Requiring trust is not a positive aspect of currencies. Gold and silver succeeded in large part because they can be verified.

Gold and silver have nothing to do with currency, and they can only be used as such through trust in a currency system by participating people.

There is no such thing as a trustless currency.

This is completely untrue to the point of being the polar opposite of reality. Look up the attributes of ideal money.

Gold and silver are the original currencies. They are trustless because they can be verified easily and transferred physically.

The more trust a currency requires, the less valuable it becomes due to decreased fungibility and liquidity.
