Congratulations on choosing the world's most trusted hardware wallet. Let's get your Trezor device set up and secure your digital assets with industry-leading protection.
In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrency, security is paramount. While exchanges and software wallets offer convenience, they also expose your digital assets to significant risks including hacking, phishing attacks, and platform failures. Trezor hardware wallets provide an uncompromising solution: complete control over your cryptocurrency with military-grade security that keeps your private keys offline and out of reach from cybercriminals.
Since 2014, Trezor has been pioneering the hardware wallet industry, protecting billions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency for users worldwide. Our devices combine cutting-edge security technology with an intuitive user experience, making it easy for anyone to take control of their financial future. Whether you're a seasoned cryptocurrency investor or just starting your journey, Trezor provides the peace of mind that comes from knowing your assets are truly secure.
What sets Trezor apart is our unwavering commitment to transparency and security. Unlike closed-source competitors, Trezor's firmware is completely open-source, meaning security experts from around the world can audit and verify our code. This transparency ensures there are no hidden vulnerabilities or backdoors. Additionally, every Trezor device features a secure element chip that generates and stores your private keys in an isolated environment, ensuring they never touch your computer or the internet.
Setting up your Trezor device is straightforward and takes just a few minutes. Follow these steps to secure your cryptocurrency.
Carefully unpack your device and verify the holographic seal is intact. Check that all components are present including the USB cable and recovery seed cards.
Plug your Trezor device into your computer using the provided USB cable. The device will power on automatically and display the Trezor logo.
Download and install Trezor Suite application for your operating system. This is your gateway to managing your cryptocurrency securely.
Follow the on-screen instructions to create a new wallet. Write down your recovery seed on the provided cards and store them in a safe location.
The recovery seed is the most critical component of your Trezor wallet security. During the initial setup process, your device will generate a random sequence of 12 or 24 words that serve as the master key to your cryptocurrency. This recovery seed is mathematically linked to all the private keys that control your funds, making it essential for wallet recovery if your device is ever lost, stolen, or damaged.
When your Trezor displays your recovery seed, you must write it down on the provided recovery cards in the exact order shown. Never take a photograph, screenshot, or digital copy of your recovery seed. Anyone who gains access to these words can recreate your entire wallet and steal your funds. Store your recovery seed cards in a secure location such as a safe or safety deposit box, and consider keeping multiple copies in different secure locations for redundancy.
Trezor will never ask you to enter your recovery seed into any software, website, or application. The only time you should use your recovery seed is when initializing a new Trezor device for recovery purposes. Be extremely cautious of phishing attempts that request your recovery seed – legitimate support staff will never ask for this information. Protecting your recovery seed is just as important as protecting the cryptocurrency itself.
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application for managing your Trezor device and cryptocurrency portfolio. This powerful yet intuitive software serves as your gateway to sending, receiving, and monitoring your digital assets while maintaining the highest security standards. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Trezor Suite provides a seamless experience across all major operating systems.
The interface is designed with both beginners and advanced users in mind. The dashboard provides an at-a-glance view of your entire portfolio, displaying real-time values and price charts for all supported cryptocurrencies. You can easily manage multiple accounts, label transactions for better organization, and track your portfolio performance over time. The built-in exchange feature allows you to swap between different cryptocurrencies directly within the application, streamlining your trading experience.
Security features within Trezor Suite include automatic firmware updates, transaction verification, and address validation. Every outgoing transaction must be physically confirmed on your Trezor device screen, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised by malware, attackers cannot steal your funds. The application also includes privacy features such as Tor integration and coin control, giving you maximum control over your financial privacy.
Trezor employs multiple layers of protection to keep your cryptocurrency safe from all known attack vectors.
Your private keys never leave the device. All transactions are signed within the secure element, protecting you from malware and hackers.
Set up a unique PIN code that only you know. The device locks automatically and requires PIN entry for every use.
A 12 or 24-word recovery seed ensures you can restore your wallet even if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Trezor's firmware is completely open-source, audited by security experts worldwide, and transparently built for maximum trust.
Trezor hardware wallets support over 1,000 different cryptocurrencies and tokens, making them one of the most versatile storage solutions available. This includes all major cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Ripple, as well as thousands of ERC-20 tokens built on the Ethereum blockchain. The extensive compatibility ensures that as your cryptocurrency portfolio grows and diversifies, your Trezor device can accommodate new assets without requiring additional hardware.
Support for new cryptocurrencies is continuously added through firmware updates, which can be installed directly through Trezor Suite. The development team works closely with blockchain projects to ensure seamless integration and optimal security for each supported asset. Whether you're holding proof-of-work coins, proof-of-stake tokens, or the latest DeFi assets, Trezor provides secure storage with the same high level of protection across all supported cryptocurrencies.
For users seeking an additional layer of security, Trezor offers optional passphrase protection. This advanced feature allows you to add a custom word or phrase to your recovery seed, creating an entirely new wallet that's mathematically separate from your standard wallet. The passphrase acts as a 25th word in your recovery process, providing protection even if someone gains access to your recovery seed cards.
The passphrase feature is particularly useful for creating hidden wallets or implementing plausible deniability. You can maintain a small amount of cryptocurrency in your standard wallet while keeping the majority of your holdings in a passphrase-protected wallet. If you're ever forced to reveal your PIN and recovery seed under duress, the hidden wallet remains completely inaccessible without the passphrase. However, it's crucial to remember that if you forget your passphrase, there is no way to recover the funds in that wallet – the passphrase must be memorized or stored separately with the same care as your recovery seed.
A hardware wallet is a physical device designed to securely store cryptocurrency private keys offline. Unlike software wallets, hardware wallets keep your keys isolated from internet-connected devices, providing superior protection against hacking attempts, malware, and phishing attacks.
Trezor uses multiple layers of security including secure chip technology, PIN protection, and passphrase encryption. Your private keys are generated and stored exclusively on the device, never exposed to your computer or the internet. Every transaction must be physically confirmed on the device screen.
If you lose your Trezor, your funds remain safe as long as you have your recovery seed. Simply purchase a new Trezor device and use your recovery seed to restore complete access to your cryptocurrency. This is why keeping your recovery seed secure and private is crucial.
Yes! Trezor devices work with Android smartphones using a USB OTG cable. You can use the Trezor Suite mobile app or compatible third-party wallets to manage your cryptocurrency on the go while maintaining the same high level of security.
