What Is Trezor®?
Trezor® is a hardware wallet that allows you to store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies while keeping your private keys offline. Unlike software or web wallets, Trezor® isolates your sensitive data from potentially compromised devices and networks, reducing the risk of theft or unauthorized access.
Why Use a Hardware Wallet?
A hardware wallet is the most secure way to store cryptocurrencies. Since your private keys never touch the internet, they're safe from remote attacks. With Trezor®, every transaction must be physically confirmed on the device, adding another layer of protection.
Whether you're holding Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other tokens, cold storage with Trezor® is the gold standard for long-term asset protection.
Supported Digital Assets
Trezor® supports over 1,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including:
- Bitcoin (BTC)
- Ethereum (ETH)
- Litecoin (LTC)
- USDT (Tether), USDC, and other stablecoins
- ERC-20 tokens and DeFi assets
- Cardano, Solana, and many others
Trezor® Models
There are two main models of the Trezor® hardware wallet:
- Trezor Model One: The original and most affordable model, ideal for basic crypto users
- Trezor Model T: A premium device featuring a color touchscreen, wider coin support, and more security options
How to Set Up Trezor®
Setting up your Trezor® wallet is quick and secure. Follow these steps:
- Unbox the wallet and confirm that the security seals are intact
- Connect the device to your computer using the provided USB cable
- Install Trezor Suite software on your device
- Choose "Create new wallet" and follow the on-screen instructions
- Write down your 12- or 24-word recovery seed on paper and store it offline
- Set a PIN code on your Trezor® device to prevent unauthorized use
- You're ready to start receiving and managing crypto securely
Security Features
Trezor® is packed with advanced security features to protect your digital assets:
- Offline Storage: Keeps your private keys disconnected from the internet
- PIN Protection: Prevents unauthorized access to the wallet
- Passphrase Support: Adds an extra layer of security to your recovery seed
- On-Device Confirmation: Verifies transactions directly on your hardware wallet
- Open Source: Trezor® firmware is audited and maintained by a global community
Protecting Your Recovery Seed
When you create your Trezor® wallet, you’ll receive a 12- or 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is your only backup and must be stored securely. Never share it, never store it digitally, and never take photos of it. If someone gains access to this phrase, they can control your entire wallet.
Tips for Staying Secure
- Buy only from official sources or trusted resellers
- Always verify your transaction details on the device before confirming
- Keep firmware updated using Trezor Suite
- Use a passphrase for added protection (optional)
- Store your recovery phrase in a fireproof, waterproof location
Full Control of Your Assets
With Trezor®, you're not relying on a third party to manage your crypto. You hold your keys and have full control over your digital wealth. It's the ideal solution for investors, traders, and long-term holders who value privacy and security.
