Why Can't I Find A Token On Trust Wallet Swaps?

Trust Wallet swaps rely on decentralized exchanges (DEXs) to aggregate liquidity. If you can't find a specific token in the swap feature, it’s likely because the token lacks sufficient liquidity on these DEXs.

Low liquidity means there aren’t enough buyers or sellers for that token, which makes it unavailable for swapping. Additionally, the token might be new or not listed on the DEX.

What Is Slippage?

Slippage refers to the difference between the expected price of a trade and the price at which the trade is executed. It can occur due to market volatility or insufficient liquidity. You can adjust the slippage tolerance in the swap settings to minimize the impact of slippage

Does Trust Wallet Charge A Fee On Swaps?

Trust Wallet does not charge any additional fees for swapping tokens within the app. Users, however, are required to pay the network fee (also known as gas fees) associated with the blockchain network being used for the swap transaction. These network fees are paid to the validators or miners who process transactions on the blockchain. The gas fees vary based on the blockchain's current traffic and network congestion, but Trust Wallet itself does not take any extra fees for facilitating the swap.

Remember, Trust Wallet is a non-custodial wallet, which means you are responsible for securing your recovery phrase and private keys. Always keep them safe and never share them with anyone.
