## How to Store TFT on Trust Wallet (BSC)
### Download and Create a Trust Wallet Account
Once you have downloaded the app (iOS / Android) via [https://trustwallet.com/](https://trustwallet.com/), Select “Create a new wallet” and press “Continue” to accept the terms. Get a pencil and paper ready because the warning Trust Wallet gives you is real: If you lose your recovery words (sometimes also known as a seed phrase or recovery phrase) you may lose access to your wallet and the crypto within it forever.
A new screen will appear, prompting you to write down your recovery phrase. It is important you manually write it down and keep it in a safe, private place. Keeping the words in digital form is less secure and not recommended.
The recovery phase for Trust Wallet consists of 12 words. These words will be used in case you lose access to your wallet – and they are the only way to regain access to the wallet. So we’ll say it again: Keep them in a safe, private place.
To verify that you backed up your recovery phrases, Trust Wallet will prompt you to write them in sequential order as you’ve received them.
You will get a screen stating, “Your wallet was successfully created.”
### Add TFT to Trust Wallet
To add TFT to your Trust Wallet, you need to configure it manually as a 'custom token'. In Trust Wallet, a custom token refers to a token that is not natively supported or pre-listed on the wallet's default token list.
In the 'Tokens' page, click on the 'settings' icon on the upper right corner to start adding a custom token.
Search for TFT, and you will see a “No Asset Found” message with a Add Custom Token button. Click on the 'Add Custom Token' button. You will be directed to the Custom Token page.
On the Custom Token page, configure TFT in the wallet by completing following info :
Once this configuration is done, your TFT wallet is ready.

## Important Notice
To deposit TFT tokens to your Trust BSC wallet, **you can only initiate a transfer or swap from any other wallet or exchange platform that operates on the Binance Smart Chain (BSC) network.** Ensure that the platform you are using is on BSC to avoid the risk of losing tokens.
For example, you cannot transfer TFT tokens directly from the TFConnect app to MetaMask, because TFT on TFT Connect Wallet operate on the Stellar network, while TFT on MetaMask lives on Binance Smart Chain (BSC) Network.
But don't worry! You can still swap your Stellar TFT into BSC TFT and vice versa by bridging them using our [Stellar-BSC Bridge](https://bridge.bsc.threefold.io/). See tutorial [here](bsc_stellar_bridge.md).
You can also buy and swap TFTs on BSC-supported exchangers by connecting your Trust Wallet to platforms like [Pancake Swap](https://pancakeswap.finance/). See the tutorial [here](pancakeswap.md)
