What Is the Official TronDAO Wallet®?
The Official TronDAO Wallet® is a suite of secure wallet options backed by TRON DAO, letting you manage TRX and TRC‑10/TRC‑20 assets across the TRON ecosystem. Instead of a single “Official” app, TRON DAO supports several trusted wallets:
- TronLink – official browser-extension & mobile app
- TronWallet – standalone Android wallet chain-built
- TronScan Wallet – web-based with en‑crypted keystore options
- Smart Contract Wallets – experimental, on‑chain programmable wallets trondao.medium.com+15trondao.medium.com+15trondao.medium.com+15reddit.comreddit.com+5sotwe.com+5forum.trondao.org+5reddit.com+3trondao.medium.com+3dailyhodl.com+3reddit.com+2medium.com+2trondao.medium.com+2
