Cold Storage & Key Isolation

Private keys are generated and stored inside the Trezor device — they never leave the hardware. Transactions are signed on-device, keeping secrets out of the internet-exposed computer environment.

🛡️

Open-source & Auditable

Trezor firmware and software are open-source which allows independent audits and community scrutiny — an important trust signal for security-conscious users.

Multi-Asset & Integrations

Supports major cryptocurrencies (BTC, ETH, many altcoins and tokens) and integrates with Trezor Suite, third-party wallets, and developer tools for advanced workflows.

How Trezor protects your crypto — explained

At its core, Trezor splits the crypto user experience into two parts: the offline secret management and the online interface. Your private keys and seed phrase are created and stored inside the device. Whenever you want to send funds, the unsigned transaction is built by your laptop or phone, then sent to the Trezor device. The device displays the transaction details (recipient address, amount, fee) on its screen and requires you to physically confirm the operation. Only after confirmation does the device sign the transaction and return the signed payload to the host to broadcast to the network — the private key itself never leaves the device.

Setup & Recovery

Setting up Trezor is straightforward: connect the device, open Trezor Suite or the web interface, and follow the onboarding. You will create a PIN and generate a recovery seed (12–24 words). Store the recovery seed offline in a safe place — it is the ultimate backup for your funds. If the device is lost or damaged, the seed allows recovery on a new device or compatible software.

Advanced protections

For additional security, enable a passphrase (an optional 25th word) that creates hidden wallets. Use a strong device PIN, keep firmware updated through official channels, and double-check addresses on the device screen to avoid malware-based address substitution.

Frequently asked questions

Is my seed phrase safe if my computer is compromised?

Yes — the seed phrase and private keys remain on the device. A compromised computer cannot extract the keys. However, malware can attempt to trick users into signing malicious transactions, so always verify details on the device screen.

Can I restore my wallet on another device?

Absolutely — use your recovery seed on a new Trezor or compatible wallet to restore access. Keep the seed secure and treat it like cash.

Do I need to install software?

Trezor Suite (desktop) or the supported web interfaces enable device interaction. The device itself handles signing; the software provides a convenient UI.

Is Trezor suitable for beginners?

Yes. Guided onboarding, clear on-device prompts, and community resources make hardware wallets accessible. Start small and learn the flow.
