BIP-44 on secp256k1, coin type 195. Addresses are base58 and begin with T.

The index

{index} is the address leaf, so all your Tron wallets sit under one account, m/44'/195'/0'.
A Tron key is the same kind of key as an Ethereum one, secp256k1, with the address derived from the public key in much the same way and then encoded differently. That similarity is a trap: your Tron wallet and your EVM wallet are not the same key, because the coin type differs (195 against 60). Converting an Ethereum address to Tron format will not give you your Tron wallet.
1

Install TronLink from tronlink.org

Type the domain yourself. TronLink ships as a browser extension and as a mobile app.
2

Import a wallet using the mnemonic phrase

TronLink imports from a mnemonic phrase, a private key or a keystore file. Choose the mnemonic option and enter the words in order.
3

Set a local password

New, local to the device, unrelated to anything in Trustodian.
4

Compare the address

The first account is index 0. Match it against your first Trustodian Tron wallet before looking at balances.
5

Add accounts for further wallets

Adding an account under the same imported phrase walks up the address index. Do not expect a derivation path field: TronLink’s ordinary import uses the standard path and does not ask. If a tool does offer one, m/44'/195'/0'/0/{index} is the value.

Fees

Tron charges for transactions in bandwidth and energy, which are either staked for or paid in TRX. A wallet holding only TRC-20 tokens and no TRX cannot send them. If you are recovering a token balance, send a small amount of TRX to the address first.

Verifying

Compare the address against your Trustodian Tron wallet before trusting the balance. See Troubleshooting.

Vaults

A Tron vault is built from the account’s own permission structure: an owner permission and an active permission, each listing the owners with a threshold. That configuration lives on the chain, so nothing has to be rebuilt. Your Recovery Kit records the vault’s account address, so you do not have to remember it. The procedure is on Tron vaults.
