1. Both your Trust Wallet Browser Extension and Mobile App are installed and updated to their latest versions.

2. You have access to both wallets and know their recovery phrases. These phrases are critical for regaining access if something goes wrong.

3. The network fees for transferring crypto are accounted for in your wallet balance.

Step-by-Step Guide: Moving Assets Safely

1. Set Up Your New Wallet on the Mobile App

If you haven't already created a wallet on the Trust Wallet mobile app, follow these steps:

• Open the app and tap “Settings.”

• Select “Wallets” and tap the “+” icon.

• Choose “Create a New Wallet” and follow the prompts to generate a recovery phrase.

• Write down your recovery phrase and store it securely offline.

2. Locate Your Receiving Address

To transfer funds into your new wallet:

• Open the Trust Wallet Mobile App and select “Receive” from the home screen.

• Search for the cryptocurrency you want to transfer.

• Copy the deposit address displayed on-screen.

3. Initiate the Transfer from Your Browser Extension

Now, switch to your Trust Wallet Browser Extension:

• Open the Trust Wallet Browser Extension and select “Send.”

• Choose the asset you want to transfer.

• Paste your mobile app's deposit address into the recipient field.

• Enter the amount you wish to send.

• Review transaction details carefully, including network fees, before confirming.

4. Confirm and Monitor Your Transaction

After sending, your transaction will be broadcasted on the blockchain. You can monitor its status by:

• Checking transaction details in your Browser Extension under “History.”

• Viewing updates in your mobile app once funds arrive.

Tips for a Smooth Transfer

Here are some practical tips to ensure everything goes as planned:

1. Double-check wallet addresses: Crypto transactions are irreversible, so verify recipient addresses carefully.

2. Use appropriate networks: Ensure you're selecting compatible blockchain networks when transferring tokens (e.g. Ethereum for ERC-20 tokens).

3. Save screenshots: Document key steps during setup or transactions for reference.

If you're unsure about any step, consult Trust Wallet's official support resources for guidance.
