iCrypto and Trust Wallet are both non-custodial wallets: in each case your private keys are derived from a recovery phrase that only you hold, and neither company can move your funds. If you are choosing between them, the question is not who holds your keys — you do, in both — but how each wallet runs, how much of it you can verify for yourself, and where it charges you.
This page sets out the differences plainly. Trust Wallet is a widely used, mobile-first wallet backing a very large number of chains and assets, with a companion browser extension. iCrypto is a browser wallet with a built-in swap, MIT-licensed source and reproducible builds. Where a specific Trust Wallet figure is not something we can state with confidence, we leave it out rather than guess.
| iCrypto | Trust Wallet | |
|---|---|---|
| Custody | Non-custodial; keys in your browser from a recovery phrase | Non-custodial; keys on your device from a recovery phrase |
| Where it runs | Web browser | Mobile app (iOS, Android) plus browser extension |
| Account / sign-up | None; no KYC | None; no KYC |
| Chains | 11 blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche and further EVM chains | Very broad multi-chain support, including Bitcoin and Ethereum |
| Tokens | ERC-20 and BEP-20 | Broad token support across supported chains |
| Built-in swap | Yes, via the 0x DEX aggregator, executed from your wallet | Yes, in-app swap and DEX access |
| Swap fee | 0.25-0.35%, plus network gas | See Trust Wallet for current terms |
| Open source | Yes, MIT-licensed | Core components open source; not the entire app |
| Reproducible builds | No. The engine is MIT upstream and buildable; our layer is not published | Not offered as a documented reproducible build |
Both wallets are genuinely non-custodial and neither asks for identity documents. The meaningful differences sit in the last four rows: how you reach the wallet, what it charges, and how much of it you can check yourself.
Trust Wallet is primarily a mobile app for iOS and Android, with a browser extension alongside it. That suits people who manage crypto mainly from a phone and want a native app with push, biometrics and a built-in dApp browser.
iCrypto runs in the browser. Your keys are generated and stored locally in the browser from your recovery phrase, so there is nothing to install from an app store and the same wallet is reachable from any device where you restore your phrase. Which model is better depends on how you actually work: a phone-first user may prefer a native app; someone who lives on a desktop, or who wants to avoid app-store intermediaries, may prefer the browser.
The difference is narrower than it looks. iCrypto's wallet engine is MIT-licensed upstream code you can read and build; our own layer on top is not yet published. You can read the whole codebase, clone it, run npm ci && npm run build:mainnet on Node 22 or newer, and compare the output against what is served — so "trust us" is replaced by "check for yourself".
Trust Wallet publishes several open-source components, but the wallet as shipped is not offered as a fully reproducible build you can regenerate and match byte for byte. For most users that is an acceptable trade for a polished mobile app; for users who want end-to-end verifiability, it is the point on which iCrypto differs.
Both wallets let you swap without leaving self-custody. iCrypto routes swaps through the 0x DEX aggregator and executes them directly from your wallet, charging a 0.25-0.35% fee plus the normal network gas. Stating the fee up front is deliberate: you know the cost before you sign.
Trust Wallet also offers in-app swaps and DEX access. Its swap pricing and any provider fees can vary by route and asset, so check the quote inside the app at the time of the trade. In both wallets, the network gas fee is separate and unavoidable — it goes to the chain, not to the wallet.
Trust Wallet's headline strength is breadth: it supports a very large number of chains and assets, which matters if you hold a long tail of tokens across many networks. iCrypto covers 11 blockchains — Bitcoin, Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche and further EVM chains — with ERC-20 and BEP-20 tokens. If you need a specific, less common chain, check each wallet's supported list against your holdings before deciding.
Trust Wallet is a strong, well-established choice, and for some people it is the better fit:
None of those is a weakness in iCrypto so much as a different priority. If a phone-first native app and maximum chain breadth are what you value most, Trust Wallet is a sensible pick.
Yes. Both are non-custodial: your private keys are derived from a recovery phrase that only you hold, and neither company can move your funds. The differences are in how each wallet runs, how much of it you can verify, and where it charges you.

Yes. iCrypto supports Bitcoin alongside Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Avalanche and further EVM chains — 11 blockchains in total — plus ERC-20 and BEP-20 tokens.

Partly. The wallet engine that holds and moves your funds is the MIT-licensed upstream project; our layer on top is not yet public. Clone the source, run npm ci && npm run build:mainnet on Node 22 or newer, and check the output against what is served.
Crypto assets are volatile and largely unregulated. You are solely responsible for your keys and funds. Nothing here is financial advice.
