The most popular provider of self-custodial and multi-chain wallets, Trust Wallet, has added support for Ledger hardware to the Trust Wallet Browser Extension. While using the Trust Wallet Browser Extension, users of Trust Wallet can now take advantage of an extra layer of security for their digital assets provided by hardware solutions. This new development aims to give users a higher level of control over the safety of their digital assets.
Trust Wallet ranks among the largest self-custodial wallets in the world, with over 60 million downloads and 10 million users that are actively using the wallet on a monthly basis. Trust Wallet now offers users of Ledger a streamlined and adaptable gateway through which they can access decentralized applications (dApps), manage their assets, and transfer cryptocurrencies between online and offline wallets.
Eric Chang, Head of Product at Trust Wallet, said: “We are happy to add support for Ledger as it provides another option for our users to manage their keys and securely engage with Web3. Integrating Trust Wallet and a leading hardware wallet like Ledger provides people with the best balance of convenience, enhanced security, and functionality. People can access the wide range of new tokens, networks, and dApps connections through an added security layer – all in one place from their browser.”
A More Comprehensive Wallet Experience
Trust Wallet users are ensured to have a well-balanced combination of Web3 accessibility through the online wallet capabilities of Trust Wallet, together with the dependable offline storage of digital assets provided by Ledger’s hardware wallet. This is made possible by the presence of both online and offline alternatives for self-custody. This upgrade to the Trust Wallet Browser Extension also includes the multi-wallet capability and Testnets.
It simply enables users to have a more comprehensive wallet experience. Multi-wallet will also enable users to create, import, and control their numerous wallets based on numerous scenarios in one place, with distinct private keys to offer a more protected option. Testnets will enable more developers and tech-savvy consumers to explore cryptocurrencies in a simple and manageable manner.
Talking about this significant development for Trust Wallet and Ledger, Jean-Francois Rochet, VP of Transactions and Services at Ledger, said: “We’re delighted to provide more security to Trust Wallet users with this integration. Ledger and Trust Wallet share the goal of empowering every user to self-custody and manage their own assets, which is the true ethos of crypto.”
