Trust Wallet emerges superior in terms of sheer variety, offering support for a staggering millions of tokens whereas MetaMask only supports EVM-based coins and tokens.

Trust Wallet integrates with a diverse array of 65 blockchains including the biggest ones like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Solana. MetaMask, in contrast, mainly focuses on EVM-compatible blockchains, including Ethereum, Polygon, Avalanche, Evmos and BSC.

MetaMask is streamlined for simplicity catering especially to users familiar with EVM-based blockchains. Its interface, while basic, aligns with its primary function of allowing for swaps and connections to EVM-based blockchains.

Trust Wallet presents a more polished and intuitive interface. Its modern design is likely to appeal to a broader range of users, from novices to seasoned crypto enthusiasts.

Both wallets are packed with features, but there are notable distinctions. MetaMask enables in-app swaps using platforms like Uniswap and 1inch, charging a swap fee of 0.875%.

Trust Wallet offers a similar function but diversifies its swap platforms to include Thorchain and Kyber Network, albeit at a slightly higher fee of 1%. Trust Wallet also broadens its horizon by offering staking for 12 different cryptocurrencies, a feature MetaMask doesn't inherently possess.

Based on all of these criterias, Trust Wallet emerges as the better wallet as it provides a better UX, support for many more blockchains and cryptocurrencies while offering more features.
