When using Trust Wallet to accept cryptocurrencies you should be aware of the differences between the BEP20 and ERC20 addresses. The BEP20 address is used for receiving BNB (Binance Coin) while the ERC20 address is used for receiving ETH (Ethereum).
Finding Your Trust Wallet Address
Finding your Trust Wallet address is a straightforward process even though it differs from other wallets like MetaMask . In order to locate your Trust Wallet address follow these simple steps.
First of all launch the Trust Wallet application on your device.
On the wallet’s homepage you will see a list of imported coins including Bitcoin, Ethereum and BNB on Beacon Chain and Smart Chain.
If the altcoin you want to receive is not listed scroll down to find the “Add Tokens” button. This allows you to enable or disable the display of different cryptocurrencies. Alternatively you can add a custom token by importing its contract address like how it’s done in MetaMask.
Tap on the cryptocurrency you want to receive. A quick overview page that displays past transactions and two buttons “Send” and “Receive” will appear . Since you’re looking for your Trust Wallet address tap on “Receive.”
Your wallet address associated with the selected cryptocurrency will be shown along with a QR code. To copy your wallet address use the provided “Copy” button. You can also share the QR code or create a payment request by tapping the “Set Amount” button .
Remember to only send the specific coin associated with the wallet address. Sending other coins may result in permanent loss .
Verifying the Network
To make sure that you send your funds through the correct network you can use a block explorer like BlockChair. Here’s how to verify the network associated with your Trust Wallet address:
Open BlockChair or another block explorer website. Then enter your Trust Wallet address in the provided field.
Scroll up to view the network associated with that address. For example it may show “Bitcoin” or “Ethereum.”
This step is crucial when dealing with multiple networks such as Ethereum and Arbitrum as it confirms the correct network to use for sending funds.
Finding BEP20 and ERC20 Addresses

By following these steps you can easily find your Trust Wallet address and ensure a smooth and secure transaction experience.
