TOP 9 best wallets for TRON. Where to store TRX cryptocurrency?
TRON is a decentralized platform created in China in 2017 for entertainment content. The platform token is called Tron (TRX). At the time of launch, TRON was running on the Ethereum blockchain, and TRX was an ERC-20 standard token. But since mid-2018, the cryptocurrency has been using its own blockchain.
Despite the fact that initially the developers wanted to create a platform for the exchange of free decentralized content, the TRX token is a valuable crypto asset. Its market capitalization currently puts it on the 20th place in the list of cryptocurrencies, and the value of the coin is highly volatile.
If you want to start working with TRON, you will need a good crypto wallet. Today we will tell you about the official cryptocurrency wallet for TRON, as well as 7 excellent repositories of different types for TRX coins.
Overview of the official TRON wallet
The official website of the TRON cryptocurrency (TRX) is located at tron.network/. Here you can find all the information about the platform, the tokens of this blockchain (TRX, BTT, USDT and JST) and the entire ecosystem. The site is multilingual.
Unfortunately, there is no official wallet for working with TRX cryptocurrency. On the "Ecosystem" tab – "Wallets" there is a list of wallets approved by developers for TRON. For example, there is:
TronLink.
imToken.
Trust Wallet.
Exodus.
Huobi Wallet and so on.
None of them has anything to do with the TRON developers. Any service can add its storage to this list if it is used by more than 5 thousand people (or more than 5 thousand users are subscribed to the Twitter wallet). It is also required to provide a Github wallet repository (if it has open source code), an official website (if available) and a White Paper. Applications are considered within 7 days.
Thus, the official TRON website only offers users a choice of several approved wallets, and not the official storage for TRX. For all questions, you will have to contact the developers of these wallets.
Nevertheless, here we will look at one of the most reliable repositories for any cryptocurrency – a paper wallet. Paper Wallet is an ordinary paper sheet on which a private key is recorded, which opens access to the cryptocurrency, and a public address for sending transactions.
To create a paper wallet, a special service is used that generates this data. For example, you can use the TronPaperWallet service (tronpaperwallet.org ). There are 2 ways to create:
Through the website.
Offline.

Low fees;
Service from the TRON team. The developers of the TRON cryptocurrency are behind the creation of this wallet and the responsibility for performance and security lies with them;
Quick transfer of funds;
Staking. With TronLink, you can freeze TRON coins and receive passive income from staking.
Disadvantages:
All tokens and cryptocurrencies work on the TRON Mainnet network or similar. What does it mean? For example, you will add Bitcoin to TronLink, but it will work on the TRON network. From here, the problem is that you just can't make an exchange using services if it doesn't accept Bitcoin TRX. Therefore, it is best to use this wallet to store TRON and Tether TRC-20.
An important point: to transfer between wallets, you need to have a TRON on your balance to pay the commission.
