Security: Your Best Defense in Crypto 🔒
The Trust Wallet® Extension® prioritizes user safety above all else. It utilizes AES encryption to protect your private keys locally. Furthermore, the built-in Security Scanner acts as a digital bodyguard, analyzing transactions for potential risks before you sign them.
