How Trust Wallet Users Access Payments on Polygon
Partner Case Study
This is how the self-custody wallet lets users move money onchain with Polygon as a key partner for trading, dApps, and payments.
“Mass adoption doesn't require expensive gas. Every transaction has to be fast and cheap, and that is Polygon.”
Felix Fan
CEO, Trust Wallet
The Problem
Most wallet users start by simply holding crypto. They open the app, check their balance, and close it. Getting people from holding to actually using their assets onchain is a different challenge entirely, and it defines Trust Wallet's roadmap.
“Holding and interacting onchain is two different things. But we hope that there are more people who will interact onchain, and Trust Wallet is helping to accelerate that journey for our users.”
Felix Fan
CEO, Trust Wallet
The solution
Polygon removes the two biggest barriers to that journey: cost and friction. Felix's own first Polygon transaction happened because transacting elsewhere was relatively expensive. Because Polygon is EVM compatible, it feels like a natural transition for anyone who already knows the environment, and Trust Wallet users trade and explore dApps on Polygon.
The partnership goes beyond token support. As Polygon expands its payments ecosystem, Trust Wallet is focused on optimising a third-party powered payments experience for its users. The teams also work together to put Polygon builders in front of Trust Wallet's global distribution, supporting founders on both sides.
“Trust Wallet is focused on optimising a third-party powered payments experience for its users with the potential to build on Polygon.”

CEO, Trust Wallet
The results
Polygon is one of Trust Wallet's key partners, with a large base of users already familiar with the chain and active on it for trading and dApps. The bigger prize is still ahead: payment adoption is accelerating in Latin America and Africa, where paying with crypto and settling in fiat can be one QR code tap away.

The bottom line: When a self-custody wallet wants every transaction to be fast, cheap, and frictionless, it builds with Polygon.
