📥 Part 1: How to Receive Crypto in Trust Wallet

---

✅ Step 1: Open Trust Wallet

• Launch the app

• Make sure the coin you want to receive is visible (e.g., BTC, ETH, MATIC)

💡 If not, tap the “🔍” icon (top right) and search for it. Toggle it ON.

---

✅ Step 2: Get Your Wallet Address

1. Tap the coin (e.g., Bitcoin)

2. Tap “Receive”

3. You'll see your public wallet address (QR code + long string)

4. Tap “Copy” to copy the address

🛡️ This is safe to share with anyone — it’s like your bank account number.

---

✅ Step 3: Paste & Use the Address in Sender App

Now go to:

WazirX, Binance, CoinDCX, or other exchange

Paste your Trust Wallet address in the “Withdraw to” section
Choose the correct blockchain network (important! see below)
Confirm withdrawal

⏳ Wait a few minutes — funds will appear in Trust Wallet once the network confirms.

---

⚠️ IMPORTANT: Choose the Correct Network!

Always match the network used in the sending app with the one in Trust Wallet.

Coin	Network in Trust Wallet
BTC	Bitcoin (BTC)
ETH	Ethereum (ERC20)
BNB (Smart Chain)	Binance Smart Chain (BEP20)
MATIC	Polygon (MATIC)
USDT	Depends: ERC20, BEP20, TRC20

Wrong network = lost funds!

📤 Part 2: How to Send Crypto from Trust Wallet

---

✅ Step 1: Open Trust Wallet

• Tap the coin you want to send (e.g., ETH)

---

✅ Step 2: Tap “Send”

Paste the recipient’s wallet address (or scan their QR code)

Enter the amount to send
Tap “Next”

💸 Gas/transaction fee will be shown — make sure you have enough to cover it.

---

✅ Step 3: Confirm & Send

Double-check the address

Tap “Confirm”
Wait for the transaction to complete (a few seconds to minutes)

---

⚠️ Gas Fee Tips:

For ETH (ERC20) → Gas fee is in ETH

For BNB (BEP20) → Fee is in BNB
For MATIC (Polygon) → Fee is in MATIC

If you have zero balance in native coin, the transaction will fail. So keep a small amount for fees.

📦 How to Track Transaction

1. Tap the coin → View your latest transactions

2. Tap on it → You’ll see transaction ID, status, block confirmation

3. You can also track using block explorers:

   • https://etherscan.io (for ETH)

   • https://bscscan.com (for BNB)

   • https://polygonscan.com (for MATIC)
