CZ Talks on TWT's Past Struggles as Trust Wallet Drops New Roadmap

KEY INSIGHTS

• CZ  cites 99% burn as reason Trust Wallet token's slow growth.

• Trust Wallet has launched a new roadmap to create a flywheel of engagement to boost adoption for the TWT token.

• TWT will now unlock features like fee discounts, staking boosts, and airdrops.

• The goal is to align token utility with user growth and platform expansion.

Binance founder Changpeng Zhao (CZ) has weighed in on the Trust Wallet Token's (TWT) journey and earlier challenges, following the release of its latest litepaper. In a response to the roadmap announcement on X, CZ offered rare insight into the token’s origins and why it had not seen high adoption earlier.

According to CZ, “TWT token started as an experiment. The FDV got too high quickly. They burned 99% of the supply, but didn't have too many use cases for it. Now that's expanding.” This remark comes as the Trust Wallet team moves to make TWT a huge part of platform.

The newly released litepaper acknowledges that TWT’s past utility did not fully reflect the rapid evolution of the Trust Wallet platform. To address this, the team proposed a phased rollout of new features and tier-based benefits designed to “align TWT utility with platform growth and user loyalty.”

The goal is to create a “flywheel effect” where increased platform activity boosts TWT demand, and vice versa. Among the roadmap’s highlights are four key product layers:

• Everyday Finance: Including cross-chain swaps, fiat ramps, Trust Pay and Trust Card integration.

• Advanced Trading: Introducing leverage up to 100x, prediction markets, and AI analytics.

•  Earn & Grow: Offering staking, lending, boosted yields for TWT holders, and early access to new tokens.

• Open-Ended Innovation: A future-facing approach to identity and Web3 utility.

To drive adoption, TWT holders will be eligible for exclusive rewards, service access, fee discounts, and governance participation depending on their engagement level.

From casual users to “Moonwalkers,” the token’s tier system mirrors loyalty programs seen in traditional finance.

Trust Wallet Token Vs Other DeFi Coins

While other DeFi coin like UNI (Uniswap), CAKE (PancakeSwap), or CRV (Curve DAO) offer governance and fee discounts, TWT’s roadmap stands out for its user-centric approach.

It seems to blend wallet-level features with earning potential and direct community incentives. 

Also notable is the upcoming rewards-driven accelerator program aimed at connecting early-stage Web3 projects to real users through allowlists, quests, and incentives, all powered by TWT. This could position the token not just as a reward, but as an access pass into the next wave of crypto innovation.

With over 210 million app users and a growing suite of tools, Trust Wallet appears ready to move beyond its early limitations. The roadmap's design reflects a deep focus on retention, utility, and ecosystem growth.

Looking ahead, TWT may finally be ready to fulfill the role it was always meant to play with the latest roadmap.
