How to add dApp browsers to Trust Wallet
29/04/2022
If you’re like me, you use your phone as your primary means of accessing the internet. This probably also means that you use a mobile cryptocurrency wallet to store your coins and tokens.
But what if you want to explore some of the amazing dApps out there? Until now, it’s been a bit difficult to do so on a mobile device since most wallets don’t have built-in browsers. But that’s all changing with Trust Wallet.
In this post, I’m going to show you how easy it is to add dApp browsers to Trust Wallet so that you can start exploring right away. Let’s get started!
What are dApps, and why do you need a browser for them?
A dApp is a decentralized application that runs on a distributed ledger, such as a blockchain. DApps are often open source, so anyone can contribute to their development. Because they run on a decentralized network, dApps are not subject to the control of any single entity. This makes them resistant to censorship and fraud.
To use a dApp, you need a browser that can connect to the distributed ledger. The most popular browser for dApps is MetaMask, which is available as a plugin for Google Chrome and Firefox. Many other browsers can also access dApps, such as Mist, Parity, and Status.
MetaMask allows you to connect to the Ethereum blockchain, which is the most popular platform for dApps. It also enables you to use Ethereum’s native currency, ether, to pay for gas fees.
So why do you need a browser to use a dApp? The answer has to do with security. When you use a centralized application, such as a traditional web app, your data is stored on a server controlled by the company that owns the app. This means that if the company is hacked, your data could be compromised.
With a dApp, your data is stored on a decentralized network of computers, making it much more difficult for hackers to access. In addition, because dApps are open source, their code can be audited by anyone. This makes it easier to identify and fix security vulnerabilities.
Overall, using a dApp is more secure than using a traditional web app. However, it’s important to remember that no system is perfect. Even dApps can be hacked, so you should always take precautions to protect your data, such as keeping your MetaMask seed phrase safe and never sharing it with anyone.
Tutorial: Add a dApp browser to Trust Wallet
Trust Wallet is one of the most popular wallets on mobile devices and allows users to securely store their cryptocurrency while also giving them access to multiple dApps.
In this tutorial, we will show you how to add a dApp browser feature to Trust Wallet so that you can easily use your favorite dApps without having to leave the app or download another software. Let’s get started!
The first step is to download Trust Wallet from the App Store or Google Play Store. After installing it on your device, open the wallet and tap on “More” at the bottom of the screen.
Next, go to “Settings.” You will see a list of different options that you can tweak for your wallet. Find and tap on “Dapps Browser Settings.”
Here, you will see that some default dApp browsers are already listed in this section, but you can easily add more by tapping on “Add Dapp Browser.” A pop-up window will appear with various settings that you need to configure before adding your chosen dApp browser. To save time and effort, it is easiest if you select an existing browser as the template, such as MetaMask or Trust Wallet Desktop. Once selected, tap on “OK” to continue.
You will then be taken to a new page where you need to fill in the required fields for your dApp browser. The first thing you’ll need to do is give your dApp browser a name. It doesn’t matter what you name it, but we recommend keeping it simple and easy to remember. After that, you need to provide the URL for your dApp browser. Once you have entered the correct URL, tap on “OK” to save your changes.
Your dApp browser will now be added to your Trust Wallet, allowing you to access any dApps that you want with just a few taps.
That’s all there is to it! Now you know how easy it is to add a dApp browser feature to your mobile wallet so that you can access and use the growing number of dApps being released in the crypto space.
Tips for using Trust Wallet’s dApp browser safely and securely
Here are a couple of tips to make sure that your interactions with dApps on Trust Wallet are always safe and secure.
1) Look for the green button.
First and foremost, avoid interacting with any dApp that does not have an active green button from the Trust Wallet team or is not hosted on the official Ethereum mainnet. This provides assurance that the app is safe from hackers who might try to gain control over your funds.
2) Check the URL.
Always make sure you check what URL (or website address) a dApp opens in your browser when loaded. The URL should be its very own domain name, ending in “.eth,” An example would be “dappname.eth.”
If the URL looks different, then it’s possible that you’re being redirected to a malicious phishing site where your credentials or private keys could be stolen.
3) Download from official app stores.
Another key tip is to avoid downloading any dApps from unofficial app stores, as these may not be trustworthy and could infect your device with malware.
4) Be responsible for your own online security.
Finally, always remember that you are responsible for your own security when using Trust Wallet or any other crypto wallet – so make sure you take the necessary precautions to keep your device and accounts safe!
By following these tips, you can ensure that your experience using Trust Wallet’s dApp browser is always safe and secure. Remember to exercise caution and common sense at all times, and you’ll be able to use Trust Wallet with complete peace of mind.
