Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why isn't my deposited crypto showing up?
A: Check the blockchain explorer using your transaction ID. It may take time to confirm, or you may have used an incompatible network.
Q: How do I know if a token is supported?
A: Search the token name in Trust Wallet. For unsupported tokens, you'll need to add them manually using the contract address.
Q: What should I do if my recovery phrase is compromised?
A: Immediately transfer funds to a new wallet with a fresh recovery phrase. Never share your phrase with anyone.
Q: Can I recover deleted wallets?
A: Only if you have the original recovery phrase. Without it, deleted wallets cannot be restored.
Q: Why can't I see my token balance?
A: Try refreshing the wallet, checking custom token settings, or ensuring you're viewing the correct wallet address.
Q: How do I handle failed transactions?
A: Failed transactions usually mean the network fee was too low. Wait for the network to drop the transaction or speed it up with a higher fee if possible.
Best Practices for Smooth Wallet Operation
