Sending cryptocurrency with Trust Wallet transfers digital assets from your wallet address to another address on a blockchain network, signed by your private key.
The transaction generates a TxID (hash) that the blockchain network records permanently — this hash is what lets you track and verify the transfer afterward.
Double-Check Before You ConfirmA confirmed blockchain transaction cannot be reversed. Always verify the recipient address and network before sending.
You need a funded Trust Wallet, the recipient’s wallet address, and enough balance to cover network fees. You must also select the correct blockchain network matching the asset standard, such as ERC-20 or BEP-20.
You send crypto in Trust Wallet by selecting the asset, entering the recipient address, choosing the amount, and confirming the transaction with the applicable network fee.
Navigate to your list of held cryptocurrencies.
Choose the token you want to send, e.g. ETH or BNB.
This opens the transfer interface.
Paste it manually or scan the recipient’s QR code.
Define exactly how much you want to transfer.
Confirm the gas cost before proceeding.
Trust Wallet signs the transaction with your private key and broadcasts it to the network.
A wallet address is a public key-derived string that identifies a destination on a blockchain. You use it to receive or send cryptocurrency.
| Network | Example Prefix | Standard |
|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | 0x… | ERC-20 |
| BSC | 0x… | BEP-20 |
| Bitcoin | 1 / bc1 | BTC |
Network selection determines compatibility, fees, and whether the transaction succeeds at all.
| Network | Standard | Fee Token | Speed |
|---|---|---|---|
| Ethereum | ERC-20 | ETH | Medium |
| BSC | BEP-20 | BNB | Fast |
| Polygon | ERC-20 | MATIC | Fast |
Sending to the wrong network causes fund inaccessibility, and Trust Wallet does not correct these mismatches automatically.
A gas fee is the cost required to process a transaction on a blockchain network — validators or miners receive this fee for confirming transactions.
Fee CharacteristicsEthereum uses ETH for gas, BSC uses BNB, and the fee varies depending on network congestion — Ethereum gas can spike above 50 Gwei during periods of high demand.
You track a transaction using a transaction hash (TxID), which uniquely identifies the transfer on the blockchain.
Find it directly in Trust Wallet’s transaction history.
Use Etherscan or BscScan depending on the network.
View the live confirmation status: pending, confirmed, or failed.
You send crypto securely by protecting your private keys, verifying addresses, and avoiding phishing attempts.
Sending crypto to the wrong blockchain network causes asset inaccessibility or loss. Recovery depends on wallet compatibility and private key access.
| Case | Outcome |
|---|---|
| ERC-20 sent to BEP-20 | Recoverable via the same private key |
| Unsupported network | Funds may become inaccessible |
Decentralized Applications (DApps) trigger smart contract transactions that send cryptocurrency automatically based on user approval.
Authorize access from the DApp.
Sign it via your private key.
Tokens transfer automatically once approved.
Example: swapping tokens on PancakeSwap uses BSC and consumes BNB for gas.
Open the app, select the asset, tap Send, enter the recipient address, input the amount, review the network fee, and confirm — Trust Wallet signs and broadcasts the transaction automatically.
Sending to the wrong network can make funds inaccessible. Recovery depends on whether the destination wallet supports the same private key format.
Yes, sending always requires a network gas fee, which varies by blockchain and congestion level — Ethereum fees fluctuate more than BSC or Polygon.
Copy the TxID from your transaction history and paste it into a block explorer like Etherscan or BscScan to see its live status.
Yes, as long as it’s a legitimate DApp — always verify the domain, since approval only signs a transaction and never exposes your private key.
