Trust Wallet official issued an important reminder on January 1st via the X platform. CEO Eowync.eth confirmed that there are issues with the browser extension of this wallet available in the Chrome Web Store. It is understood that some users may have recently experienced difficulties downloading the Trust Wallet extension from the store. The official team has identified the root cause and is working on internal solutions.

Chrome Web Store Vulnerability Causes Temporary Download Issues

According to official statements, when Trust Wallet releases a new version, it triggers a system vulnerability in the Chrome Web Store, which causes the extension to temporarily disappear from the store’s download list. This is not a security issue with the application itself, but a technical fault at the platform level. The official team has confirmed they are following up with Google, and the technical team is working urgently to restore normal download channels as soon as possible.

New Version Adds Verification Code Feature to Enhance Anti-Scam Capabilities

In addition to resolving the download issue, this version update of Trust Wallet also brings significant security upgrades. The newly added verification code feature allows users to submit verification information through the extension, helping the official team more accurately verify wallet ownership and effectively distinguish legitimate users from scammers. This feature is designed to provide a stronger identity verification method for users affected by scams.

Community Reminder: Beware of Fake Trust Wallet Extensions

The official also emphasizes that community members should be cautious of any counterfeit Trust Wallet browser extensions. Scammers often exploit users’ trust in the official app by creating similar-looking fake applications to induce downloads, risking wallet assets. Users must verify the authenticity of applications through official channels when downloading extensions from the store to ensure they are downloading the genuine Trust Wallet official app.
