Your complete guide to securing cryptocurrency with the world's most trusted hardware wallet
Trezor is a hardware wallet designed to provide secure storage for your cryptocurrency assets. Unlike software wallets that are connected to the internet, Trezor keeps your private keys offline, protecting them from online threats like hackers and malware.
Your private keys never leave the device, ensuring they're protected from online vulnerabilities and unauthorized access.
Simple setup process and intuitive interface make managing your cryptocurrency accessible to everyone.
Supports over 1,000 cryptocurrencies and integrates with popular wallet interfaces like Trezor Suite.
Setting up your Trezor device is a straightforward process that ensures your cryptocurrency remains secure from the moment you begin using it.
Carefully open your Trezor package and verify that all components are present, including the device, USB cable, and recovery seed cards.
Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor device to your computer. Ensure you're using a secure and trusted computer.
Download and install Trezor Bridge, the communication tool that allows your browser to interact securely with your Trezor device.
Follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your device. You'll be prompted to install the latest firmware for optimal security.
Generate and securely write down your recovery seed. This is the most critical step for recovering your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
Create a secure PIN that will be required each time you connect your Trezor device, adding an extra layer of protection.
Trezor incorporates multiple layers of security to protect your digital assets from various threats.
During setup, your device generates a unique 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed. This seed is the master key to all your cryptocurrency stored on the device. It's crucial to:
Your recovery seed is the only way to restore access to your funds if your Trezor is lost, stolen, or damaged. If anyone gains access to your recovery seed, they can steal all your cryptocurrency. Never share your recovery seed with anyone, and store it securely offline.
Every time you connect your Trezor, you'll need to enter your PIN directly on the device. The PIN matrix randomizes number positions to prevent shoulder surfing attacks.
For advanced security, you can enable passphrase protection, which creates a hidden wallet. Even if someone obtains your recovery seed, they cannot access your hidden wallet without the passphrase.
Trezor supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies and tokens, including all major assets and many emerging ones.
The original cryptocurrency with full SegWit and native SegWit (Bech32) support.
Full support for Ethereum and all ERC-20 tokens with integrated DeFi access.
Native support for Cardano with staking capabilities directly from the device.

Trezor regularly adds support for new cryptocurrencies through firmware updates. Check the official Trezor supported assets page for the most current list.
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application for managing your cryptocurrency with Trezor devices.
