Trust Wallet Token

In this guide, we’ll cover how to <a href="https://trustwallet.com/earn-bitcoin" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">earn Bitcoin</a> using Trust Wallet. We’ll do this using the Venus Protocol and earning BTCB, which is a pegged version of Bitcoin that’s both on the BNB Chain. Trust Wallet allows you to earn crypto in many ways, including in-app <a href="https://blog.trustwallet.com/blog/what-is-staking" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">staking</a> or connecting to protocols via the <a href="https://trustwallet.com/dapp" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Web3 dApp browser</a>. Additionally, features like the Trust Wallet Security Scanner help to keep your entire Web3 experience safe.
<h2 id="header-0">Before you start earning Bitcoin using Trust Wallet</h2>
Before we dive into how to earn Bitcoin using Trust Wallet, you’ll need to create a wallet if you don’t already have one. Trust Wallet is available as a mobile app or you can get the <a href="https://trustwallet.com/browser-extension" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Trust Wallet Extension</a> for your desktop web browser. In this example, we’ll set up a new wallet using the Trust Wallet Mobile App.
Step 1: Download the latest version of the Trust Wallet App.
Step 2: Set up your new wallet
<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/067a9dedec9140148b924e12bdc8ec96.png">
<ul>
 <li>Open the Trust Wallet app, and choose the option to ‘Create a new wallet.’</li>
 <li>Choose a method to back up your wallet.</li>
 <li>Go through the instructions to start using your wallet.</li>
</ul>
Tip: If you already have a wallet that’s not Trust Wallet, you can choose to import that wallet. In this case, you’d choose the “I already have a wallet” option.
Step 3: Ensure you have BTCB in your wallet
Note: To earn Bitcoin with Venus Protocol, you need BTCB - a pegged version of BTC that’s on the BNB Smart Chain (BEP20). You’ll also need this to cover any gas fees.
<img src="https://academy-public.coinmarketcap.com/optimized-uploads/ce74fbe382a64cbcb02785741b49e2b2.png">
There are a number of ways get BTCB into your wallet, including the following.
<ul>
 <li><a href="https://community.trustwallet.com/t/crypto-deposit-guide-trust-wallet-mobile-app/757627" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Deposit</a> or <a href="https://blog.trustwallet.com/blog/how-to-buy-cryptocurrency-using-trust-wallet" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">buy BTC</a> on the Bitcoin blockchain and then swap it to BTCB on the Binance Smart Chain (BEP20). This requires a couple of steps as you currently cannot directly swap BTC to BEP20 assets. Please <a href="https://community.trustwallet.com/t/trust-wallet-adds-in-app-cross-chain-swaps-functionality-with-thorchain-integration/637967" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">see here for instructions</a> (view the section on How to swap BTC or ETH to BEP20 tokens).</li>
</ul>
.
<ul>
 <li>Deposit BTCB (BEP20) directly <a href="https://community.trustwallet.com/t/crypto-deposit-guide-trust-wallet-mobile-app/757627" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">using these instructions</a>.</li>
 <li>Swap another BEP20 asset to BTCB (BEP20) using <a href="https://community.trustwallet.com/t/how-to-swap-crypto-using-trust-wallet/766879" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">these instructions</a>.</li>
</ul>
Once you have BTCB in your wallet, you’ll be ready to start earning using the Venus Protocol.
<h2 id="header-1">What is the Venus Protocol?</h2>
Venus Protocol is a DeFi (decentralized finance) money market platform operating on the BNB Smart Chain. It allows for the lending, borrowing, and minting of synthetic stablecoins (VAI), all collateralized by user-supplied assets. Venus is a fusion of concepts from Compound and MakerDAO, two Ethereum-based protocols, and brings together functions of lending and stablecoin minting within a single system. In this permissionless lending environment, users can earn interest on their collateral, or borrow against it, by participating in the platform's lending and borrowing services.

<h2 id="header-3">Earning and claiming your rewards – things to keep in mind</h2>
<ul>
 <li>In addition to earning BTCB, you also earn XVS, as shown in the above process. Once you earn the rewards, you can choose to swap the XVS rewards for additional BTCB (or any other swap pair asset offered) from within the Venus Protocol dApp.</li>
 <li>You can use the in-app swapping feature of Trust Wallet to swap from BTCB back to BTC on the Bitcoin chain. With Trust Wallet, you have the freedom to approach this as you wish. If you do want to swap BTCB to BTC, just remember this will require a couple of steps <a href="https://community.trustwallet.com/t/trust-wallet-adds-in-app-cross-chain-swaps-functionality-with-thorchain-integration/637967" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">as outlined here</a>.</li>
</ul>
