Backing Up Your Wallet

Why Is Backing Up My Trust Wallet Important?

Backing up your Trust Wallet is crucial because it ensures that you can restore access to your wallet and assets in case your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

• Recovery of Funds: If you lose access to your device, the recovery phrase allows you to restore your wallet and recover your cryptocurrencies.

• Security and Control: Trust Wallet is a non-custodial wallet, meaning you are the only one responsible for your funds. The backup protects your assets by giving you access to your private keys.

• Prevents Permanent Loss: Without a backup, losing your recovery phrase means you will lose access to your wallet and its contents forever.
