# Import from Trust Wallet

## Difference between Polkadot addresses generated from Trust Wallet & Polkadot-native wallets

In the past, when importing the seed phrase from Trust Wallet to Polkadot-native wallets, the Polkadot address generated by these wallets differed from the one in Trust Wallet. This is because Trust Wallet and Polkadot-native wallets turn the exact 12-word seed phrase into Polkadot keys using different derivation rules, so they literally generate a different keypair:

* Trust Wallet derives a Polkadot account using the `ed25519` curve/key type
* Polkadot-native wallets derive a Polkadot account using the `sr25519` curve/key type

To deal with this issue, SubWallet now supports importing seed phrases from Trust Wallet using the same derivation settings, so the resulting Polkadot address matches the original address in your Trust Wallet account.

## Import accounts from Trust Wallet via seed phrase

### If you are currently using SubWallet

**Step 1**: Obtain your Trust Wallet seed phrase by following [this guide from Trust Wallet](https://trustwallet.com/blog/guides/how-to-backup-your-recovery-phrase-and-export-private-keys-in-trust-wallet).

**Step 2**: Open the SubWallet extension and click on the account name to access the account selection tab.

**Step 3**: In the Account selection tab, click the <img src="/files/Kmb0dGx8FAXX6swhpiaJ" alt="" data-size="line"> icon at the bottom of the screen.

**Step 5**: Enter your Trust Wallet seed phrase by filling in the blank fields. Once done, click "**Import account**".&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
When you import a seed phrase generated from a non-native TON wallet into SubWallet, a popup will appear informing you that this phrase is incompatible with TON-native wallets:

* Click "**Import**" to proceed.
* Click "**Go back**" to cancel the process.

![](/files/ER7imPdEbMzABD2Bi36e)
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="info" %}
If you've previously imported the same seed phrase via the "**Import from seed phrase**" option (or you currently have one or more accounts in the wallet containing the information of that seed phrase), importing it again via the Trust Wallet option will generate/recover ***a Polkadot solo account*** that can be used on both SubWallet and Trust Wallet.

In this case, once the popup appears, read the information, then choose "**Import**" if you want to import that solo account.

{% endhint %}

**Step 6**: Enter a name for your newly imported account, then click "**Confirm**".

You've successfully imported your Trust Wallet account into SubWallet!

### If you have not had any accounts with SubWallet

**Step 1**: Open the SubWallet extension and choose "**Import an account**".

**Step 2**: Choose "**Import from Trust Wallet**" as the chosen method to import your Trust Wallet account.

<figure><img src="/files/30LosV2W2i25UzClF7f3" alt="" width="362"><figcaption></figcaption></figure>

**Step 3:** Create a master password with at least 8 characters and tick the "**I understand that SubWallet can't recover the password**" field.&#x20;

{% hint style="warning" %}
SubWallet is non-custodial, so you will be the only person who knows your password; we can't help you restore it if you lose it. Make sure that your password is well-kept.
{% endhint %}

Once done, click "**Continue**".

Once you create a master password, you can follow the import procedure provided in [If you are currently using SubWallet](#if-you-are-currently-using-subwallet), starting from **Step 5**.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.subwallet.app/main/extension-user-guide/account-management/import-accounts/import-from-trust-wallet.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
