(1/🧵) Disclaimer: I’ll mostly be talking about the mobile version because the Trust Wallet browser extension is such an embarrassment it’s not even worth discussing, let alone using.

(2/🧵) Leaving Trust Wallet feels like escaping a manipulative abuser. I know, sounds dramatic. But you’ll get it in a second. I should probably start with why I’m leaving, but honestly, this part hurts the most right now. Here’s why:

(3/🧵) A 14-word seed phrase. None of the wallets I picked for migration support this weird format—everyone else uses 12 or 24 words. The weirdest part? I have multiple wallets in Trust Wallet, and ALL of them except my main one (where most of my assets are) have a standard 12-word seed. How did I end up with 14 words? No idea. Asked my friends—they all have 12.

(4/🧵) No private key import. This could’ve solved the seed phrase issue, but nooo—since 2023, TW banned private key imports "for security reasons." Just another control mechanism to keep you locked in.

(5/🧵) Moving assets out is a nightmare. TW has a terrible time recognizing LP tokens. For example, it doesn’t see my DAI in AAVE on Arbitrum. AAVE. On Arbitrum. That’s not some obscure protocol on a dead chain, but okay, Trust, ignore it. Oh, and it also doesn’t recognize my PancakeSwap V3 liquidity position.

(6/🧵) The first issue (missing LP tokens) is fixable inside TW—you can manually import the LP token’s address. But even then, TW won’t fetch its price, meaning those tokens won’t be reflected in your portfolio value. Inconvenient. (1inch Wallet, on the other hand, pulled price data from Coingecko and Curve, which was a nice touch.)

(7/🧵) The second issue (PancakeSwap V3 position) is worse. Liquidity positions in PancakeSwap V3 are NFTs. And Trust Wallet? Completely blind to them. (But it has zero issues showing random phishing NFTs. Classic.) Your only option? Go to BSCscan, find your token_id, and transfer it manually.

The end of the 1st part of the thread. Next part will be about UI and UX of the wallet and it so bad guys. TRUST me
