Trust Wallet is a mobile-first software wallet. It estimates gas using the network's current base fee and the RPC node the app is talking to. Fees you pay depend on two things: the gas price (or tip) and the gas limit required by the transaction. On some chains (Ethereum after EIP-1559) there are separate fields for base/max fees and priority tip; on others (BNB Smart Chain) the legacy gas-price model is still used.
What I've found in daily use is that the app gives quick presets (slow/normal/fast) for convenience, and an "edit" or "advanced" path for custom values on many transactions — though availability varies by chain and app version. And yes, that means your options may look different if you updated the app last week.
how to change bnb gas fee on trust wallet
Step-by-step (BEP20 / BNB Smart Chain):
If you don't see an "Edit" option, that particular token flow may not expose manual fee editing. In my experience, BSC flows usually allow at least preset control; if not, you can connect via WalletConnect to a desktop dApp to get more granular options (see the WalletConnect section below).
Quick tip: lowering the gas price saves BNB, but a price set too low can leave the transaction pending for a long time. I once set a very low Gwei and had a tx stuck for hours — patience sometimes costs less than speed.

The mechanics are similar across chains but the fields differ:
Steps:
But beware: the wallet's fields are only as good as the RPC estimate. If you override values, double-check the gas limit so you don't underpay and fail the transaction (wasting base fees). If you want a deeper explanation of fee mechanics, see Fees explained and Gas fees & optimization.

And yes — bridging costs can offset L2 savings for a single small transfer. So ask: is this a one-off swap or regular activity? If regular, moving to an L2 often pays back quickly.
"eip-1559 trust wallet" and "priority fee trust wallet"
EIP-1559 changed how transaction fees are structured on EVM chains that adopted it: a base fee is burned and a priority fee (tip) goes to validators. When Trust Wallet surfaces EIP-1559 fields you’ll typically see:
Lowering the priority fee reduces what validators earn and can slow inclusion, while lowering the max fee too close to the base fee risks the tx being rejected. In my experience, small tweaks to the priority fee are an effective way to trim costs without stalling transactions.
Trust Wallet is mobile-first. To use desktop dApps you’ll usually scan a WalletConnect QR code. There’s a difference in fee control depending on where the signing/UI originates:
If you need more precision than the mobile UI offers, connect to the dApp and check whether the wallet lets you edit gas on the signing screen. See walletconnect and dapp-browser-walletconnect for detailed setup guidance.
Gas-related UX can be abused. Phishing dApps sometimes prompt expensive transactions or changes to allowances that cost a lot of gas to undo. Always check the gas preview and read the transaction summary before tapping "Approve" or "Send."
Useful actions:
But don’t panic at every high gas estimate. Higher gas sometimes means complex smart-contract work, and that complexity can be unavoidable.
| Flow | Edit gas price? | EIP-1559 fields? | Typical use |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mobile app (send) | Usually presets + sometimes custom | Depends on chain/app version | Quick transfers, on-the-go DeFi |
| WalletConnect (desktop dApp) | Often editable in signing preview | Depends on dApp + wallet | Desktop trades, complex contracts |
| Hardware paired (mobile + Ledger) | Fee edited in app; signing on device | Depends on app | High-security signing with mobile convenience |

Who should look elsewhere:
If you’re unsure which approach you need, try routine transfers with preset fees first and escalate to advanced edits only when necessary.
Q: Is it safe to keep crypto in a hot wallet? A: Hot wallets are convenient for daily DeFi activity but trade off some security versus hardware wallets. I use a hot wallet for small amounts and a hardware wallet for long-term holdings. See security-features and ledger-hardware.
Q: How do I revoke token approvals? A: Use the revoke tool in the app if available, or a third-party revoke UI via WalletConnect. Check revoke-approvals-and-allowances for step-by-step instructions.
Q: What happens if I lose my phone? A: If you have your seed phrase, you can restore on a new device. If you lose the seed phrase too, funds are unrecoverable. See lost-phone-recovery and seed-phrase-backup.
Q: how to change bnb gas fee on trust wallet? A: See the step-by-step in the BNB section above — open the send flow, tap "Network Fee" or "Edit", choose presets or custom Gwei, then confirm.
Q: how to change network fee on trust wallet? A: Begin the transaction, tap "Edit" or "Advanced" on the confirmation screen, and update Gwei (legacy) or max/priority (EIP-1559) as exposed.
Q: how to lower gas fees on trust wallet? A: Use slower presets, shift activity to cheaper chains or L2s, avoid repeated approvals, and time transactions for low-demand windows.
Trust Wallet gives a mix of convenience and some advanced fee controls, but behavior varies by chain and app version. If you frequently need lower fees, try an L2 (see eth-and-l2-guide) or plan transactions for off-peak times.
