Some of the code is public, but not all of it is open source.

Independent audits20/20

    A malicious browser extension v2.68 was published to the Chrome Web Store with a Chrome Web Store API key leaked in the Nov 2025 Sha1-Hulud npm attack, bypassing Trust Wallet's internal review. It sent wallet data to attacker domain metrics-trustwallet.com from Dec 24-26, 2025 (until 11:00 UTC Dec 26). Trust Wallet first put losses at about $7M, later at 2,520 drained addresses and about $8.5M, and is voluntarily reimbursing victims. Fixed by v2.69 (clean v2.67 rebuild). Mobile apps not affected.
