Trust Wallet Store download is blocked, new version enhances wallet security certification

Trust Wallet official recently issued an important notice via the X platform, with multiple users reporting difficulties in downloading and installing the latest version of the browser extension from the Chrome Web Store. The official confirmation states that this issue is related to platform technical obstacles triggered during the new version release process. An internal handling process has now been initiated.

The Technical Reasons Behind the Suspension of Downloads from the Chrome Web Store

Recently, users have found it difficult to obtain the latest version of the Trust Wallet extension from the official Chrome Web Store. This is not a security vulnerability but a technical obstacle encountered by the platform during the process of publishing the new version. The Trust Wallet team has confirmed the root cause of the problem and is actively working to resolve the issue preventing downloads from the store. Such situations occasionally occur during major app updates but are usually resolved within a short period.

Focus on Security in New Features: Verification Code Enhances Wallet Ownership Authentication

The latest update introduces significant security upgrades. Trust Wallet has implemented an innovative verification code mechanism, allowing users to submit verification codes directly through the extension to confirm wallet ownership. This feature is especially helpful in protecting affected users, helping them distinguish from potential scammers and hackers, greatly enhancing the wallet’s security level.

Be Cautious of Fake Applications, Ensure Download from Official Channels

During the store recovery period, users should remain vigilant. There are counterfeit Trust Wallet browser extensions on the market that could be used by malicious actors for scams or to steal user assets. Users must download the extension from the official Chrome Web Store or the Trust Wallet official website, avoiding third-party or unofficial channels for installation. Regularly verifying the source and developer information of the application is an effective way to prevent counterfeit apps.

The official recommends users stay updated through Trust Wallet’s official channels to receive timely notifications about store download restorations, and to verify the true identity of the application before installation.
