Trust Wallet has become a popular choice among cryptocurrency enthusiasts for its user-friendly interface and wide range of supported tokens. If you're using Trust Wallet and need to convert your ERC20 tokens to TRC20 tokens, this guide is for you. In this blog, we will walk you through the process of converting ERC20 tokens to TRC20 tokens within Trust Wallet.
Step 1: Install Trust Wallet and Set Up
If you haven't already, download the Trust Wallet app from your device's app store and complete the installation process. Once installed, launch the app and set up a new wallet or import an existing one if you already have a Trust Wallet account.
Step 2: Add TRON (TRX) to Trust Wallet
To convert ERC20 tokens to TRC20 tokens, you'll need to have TRON (TRX) in your Trust Wallet to cover transaction fees. If you don't have TRX in your wallet, you can easily add it by following these steps:
- Open your Trust Wallet app and navigate to the wallet overview screen.
- Tap on the "Receive" button for your Ethereum wallet (where your ERC20 tokens are currently stored).
- Copy the Ethereum address displayed on the screen.
- Open an exchange or another wallet that supports TRON (TRX).
- Initiate a TRX withdrawal from the exchange or wallet, specifying the Trust Wallet Ethereum address as the recipient.
- Wait for the TRX to arrive in your Trust Wallet.
Step 3: Access TokenBridge within Trust Wallet
Trust Wallet integrates with TokenBridge, a cross-chain bridge that enables the conversion of tokens between different networks. Follow these steps to access TokenBridge within your Trust Wallet:
- Launch the Trust Wallet app and navigate to the wallet overview screen.
- Tap on the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines) in the top-left corner of the screen to open the sidebar.
- Scroll down and select "DApps" from the sidebar options.
- In the DApps browser, enter "TokenBridge" or "bridge.trustwallet.com" in the search or address bar and tap enter.
- You will be redirected to the TokenBridge interface within Trust Wallet.
Step 4: Convert ERC20 to TRC20 Tokens
Now that you're in the TokenBridge interface, you can proceed to convert your ERC20 tokens to TRC20 tokens. Follow these steps:
- In TokenBridge, select the Ethereum network as the "From Network."
- Choose the ERC20 token you want to convert from the dropdown menu.
- Enter the amount of ERC20 tokens you wish to convert.
- Select the TRON network as the "To Network."
- Choose the corresponding TRC20 token for the ERC20 token you're converting.
- Review the conversion details, including the token amounts and fees.
- If everything looks correct, click on the "Convert" or "Swap" button to initiate the conversion process.
- Confirm the transaction in your Trust Wallet, ensuring you have enough TRX to cover the transaction fees.
- Wait for the transaction to be processed and confirmed on both the Ethereum and TRON networks.
Step 5: Verify and Manage TRC20 Tokens
After the conversion is complete, you should see the TRC20 tokens in your Trust Wallet. To verify and manage your TRC20 tokens, follow these steps:
- Return to the Trust Wallet app's wallet overview screen.
- Scroll down to find your TRON wallet.
- Tap on the wallet to view the tokens held within it.
- Verify that the converted TRC20 tokens are present and reflected accurately.
- You can now manage, send, or receive your TRC20 tokens within Trust Wallet.
