Most Stellar wallets use the same principles when adding trustlines.

Trustlines

“In order to trade, receive, or hold any asset on the Stellar network you must first establish a trustline with the anchor’s issuing account. An issuing account is an anchor’s Stellar account that created the asset. Trustlines are set using the Change Trust operation and cost a base reserve fee of 0.5 lumens each. What this means is that for each trustline you set, your account will be required to maintain 0.5 lumens in reserve that can’t be spent until you close your trustlines” from Stellar Community

Most Stellar based wallets use the same principles when adding trustlines and will either request the anchor domain (fredenergy.org or the asset code and issuer.

Asset Code: FRED

Issuer: GCA73U2PZFWAXJSNVMEVPNPPJCZGETWPWZC6E4DJAIWP3ZW3BAGYZLV
