@TrustWallet is cutting 25 blockchain networks from its app on September 15, 2026. The move affects holders on several once-prominent chains and also retires the wallet's human-readable username feature, Trust Handles.
Which Networks Are Being Removed
According to Trust Wallet's official announcement, the networks being retired include Polygon zkEVM, Moonbeam, MultiversX, IoTeX, Conflux, and Decred, among others. Users holding assets on any of the affected chains do not need to worry about losing funds. Assets remain on their respective blockchains, and access can be restored by manually re-adding each network through the app's custom network settings.
The rationale follows a pattern Trust Wallet has applied before. The wallet previously removed BRC-20 and inscription support, citing low usage and added friction for the broader user base. Cutting underutilised networks keeps the core experience streamlined for the majority of its users, while the app continues to support more than 100 blockchains overall.
Trust Handles Are Also Going Away
The deprecation extends beyond chain support. Trust Handles, the human-readable usernames that replace long wallet addresses, will also stop functioning. Trust Wallet had integrated with the Foundation for Interwallet Operability (FIO) Protocol as its default domain provider, allowing users to replace complex addresses with readable handles such as "name@trust" across multiple blockchains. That infrastructure is being removed as part of this update.
Registrations remain recorded on the FIO network, but re-adding FIO to Trust Wallet will not restore the handles. Users who relied on Trust Handles to receive assets should update their contact details and switch to a standard wallet address before the September 15 deadline. Trust Wallet has not indicated whether a replacement for the feature is planned.
Users on any of the 25 affected networks should act before the cutoff: back up relevant private keys or seed phrases, note the network details needed to re-add a chain manually, and update any incoming payment references to a currently supported address format.
