If you’ve purchased crypto but need a different altcoin or token, you can make the swap directly in Trust Wallet with just a few steps. You can avoid high fees, skip the hassle of KYC checks, and forget about waiting for slow withdrawals from centralized exchanges. Trust Wallet’s built-in swapping tool makes it safe and straightforward, even for beginners in cryptocurrency. In this guide, you will learn exactly how to swap crypto in Trust Wallet, plus what you need to know about supported networks, gas fees, and compatible chains.

 

What You Need Before Swapping Coins in Trust Wallet

Firstly, know that swapping only works on certain networks (for example, Ethereum for ERC-20 tokens). Therefore, ensure your coin is on the correct network before attempting a swap; i.e., the “from” token must be on its corresponding chain.

Trust Wallet lets you swap tokens both within the same chain and across different chains, and the steps are almost the same. Also, be ready to pay gas fees to complete your swap. Gas is usually paid in the network’s native token, like ETH for Ethereum, and you will see the fee in your transaction details before you complete it.

Furthermore, be aware that slippage may affect your transaction. Slippage occurs when the price of a token changes between the time you initiate a swap and when it is finalized, so you might get fewer tokens than you expected. To prevent this, adjust your wallet’s slippage tolerance (lower slippage for stablecoins and highly liquid tokens; higher for volatile coins).
