What’s new? Crypto wallet Trust Wallet has begun to support Toncoin (TON). The Telegram channel “Kod Durova” announced this on May 4. From now on, users of the wallet can store Toncoin in the original TON blockchain network. Previously, Trust Wallet only supported wrapped versions of the coin on Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain networks (ERC-20 and BEP-20 standards, respectively).
