Self-custodial wallet cuts 25 chains and its handle feature on Sept. 15. Users keep fund access via secret phrases or custom RPC.
Trust Wallet is dropping native support for 25 blockchain networks, effective September 15, 2026. The self-custodial wallet, which has seen over 220 million downloads, is also discontinuing its Trust Handle feature on the same date.
The August 18 announcement gives users less than a month to prepare.
The networks losing native support include Agoric, Aurora, and two dozen other chains. Trust Wallet currently supports more than 100 blockchain networks and over 10 million digital assets. The cut represents about a quarter of its chain coverage.
Assets on these networks aren't disappearing. Trust Wallet is a self-custodial wallet – users hold their own secret phrases and retain full control over their funds regardless of what the app interface supports. After September 15, anyone who still needs to interact with a sunsetted chain can do so by manually adding it through custom RPC details.
The Trust Handle feature, which integrated with the FIO Protocol to let users send and receive crypto using human-readable names instead of long wallet addresses, is also being discontinued. Existing handles will stop functioning for in-app transactions after the sunset date.
Trust Wallet framed the decision as a resource allocation play. Supporting dozens of blockchain networks isn't free. Each chain requires ongoing maintenance, security monitoring, and compatibility updates.
Trust Wallet, acquired by Binance in 2018, operates independently under CEO Eowyn Chen.
For anyone holding tokens on the 25 networks losing support, the immediate to-do list is straightforward. Before September 15, users should either move assets to a supported chain or familiarize themselves with the process of adding custom RPC configurations to maintain access.
The custom RPC route requires the correct network name, chain ID, RPC URL, currency symbol, and block explorer URL for whatever chain you want to add manually.
For Trust Handle users, any recurring payment flows or saved contacts that rely on handles will break after the cutoff. Users should update their contacts with standard wallet addresses before the deadline.
