Setting Up a Trustline in Hana Wallet

🤝 To receive Stellar assets (non-XLM tokens) in Hana Wallet, you must first establish a trustline. This is a simple process that allows your wallet to accept and manage Stellar-based tokens.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up a Trustline in Hana Wallet

  1. Open Hana Wallet

    • Launch the Hana Wallet app or desktop extension.

  2. Go to Manage

    • In the bottom menu, tap or click Manage.

  3. Select Receive

    • Tap or click the Receive button.

  4. (Optional) Filter for Stellar Tokens

    • If you want to view only Stellar assets, tap the chain dropdown and select Stellar.

    • This will display only Stellar-based tokens available for trustline setup.

  5. Choose the Token

    • From the list, tap the token for which you want to set up a trustline.

  6. Tap "Setup Trustline"

    • On the token details page, tap Setup Trustline.

    • Confirm the transaction when prompted.

    • A small amount of XLM (typically 0.5 XLM) will be reserved to establish the trustline.

  7. Success! Your Trustline is Now Active

    • Once the trustline is set up, your wallet is now able to receive and manage that token.


What Are Trustlines in Stellar?

A trustline is a required connection between your Stellar wallet and an asset issuer that allows you to hold and transact with non-XLM assets on the Stellar blockchain.

💡 Unlike other blockchains where any token can be sent to a wallet, Stellar requires users to opt-in to receiving specific assets by setting up a trustline.


Why Are Trustlines Necessary?

  1. Prevents Spam

    • Without trustlines, any project could send tokens to your wallet, cluttering your account with unwanted assets.

  2. Controls Asset Exposure

    • You choose which Stellar assets you want to receive and manage.

  3. Optimizes the Stellar Network

    • Trustlines prevent unnecessary blockchain data and help maintain efficiency.

  4. Fulfills Stellar’s Minimum Balance Requirement

    • Each trustline reserves a small amount of XLM (0.5 XLM per trustline) to ensure users actively manage their assets.
