Set Trust Line

transactionactive1 credit

Create or modify a trust line so your account can hold an issued token. Locks owner reserve while the line exists.

What

Creates (or updates) a trust line — your account's agreement to hold a specific token from a specific issuer, up to a limit you choose.

Why you'd use it

You cannot receive any issued token without one. Setting a trust line is step one of holding a stablecoin, a community token, or a token you are testing.

How

Enter the Currency Code (like USD) — 3 letters, or a 40-character hex code for longer names.
Enter the Issuer Address. Get it from the issuer's official site, not from chat messages.
Set the Trust Limit — the most of this token you are willing to hold. It is a safety cap, not a purchase.
Submit and confirm tesSUCCESS. You can now receive the token.

Watch out

Each trust line locks 0.2 XRP of owner reserve while it exists. To reclaim it, reduce the limit to 0 with a zero balance.
A trust line costs nothing to the issuer and obligates you to nothing — it only permits holding.
Scam tokens rely on people trusting the wrong issuer address. The currency code proves nothing; the issuer address is the identity.
You cannot remove a trust line while it still holds a balance.

For example

You want to receive 200 USD of a regulated stablecoin from a client. You set a trust line to the issuer with a 1,000 USD limit. Thirty seconds later, the client's payment arrives.
