How to Set Up Trust Wallet for BNB Smart Chain
Set up Trust Wallet on your phone, find BNB on BNB Smart Chain, and open BNB Machine in the in-app browser. Simple steps plus safety tips.
Trust Wallet is a popular mobile crypto wallet with built-in support for BNB Smart Chain. It's a good choice if you'll use BNB Machine mostly on your phone. Setup takes about 5 minutes.
Step 1: Install Trust Wallet
Download Trust Wallet from the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, or from trustwallet.com. Check the publisher before installing.
Step 2: Create a wallet and back up the recovery phrase
- Open Trust Wallet and tap Create new wallet.
- Back up your Secret Phrase (12 words). Write the words on paper in order and keep them private and safe.
- Confirm the phrase when asked.
Step 3: Find BNB on BNB Smart Chain
Trust Wallet supports BNB Smart Chain without any setup. On the home screen, look for BNB with the label BNB Smart Chain (sometimes shown as "BSC" or "BEP20"). If you don't see it, tap the search or Manage crypto option and turn on BNB (BNB Smart Chain).
Tap it, then Receive, to see your address. It starts with 0x. This is the address you'll use with BNB Machine.
Step 4: Add BNB
You need about $21 in BNB on BNB Smart Chain for activation. You can buy BNB inside Trust Wallet through its Buy option, or send it from an exchange. Always choose the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20) network when sending. See How to get BNB for activation.
Step 5: Open BNB Machine in the Trust Wallet browser
- Open the Browser (or "Discover") tab in Trust Wallet.
- Paste your invite link, for example
bnbmachine.world/register?ref=username, into the address bar. - When the site asks to connect, check that the network is BNB Smart Chain and approve.
If you can't find the browser tab on your phone, you can use MetaMask instead: see How to set up MetaMask for BNB Smart Chain.
Step 6: Connect and continue
On the registration page, tap From wallet to fill in your address. Connecting shares your public address only. It doesn't move funds or cost anything. Then follow How to create your BNB Machine account.
Frequently asked questions
Does Trust Wallet support BNB Smart Chain?
Yes. BNB on BNB Smart Chain is supported by default. Make sure you use BNB on "BNB Smart Chain", not another network.
Why can't BNB Machine see my Trust Wallet?
Open the site inside Trust Wallet's own browser. Chrome and Safari on your phone can't connect to the wallet app.
Is Trust Wallet or MetaMask better for BNB Machine?
Both work. Trust Wallet is mobile-first and simple; MetaMask works on phones and desktop browsers. Use the one you're comfortable with, and keep the same wallet for your BNB Machine account.
Can I use a wallet on an exchange?
No. You need a wallet you control, like Trust Wallet or MetaMask, because you sign in and receive withdrawals with it. Exchange accounts can't sign in to websites.
