Your comprehensive guide to setting up and securing your cryptocurrency hardware wallet.
Get StartedWhat is a Trezor Wallet?
A Trezor wallet is a type of hardware wallet, a physical device designed to provide a high level of security for your cryptocurrencies. Unlike software wallets that exist on your computer or phone, a hardware wallet keeps your private keys—the critical piece of information used to authorize outgoing transactions—in a secure, offline environment.
This offline storage makes your funds immune to online threats like viruses, malware, and phishing attacks. By choosing a Trezor, you are taking a significant step towards sovereign ownership of your digital assets, ensuring that only you have control over your funds.
Core Features
Multi-Currency Support
Manage hundreds of coins and tokens with one device, providing a versatile solution for your entire portfolio.
Offline Storage
Your private keys are stored in an isolated, offline environment, protecting them from online hacking attempts.
PIN Protection
A user-defined PIN code is required to access the device, preventing unauthorized physical access.
Recovery Seed
A 12 to 24-word recovery seed allows you to restore your entire wallet if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
User-Friendly Interface
The Trezor Suite application provides an intuitive interface for managing your assets with ease and confidence.
Open-Source Firmware
Trezor's firmware is open-source, allowing for independent security audits and community verification.
Security Insights
Protect Your Private Keys
Your private keys are everything. A Trezor wallet generates and stores them offline. Never enter your recovery seed on any computer or mobile device.
Secure Your Recovery Seed
Write down your recovery seed on paper and store it in a safe, private place. Consider multiple secure locations. Never store it digitally.
Use a Strong PIN
Set a strong, non-obvious PIN for your device. This is your first line of defense against physical theft.
Verify Addresses on Device
Always confirm the recipient's address on your Trezor's screen before sending funds. Malware can alter addresses on your computer.
Beware of Phishing
Be skeptical of unsolicited emails, messages, or websites asking for your wallet information. Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed.
