transferring from trustwallet to metamask

[alicetheman]

I have some cryptos in trustwallet. (TW)

I want to transfer it to metamask (MM)

1. is there any fees to transfer from TW to MM
2. on TW i think we can buy only BSC Chain tokens. On MM we can buy any chain tokens, right? like ETH, SOL, BSC, etc...right?

[Jawhead999]

1. Yes, or you could import your Trustwallet private key to Metamask... there's no fee charged.
2. Depends with your payment option, you can only buy on-chain coin with fiat, but you can only buy ERC-20 and BSC chain coin with crypto (DEX). No in Metamask you can only buy ERC-20 token, but you can hold other chain tokens.

Know that tou can only transfer BSC tokens to BSC, ERC20 to ERC20 and like that, irrespective of the the wallet the receiver is using. The reasn I said so is because metamask only support ERC20 tokens.

1. is there any fees to transfer from TW to MM

Yes

Metamask wallet only support ERC20 tokens, trust wallet suppot BEP2 and BSC and including ERC20. For confusion not to occur, it will be good for people not to import from trust wallet to metamask especially if having tokens that are not ERC20.

You're right on BEP2, but not in BSC. Metamask is supporting other chains including BSC, Avalanche, Fantom, Harmony, Huobi, Polygon, Kucoin, Elatos etc [1] [2] if you've set up the custom RPC.

Since @OP discuss about BSC token, so it shouldn't be a problem.

One more point I forgot to mention, not all chains are supported on Metamask. SOL chain isn't supported yet.

oh...wow...i can buy any token on metamask by setting custom rpcs

I will refer the link provided by you.

Now, I read somewhere that using trustwallet is free. They don't charge fees for any transaction. But metamask do charge fees. Is this so?

Source? Maybe it's a fake truswallet, beware.
To store crypto, both are free with no limitations. To transact, both charge you transaction fees.

FYI, Metamask supports all blockchains that fork on Ethereum. Meaning you can access any of your tokens with same wallet using a single private key in different blockchain. You just need to add custom network to view your asset on that specific blockchain. So if you accidentally send tokens to your metamask address a BEP20, KRC20, ERC20 or other Ethereum Fork Blockchain, You can still access as long as you have the private key.

The case will be different if it's not Ethereum fork blockchain like Solana, Bitcoin and many more.

It's fake, There's no blockchain transaction that don't charge fee unless it's just a side chain for an internal transaction.

Below are two links where it says using TW is free and MM charges fees

Looking, at ALEXA traffic rank, this both website looks genuine

You can import your trust wallet into Metamask and make it one wallet. It is best way to connect with many of blockchains. And many of people have done this for transfer funds easily.

That's bullshit. I see it's just a competitor's review.
The gist of the explanation is that, no transaction fees go to the trustwallet developer's pocket whereas metamask only charges network transaction fees. It's the same as not explaining anything.
If it is described in the table it will be like this:

Fees	⠀Trust⠀	⠀Meta⠀	⠀Winner⠀
Network fees	Yes	Yes	-
DAPP⠀fees⠀(Thirdparty)⠀⠀⠀	Yes	Yes	-
Wallet fees	No	No	-

Functionally, trustwallet and metamask are almost the same, but if you want the trustwallet wallet address to run on metamask, then you only need to enter a phrase or private key into your metamask wallet so you can immediately add your tokens and coins there plus you can make transactions like you want, because generally trustwallet can also run on ERC20 network not only for BEP20.
So you don't have to think about the cost for it.

Very clear information.

If I import from TW to MM, still, I can see my crypto in TW? Because, as I am newbie, if I can't find my cryptos in MM or i am not able to use it, can I switch back to TW? Will my cryptos be there in TW also? Are they are in SYNC TW and MM, if I buy or sell in one wallet, it reflects in other wallet also, as recovery phrase will be same for both?

You know you could just import the seeds in Metamask even if you used the trust wallet software for creating it. That's the good part with wallets nowadays. But, if you think your wallet in Trust Wallet is not safe anymore that's why you are just sending the contents of it then there is a transaction fee since you will be using the blockchain in sending it.
BSC - cheaper fees but you might bump in to transaction fees problem if its ERC20.

if I can't find my cryptos in MM or i am not able to use it, can I switch back to TW?

Try adding the name, decimal, and contract address in Metamask and you will see your coins.
About the last question, yes, it will be in sync. Not the boyband.

1. is there any fees to transfer from TW to MM

Hello friend If you want to Send any token from Trustwallet to Metamusk wallet then Fees is compulsory, need transaction fees for every transaction. Eth blockchain fees is more high than Bsc Chain fees. So if you send token BSC network to BSC network then need to very low amount Transaction Fees.

1. is there any fees to transfer from TW to MM
2. on TW i think we can buy only BSC Chain tokens. On MM we can buy any chain tokens, right? like ETH, SOL, BSC, etc...right?

Let you see at https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=idn_jdoqx7e

In this video you will find out how to send Crypto from Trustad to Metamask. This method is very simple and explained clearly in the video. Follow all steps in the video, and Transfer Crypto to Metamask from TrustWallet

That's how you can transfer the Ethereum from TrustWl to Metamask.

good luck

1. Yes, requires a fee if you make a transfer. No fee required if you transfer your wallet from TW to MM
2. Backwards. In metamask we can only buy tokens of the ETH/BSC network, while in Trustwallet several other networks are available.

There are fee to transfer your coin from one wallet to another and most times, those fees are not charged by the wallet in use if they are non- custodian wallet like, metamask, trust waller,cmaths, etc. You will however pay blockchain fee of the coin you are transferring! Metamask is the must versatile wallet for blockchain projects. So, it is easier to use metamask!

Everything is correct except this (highlight question)

All assets that you manage in one of them will be reflected in each other. Some situations might be true like your app crashes, you're using a lower version, or something like that (app error), then you can use another one instead. But in other situations, you can't even transact on both of them such as insufficient balance for gas costs, busy network, etc.

Some of the reasons you can't find your token:
- the token you received has not been confirmed on the blockchain
- you haven't added a token list to your wallet (as @Dread Pirate Roberts said)
- you have not added a new RPC network

[alicetheman]

Okay.....thankyou everybody for the reply. My all doubts are now cleared.

[joniboini]

Is there a specific reason why you want to import/transfer your key to Metamask? If your Trustwallet's wallet is your cold storage ( or your main wallet where you store all of your important coins & tokens), maybe importing the key is not really a good choice.
