A secure, offline hardware wallet designed to keep your cryptocurrency private keys isolated from internet-connected devices.
What is Trezor?
Trezor is a family of hardware wallets (developed by SatoshiLabs) that store private keys in a secure, offline device. By signing transactions on-device, Trezor protects assets from malware and phishing on connected computers or mobile devices.
Key Features
Air-gapped key storage: Private keys never leave the device — transactions are signed inside the hardware wallet.
Multiple models: Trezor One and Trezor Model T (touchscreen) offer different feature sets and supported coins.
Wide coin support: Supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, many ERC-20 tokens, Litecoin, and hundreds of other cryptocurrencies via official and third-party apps.
Seed backup & recovery: Restore wallets from a 12–24 word recovery seed; supports BIP39 and passphrase (25th word) options for extra security.
Open-source firmware: Trezor's firmware and software are open-source for public auditability.
Companion apps: Use Trezor Suite (desktop/web) or compatible wallets to view balances and create transactions.
Quick Start — Set up your Trezor
Buy official: Purchase from the official Trezor store or verified reseller to avoid tampered devices.
Initialize device: Connect the Trezor to your computer and follow Trezor Suite or the onboarding instructions to create a new device.
Write down your seed: Carefully write your recovery seed on the provided card or a secure medium. Store it offline and never photograph or store digitally.
Set up PIN & passphrase: Create a PIN for device access and optionally enable a passphrase for an extra hidden wallet layer.
Install apps: Use Trezor Suite or compatible third-party wallets to manage different coin apps and interact with dApps where supported.
Note: Always verify device integrity and follow official guides — avoid entering your seed anywhere except on the device during recovery.
Security Best Practices
Buy only from official channels and check tamper-evident packaging.
Never share your recovery seed or PIN with anyone; Trezor employees will never ask for your seed.
Store your seed offline in a secure location (consider metal backup plates for fire/water resistance).
Keep firmware updated using official Trezor Suite; verify firmware signatures where prompted.
Consider a passphrase for plausible deniability and an extra security layer — but remember that losing the passphrase means losing access to funds.
Use a hardware wallet for long-term and large holdings; only keep small balances on hot/custodial wallets for trading.
Common Questions (FAQ)
What happens if I lose my Trezor?
If you have your recovery seed, you can restore your wallet on a new Trezor or compatible wallet. Without the seed, funds are irretrievable.
Can Trezor be hacked?
Trezor's design minimizes remote attack vectors because private keys never leave the device. Physical access attacks are possible if an attacker obtains the device and seed; follow best practices to reduce risk.
Does Trezor support NFTs and dApps?
Trezor supports tokens and can interact with dApps via compatible wallets; NFT support varies by third-party wallet and platform.
