How to Add a Custom Network on the Trust Wallet Mobile App

Adding custom networks to your Trust Wallet opens up a world of possibilities for managing diverse cryptocurrencies and interacting with decentralized applications (dApps) across various blockchains. This guide will walk you through the process of adding a custom network to your Trust Wallet mobile app, enabling you to expand your crypto portfolio and explore new opportunities in the blockchain space.

Understanding Custom Networks

• Access tokens on different blockchains.

2. Search for the network you want to add.

3. Look for an RPC URL with a green status indicator.
