How Trust Wallet scores
Safety score
57/100
Fair
Write the recovery phrase on paper or metal, never in a photo or cloud note. Install wallets only from the maker’s own site or the official app store.
Some of the code is public, but not all of it is open source.
Latest published audit: Halborn, April 2025.
Keys are kept encrypted on your phone or computer, so malware on that device is the main risk.
3 incidents on record, 2 in the last three years, 3 with user losses. Recent incidents and losses weigh more.
Run by Dapps Platform Bahrain W.L.L, a named company in Bahrain.

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.
