5. In the next step, you will see a twelve word secret phrase which you must write down on paper and keep in a safe place.
6. Write the twelve words down and keep them in a safe place as this is the only way to recover your wallet in case you lose it. Then, press “Continue”.
7. In the next step, you need to re-enter the same twelve words in their correct order to prove you have written them down. Then, press “Continue”.
8. In the next screen, you will see that your first wallet was created on Trust wallet.

2. In the next screen, you will see the “Send” and “Receive” buttons below the ETC icon. Tap on “Receive”

How to Send ETC

To send ETC, follow these instructions:

1. Tap the “Send” button on the home screen.

3. In the next screen, enter the address you are sending ETC to and the amount (for this example we chose “Max”). Then, press “Next”.
4. In the last step, go over the transaction to check if it’s correct. If it’s correct, then press “Confirm”.

Checking Your Balance and Transaction History

To just check you balance on Trust Wallet, you may see that on the home screen. If you wish to check your balance and transaction history for ETC, then tap on the ETC asset on the Home screen.

On the next screen you will see the balance at the top and the list of transactions bellow. You may scroll down through the transaction history to see all transactions for that address.
