Trust Wallet users have until September 15, 2026, to sort out access to 25 blockchains that are being removed from the wallet’s built-in network list. The tokens themselves will not vanish. Balances remain on their own chains and stay tied to your recovery phrase. What changes is the way you reach them: after the deadline, the affected networks no longer appear in the app, so balances become harder to view, send, or swap.
The provider announced the sunset on August 18 and described it as part of a routine review of network coverage. Trust Wallet also said that people who hold nothing on these chains can simply do nothing. But plenty of users may have airdrop leftovers, test funds, or older positions scattered across these networks.
Which networks are affected and why it matters
Among the 25 chains are several that are not small or obscure. MultiversX, Polygon zkEVM, Moonbeam, Moonriver, and Nano have real user bases. Neon is also on the list, along with chains like Decred, Firo, Agoric, Stride, and FIO. If you are not sure whether this affects you, open the app and check the network list before the deadline.
For EVM-compatible chains, the path back is a custom network. You enter the chain details by hand, including an RPC endpoint, chain ID, currency symbol, and block explorer. Trust Wallet points users to Chainlist as a directory for those details. It works for many chains, but not all of them.
The manual route does not work for every chain
Some of the retired networks speak a different technical language. Decred, Firo, and Nano rest on their own protocols. MultiversX uses its own address format. Agoric and Stride are part of the Cosmos ecosystem. For those chains, adding a custom network from an EVM directory is not a real fix. You may need the project’s own wallet, another multichain wallet that still supports the chain, or an exchange that lists the token. Moving the balance before September 15 is often the cleaner option because the sending route is still inside the app until then.
Trust Handles and token approvals also need attention
The same date ends Trust Handles, the human-readable wallet names built on the FIO chain. If you gave your handle to people or services as a receiving address, update those details now. Otherwise, transactions sent to the handle after the cutoff may not reach you.
Token approvals deserve a look as well. Permissions you gave to smart contracts stay on the blockchain even after the wallet stops showing the chain. Revoke open approvals while access is still convenient. Waiting makes the job harder.
One more thing: deadlines like this attract phishing. Trust Wallet says it will never ask for your recovery phrase or ask you to move funds into a “secure” wallet. If a message invokes the real date and pushes you to act fast, that is a warning sign. Your recovery phrase belongs only in your own wallet during a normal restore, nowhere else.
If you decide to move funds, keep it simple. Create the destination address, check it twice, send a small test amount, confirm it arrived, then send the rest. That takes a few extra minutes and avoids the painful kind of mistake.
