Use “multi-wallet” to manage all your wallets safely in one place
In this guide, we’ll show you how to use the “multi-wallet” feature to add, import, and manage all your wallets within the Trust Wallet Browser Extension – this also includes your Ledger hardware wallets.
Before you start, here’s what you need
- The Trust Wallet Browser Extension installed on your web browser. Download it here.
- A Ledger hardware wallet connected to your computer, if you plan to manage any Leder wallets.
- The Ledger Live software closed on your computer, as this may conflict with the Browser Extension.
Manage multiple wallets, including Ledger, using “Multi-wallet”
Trust Wallet’s “multi-wallet” feature allows you to add, import, and manage multiple wallets in one convenient place.
Use multi-wallet to:
-
Add or import new wallets, so you can manage them in one place
-
Quickly switch between wallets
-
Easily send crypto from one wallet to the other
-
Create wallets for specific purposes – for instance, you might set up a wallet just for connecting to DeFi dApps, and another for daily spending
-
Nickname your wallets, so you can easily track them
-
Remove wallets you’ve previously added
Add a new wallet or toggle between wallets (including your Ledger)
Step 1: Click on the wallet selector option underneath your balance to add or access different wallets:
Step 2: Click “Add new wallet” and follow the instructions to add an additional wallet to the Trust Wallet Browser Extension.
Note – the wallet selector underneath your balance will display:
-
a Trust Wallet
icon when you’re viewing a Trust Wallet address
-
a Ledger icon
when you’re viewing a Ledger wallet address
Simply click the wallet selector at any time to switch different Trust Wallet addresses, or between a Trust Wallet address and a Ledger address.
Send crypto from one wallet to another with “multi-wallet”
Let’s look at an example where you use the Trust Wallet Browser Extension to send ETH from your Ledger wallet address to your Trust Wallet address.
Note: In this example we’re transferring crypto between a Trust Wallet address and Ledger Wallet address, but you can use this same procedure to do transfers between multiple Trust Wallet addresses, or multiple Ledger wallet addresses.
Step 1: Get the deposit address of the wallet you want to receive the crypto
- Click the wallet selector underneath your balance, and select the wallet address you want to receive the crypto. In this example, it’s the Trust Wallet address.
- Click the “Receive” button
-
Select the asset you’ll transfer – in this example it’s ETH
-
Copy the deposit address
Step 2: Send crypto from your other wallet to the deposit address
- Go back to the main balances page of your wallet, click the wallet selector option, and select the wallet you will send the crypto from. In this example, it’s Ledger.
- Click “Send”
-
Choose the asset – again, it’s ETH in this example
-
Paste the deposit address, and enter the amount you want to send
-
Click “Preview” to view the details of the transfer, then click “Confirm” to send the crypto
Now you’ll get a prompt on your Ledger device. You need to review and confirm the transaction directly on your Ledger.
When you see the “Review transaction” prompt, use the buttons or the applicable option on your Ledger to scroll through the details.
Accept and send the transaction from the “Accept and send” screen.
Once you approve the transaction, you’ll then see a screen on the Trust Wallet Browser Extension of the transaction processing (Pending) on the blockchain and confirmation (Success).
And that’s it!
And remember, you can easily send digital assets between unique Trust Wallet addresses, or Ledger addresses.
Give your wallet a custom nickname
You can easily rename a wallet to a custom name. This is useful if you want to create wallets for a specific purpose and easily keep track of them.
For example, you might have a wallet set up just for accessing DeFi dApps, daily transactions, long-term cold storage and so on.
Step 1: Click the wallet selector underneath your balance, then choose “Manage wallets”.
Step 2: Click on the 3 dots next to the wallet you want to rename, then select “Change wallet name”.
Step 3: Create your custom name and click on “Confirm”.
Remove a wallet
Step 1: Click the wallet selector underneath your balance, then choose “manage wallets”.
Step 2: Click on the 3 dots next to the wallet you want to rename, then select “Remove wallet”.
Step 3: Confirm your understanding of removing the wallet.
Send crypto from your Ledger using Trust Wallet
Step 1: Ensure your Ledger wallet is selected in the Trust Wallet Browser Extension.
Use the wallet selector to choose your Ledger wallet, if required.
Step 2: Click “Send”.
Step 3: Choose the asset you want to send.
Step 4: Paste in the address of where you’re sending the crypto, and enter the amount you want to send.
Step 5: Click “Preview” to view the details of the transfer, then click “Confirm”.
Once you click Confirm in the browser extension, your Ledger device will prompt you to review the transaction details directly on the Ledger device.
Use buttons on your Ledger device to scroll through the details.
Step 6: Finally, approve the transaction on your Ledger device.
And that’s it! You’ve sent crypto from your Leder via Trust Wallet.
Once you approve the transaction, you’ll then see a screen on the Trust Wallet Browser Extension of the transaction processing (Pending) on the blockchain and confirmation (Success).
