{% endhint %}

## **Step 1: Open TrustWallet**

* Launch the **TrustWallet** app on your mobile device.
* Ensure that your wallet is properly set up and secured with a **PIN code** or **biometric authentication**.

## **Step 2: Select the Cryptocurrency You Want to Receive**

* On the main screen, tap **Receive**.
* A list of supported cryptocurrencies will appear (e.g., **ETH, BNB, WBTC**). Select the cryptocurrency you want to receive. For example, to fund your wallet with **BNB** for transactions on the **Binance Smart Chain**, select **BNB**.

## **Step 3: Copy Your Wallet Address**

* Once you've selected a cryptocurrency, your wallet's **public address** will be displayed along with a **QR code**.
* **Copy** the wallet address by tapping the **Copy** button or take a screenshot of the **QR code** to share it with the sender.

## **Step 4: Transfer from an Exchange or Another Wallet**

* If you already have cryptocurrency in another wallet or exchange, you can transfer it to your **TrustWallet** using the copied wallet address.
* For example, if you are sending funds from **Binance** or **Coinbase**, paste the **TrustWallet address** as the recipient address in the **withdrawal** section of the exchange. Ensure that you select the correct network, such as **Binance Smart Chain (BSC)** for BNB or **Ethereum (ETH)** for ERC-20 tokens.

## **Step 5: Use the Built-in Purchase Feature**

* If you do not have cryptocurrency yet, TrustWallet offers a built-in purchase option via third-party providers such as **MoonPay** or **Simplex**.
  * On the main screen, tap **Buy**.
  * Select the cryptocurrency you wish to purchase, such as **ETH**, **BNB**, or **BTC**.
  * Enter the amount you want to purchase and follow the prompts to complete the purchase using a credit card or other payment methods.
  * Please note that this option may include additional fees from the third-party provider.

## **Step 6: Confirm the Transaction**

* Once the transaction is initiated, you can track its status on the blockchain.
  * To do this, tap the cryptocurrency on the **main screen** of your wallet, and you'll see incoming and outgoing transactions.
  * For more detailed information, tap on a specific transaction to view details such as **status**, **block confirmations**, and **transaction hash**.

## **Step 7: Wait for Blockchain Confirmation**

* Depending on the cryptocurrency and network, it may take a few minutes for the transaction to be confirmed on the blockchain.
  * For example, **Ethereum** or **Binance Smart Chain** transactions usually take a few minutes to confirm, but times may vary based on network congestion.

## **Step 8: Verify the Funds in Your Wallet**

* After the transaction is confirmed, the funds will appear in your **TrustWallet** balance.
  * Return to the **main screen** of your TrustWallet app, where you can see the updated balance for each cryptocurrency.
  * If the funds do not appear immediately, tap **Refresh** or **pull down** to update your balance.

## **Step 9: Add Custom Tokens (If Necessary)**

* For specific tokens (such as **$TDFI** from **Tradefi.bot**), you may need to manually add the token to your wallet after funding it.
  * Tap the **“+” icon** on the home screen, search for the token, or add it by pasting its **contract address**.
  * Ensure you select the correct blockchain (Ethereum or Binance Smart Chain) based on the token.

## **Step 10: Start Using Your TrustWallet**

* With your wallet funded, you are now ready to participate in DeFi platforms like **Tradefi.bot**.
  * You can **send** tokens, **swap** between different assets, or connect to **dApps** and use your funds for staking, trading, or interacting with smart contracts.

#### **Important Notes**:

* Always ensure that you are sending funds to the correct blockchain and address. Sending funds to the wrong network may result in the permanent loss of your funds.
* Be mindful of transaction fees, which can vary based on the network (e.g., **Ethereum gas fees** or **Binance Smart Chain fees**).

> By following these steps, you can fund your **TrustWallet** and start using it to manage assets, engage with decentralized applications like **Tradefi.bot**, and participate in the DeFi space securely and efficiently.
