According to its website, Trust Wallet is a non-custodial wallet powering more than 3 million crypto assets and non-fungible tokens (NFTs.) The platform supports over 65 blockchains and lets users store their private keys away from centralized exchanges. It is used by more than 50 million people globally.

Described by its co-founder Charles Hoskinson as the third generation of blockchain, Cardano is an open-source consensus, which boasts more than 1,000 projects building on it. The blockchain uses a proof of stake consensus algorithm to secure its transactions, powered by its native token, ADA, which is used for settling transaction fees on the blockchain.
