Trust Wallet lets you add a custom network when the chain you need is not available in the default network list. On the mobile app, the process is straightforward: open Settings, go to Networks, tap Add Custom Network, and enter the network details.
If you use Trust Wallet for a chain you bridged to, or for a network that is not supported out of the box, adding the correct custom network is the step that makes the wallet usable on that chain.
Adding a network in Trust Wallet means adding the blockchain settings Trust Wallet needs to recognize a specific chain. Once the network is saved, Trust Wallet can display the chain in your wallet interface and let you switch to it when you need to send crypto, receive, or manage compatible assets.
This is different from creating a new wallet. You are not making a separate account; you are telling Trust Wallet how to connect to a blockchain that is not already listed.
Open Trust Wallet on your phone, then tap Settings using the gear icon in the bottom-right corner. From there, tap Networks, then select Add Custom Network. That is the starting point for adding a chain that Trust Wallet does not show by default.
On the custom network screen, enter the network information exactly as provided by the blockchain project or network documentation. This step matters because one wrong value can keep the network from loading correctly.
If the project publishes official network parameters, use those values instead of copying settings from random forums or social posts. A single mismatch can cause failed connections, wrong balances, or transaction errors.
After you enter the details, save the network and return to the Networks list. The new network should now appear in Trust Wallet, and you can select it whenever you need to work on that chain.
If the chain supports tokens that are not visible yet, you may also need to import the token contract or wait for the wallet to refresh. Adding the network and adding a token are related, but they are not the same action.
Trust Wallet on iPhone uses the same general path: open the app, go to Settings, tap Networks, and choose Add Custom Network. The iPhone flow is usually simple once the option is visible.
If you do not see the add-network option on iOS, check for an app update first. If the menu still does not appear, some users report using the Trust Wallet Chrome extension as a workaround for network-related tasks.
That workaround is user-reported rather than universal, so treat it as a fallback if the mobile app does not give you the option you need.
Before you save a custom network in Trust Wallet, confirm the network details from the chain’s official documentation. The most important check is accuracy: the wallet can only connect correctly when the chain parameters match the network you want to use.
If you are using a bridged asset or a token on a lesser-known chain, double-check the network source before entering anything. Wrong network settings are one of the fastest ways to create confusion in a wallet.
Most Trust Wallet network setup issues come down to one of three things: the option is hidden, the values are incorrect, or the chain is not fully loaded after saving.
If you cannot find Add Custom Network, check whether Trust Wallet needs an update. On iPhone, app version differences can affect where menu items appear. If the mobile app still does not show the option, the Chrome extension workaround may help in some cases.
If the network saves but fails to load properly, the RPC URL or Chain ID is usually the problem. Reopen the custom network screen and verify every field character by character.
Adding a network does not automatically make every token visible. If your asset is on that chain but still missing, you may need to import the token manually or refresh the wallet view.
Failed transactions often mean the wallet is on the wrong chain or the network parameters are mismatched. Switch back to the intended network and confirm the settings before trying again.
Use official chain documentation every time you add a custom network in Trust Wallet. That keeps your wallet setup clean and reduces the risk of connecting to the wrong endpoint.
Keep a note of the networks you add, especially if you use multiple chains. For intermediate crypto users, that small habit makes it much easier to manage bridged assets, token imports, and network switching later.
Trust Wallet works best when the network data is accurate and the asset belongs to that chain. Once the network is added correctly, managing that chain becomes much easier.
Open Trust Wallet, tap Settings, tap Networks, and then tap Add Custom Network. Enter the chain’s official network details, save the setup, and the new network should appear in your wallet.
Yes, Trust Wallet on iPhone can add a custom network through Settings and Networks. If the option is not visible, update the app first, and consider the Chrome extension workaround if the mobile menu still does not show it.
Trust Wallet needs the network information for the chain you want to connect to, including the values shown in the custom network screen. Use the official network documentation so the RPC URL, Chain ID, and related fields match exactly.
Adding the network in Trust Wallet does not automatically import every token on that chain. If the asset still does not appear, you may need to add the token manually or confirm that you selected the correct network for that asset.
