CZ asks Trust Wallet to simplify hidden coin controls

Binance cofounder Changpeng “CZ” Zhao said Trust Wallet could make its existing Ignore coins feature easier to access after unsolicited meme tokens complicated management of his public wallet. Summary CZ said Trust Wallet already offers an Ignore coins feature, but access requires five steps. Zhao reversed his earlier view after users said hiding unsolicited tokens provides practical wallet management. Trust Wallet has not publicly announced a release date or confirmed specific interface changes yet. Public addresses can receive tokens without permission, while wallet applications can only hide their display. CZ retired his closely watched public wallet after unsolicited meme coins complicated balance management there. Zhao acknowledged on Aug. 17 that he had misjudged how useful the control could be. He said members of the Trust Wallet team told him that users can already ignore unwanted tokens, although reaching the option requires five steps. No formal Trust Wallet announcement followed his post. The company has not confirmed a product update, specified which application versions may change or published a release date.

He reconsidered after people explained that unsolicited assets regularly appear in public cryptocurrency addresses. “I misjudged that. A few people mentioned it is a useful feature,” Zhao wrote. He said the Trust Wallet team had seen the discussion and informed him about the existing Ignore coins option. Zhao then offered a personal expectation rather than a confirmed development plan. “I assume they will make some updates to this feature soon,” Zhao said. Trust Wallet has not publicly confirmed that assumption. I mis-judged that. A few people mentioned it is a useful feature. @TrustWallet team saw this too. They told me there is a "Ignore coins" already, but it is buried 5 clicks deep. I assume they will make some updates to this feature soon. 🙏 https://t.co/yLY72NtWap — CZ 🔶 BNB (@cz_binance) August 17, 2026 Making the control easier to find could help users organize wallets filled with spam, dust or unsupported assets. It would not remove the tokens from the blockchain or prevent other people from sending more assets to the same address. Trust Wallet’s glossary advises users not to move or spend unknown dust. It also recommends using tools that hide or ignore unrecognized small balances. Trust Wallet cannot remove tokens from a blockchain Public blockchain addresses can receive compatible tokens without approval from the address owner. A sender only needs the destination address and enough funds to pay the network fee. Wallet software acts as an interface for reading and displaying blockchain records.
