Switch to another crypto wallet via seed phrase without losing your address or tokens

After the updates released at the end of 2025, many TRON users noticed that Trust Wallet began automatically charging fees in USDT and restricted interactions with external services, including energy rental. As a result, costs increased and fee control was lost.

In this article, we will explain in detail:

• Why moving a wallet without losing tokens is considered safe and accessible to every user
• How seed phrase import works and why your TRON address will not change
• How to regain control over fees in just three minutes and use TRON Energy again for USDT transfers

It is important to remember that changing a wallet does not mean changing your address. Your USDT, TRX, and other tokens continue to be stored on the blockchain, where they are fully protected. We are simply choosing a different application to access them, not creating a new account.

Trust Wallet had long been considered a convenient and reliable wallet, but recent updates that changed the TRON fee system completely altered the situation. Users lost the ability to choose how exactly to pay for transactions. Read more about the changes and their validity in this article: “Trust Wallet Under Question: Where Convenience Ends and Centralization Begins.”

The fee for sending USDT TRC-20 increased noticeably, and using TRON Energy rental became unavailable. Because of this, the TRON network stopped providing the advantage that previously attracted many, since transfers are no longer as cheap as they used to be.

Many began looking for an alternative to Trust Wallet for USDT TRC-20 to regain transparency and control over spending. More and more users are switching to the TokenPocket wallet, as well as to Exodus, SafePal, and Klever. These applications allow you to choose how to pay fees yourself and help you understand how to reduce fees when transferring USDT.

The key thing to remember is that switching to other wallets is safe if you follow the step-by-step instructions. You do not need to transfer tokens to do this; it is enough to import your existing wallet.

The most common misconception among beginners is the idea that installing a new wallet will create a new address and all funds will have to be transferred. In reality, this is not the case.

Your TRON address (as in any other blockchain), which begins with the letter T, does not belong to Trust Wallet. It belongs only to you and is linked to your secret seed phrase of 12 or 24 words. The Trust Wallet application is an interface for interacting with the blockchain—it displays the balance and tokens but does not control your address.

Importing the Trust Wallet seed phrase into another wallet opens the same address in a new interface. The balance, transaction history, and all tokens remain unchanged.

Essentially, you are not moving funds; you are simply opening your wallet through another application. Everything stays in place; only the way you connect to it changes. The address remains the same, and all the keys are with you.

Before switching to another application, you need a bit of preparation. This will take just a few minutes, but these steps determine how calm and error-free the transition will be. If you approach the matter carefully, the process will be simple and clear, even if this is your first time importing a wallet.

The main goal of preparation is to make sure the seed phrase is only with you and that you understand exactly how import works. Everything else is straightforward.

Open Trust Wallet and go to “Settings.” Then select “Wallets” and tap “Show Secret Phrase.” The screen will display 12 or 24 words that grant access to your address and all tokens. Write them down by hand on paper, check the spelling and word order. It is better to make two copies and store them in different places so you don’t lose access to your funds.

The seed phrase is not an ordinary password—it grants access to all your assets. It must not be stored in notes, screenshots, or cloud services, because even accidental file saving can lead to loss of funds. Keep the phrase offline only and enter it manually at the time of import. Remember, no service, including Tron Pool Energy, ever asks for these words.

Now you need to decide on the application that suits you. You can read a detailed review in the article “The Best Alternatives to Trust Wallet.” For the TRON network and USDT transfers, TokenPocket and SafePal are a good fit. These wallets allow you to manage energy manually and use Tron Pool Energy.

Once the seed phrase is written down and the new wallet is chosen, you can calmly proceed to import. The entire process takes just a few minutes and does not require technical knowledge. The main thing is to act consistently and not rush; then everything will go smoothly.

Let’s look at how to switch from Trust Wallet to another wallet using TokenPocket as an example. The process is almost the same for most applications, but users most often choose TokenPocket because it is convenient, stable, and works well with Tron Pool Energy.

Step-by-step scheme:

• Download TokenPocket only from the official App Store or Google Play and verify the developer is correct.
• On first launch, do not create a new wallet; select “I already have a wallet” (Import Wallet).
• Tap “Import via Mnemonic” (Seed Phrase) and proceed to the next step.
• Enter the 12 or 24 words from your Trust Wallet in the correct order. Do this manually, carefully checking each word.
• Create a new password to log into the application. It protects the interface but does not affect the seed phrase.
• After completing the import, select the TRON network and wait for the data to load.
• Connect Tron Pool Energy and choose an energy rental for an hour or Unlimited connection. This way you can pay fees with energy and save on transfers without burning TRX.
• After a few seconds, you will see your address that begins with the letter T and all the tokens on it. To make sure everything matches, you can open the old Trust Wallet and compare the first and last characters—they will be the same, because it is the very same address, just in another application.

Restoring a TRON address in another wallet this way is simple and safe. It’s like entering the same house through a different door. Everything inside remains the same; only the way you get in changes.

Many users worry that after moving the wallet they might lose tokens or their transaction history. In fact, this is impossible. Everything related to your address is stored not in the application but on the blockchain, and no interface change affects the contents of your account.

Here is what is preserved when importing a seed phrase:

• Your TRON address does not change. Anyone who sends tokens to your old address will send them to the very same one, and you will receive the transfer without delay.
• All balances remain in place. Your USDT, TRX, and other TRC-20 and TRC-10 tokens are automatically displayed in the new wallet after synchronization.
• The transaction history is also preserved. It is recorded on the blockchain and available for viewing on tronscan.org or any other explorer where you can enter your address.
• Connections to DApps continue to work. All permissions you once confirmed remain active, because they are linked to your address, not to the application itself.
• NFTs and other digital assets are also preserved. They are located at your address and will appear in the new wallet as soon as the network updates the data.

After the move, only the interface appearance and your level of control over spending change. Now you can use energy for transactions again and fully manage your fees. A new wallet with low USDT TRC-20 fees will let you decide whether to pay in TRX or use TRON Energy so that transfers remain cost-effective and predictable.

After import, you can immediately connect to Tron Pool Energy and regain your usual control over transfers. Just connect your wallet and select the TRON network, then go to the website or the Tron Pool Energy Telegram WebApp bot and rent the appropriate amount of energy. In just a minute everything will be ready, and USDT transfers will once again be executed with minimal fees.

What you get by choosing the Tron Pool Energy service:

• The ability to make USDT TRC-20 transfers without TRX by using energy, saving up to 65% on fees for each transfer;
• Full control over transactions, since you can now see exactly what funds are being charged for and which resources are being used;
• Confidence that your wallet no longer decides for you how the fee should be paid;
• The ability to plan expenses by choosing a suitable energy package and knowing exactly how much you will spend on transactions;
• 24/7 support from the Tron Pool Energy team on any questions.

After the move, you can safely delete Trust Wallet from your phone. All your funds continue to be stored on the TRON network, and now you connect to them through an application that does not restrict your actions. Management becomes simpler, fees more transparent, and working with USDT TRC-20 becomes as convenient as before.

Switching to a better TRON wallet for transfers should not be perceived as moving house. It is just a change of interface, while all your tokens remain on the blockchain under your full control.

There is no need to fear the word “import.” This is a routine action that returns freedom to the user and the ability to decide again how to pay fees.

In just a few minutes, you can restore your TRON address in another wallet, figure out how to connect TRON Energy, and regain your previous savings on transfers.
