Discover why millions of users trust Trezor to secure their digital assets with cutting-edge hardware wallet technology
Trezor hardware wallets utilize military-grade encryption and secure chip technology to protect your cryptocurrency holdings. Every transaction requires physical confirmation on your device, preventing unauthorized access even if your computer is compromised. With Trezor, your private keys are generated and stored exclusively on the device, never exposed to the internet or any potentially vulnerable software.
Unlike hot wallets that remain connected to the internet, Trezor provides true cold storage security. Your private keys are stored offline in a secure element chip, making them immune to online hacking attempts, phishing attacks, and malware. This offline approach means hackers would need physical access to your device, and even then, they would face multiple layers of security including PIN protection and optional passphrase encryption.
Trezor is designed with privacy as a fundamental principle. No personal information is required to use your wallet, and all transactions are processed without revealing your identity. The device uses advanced cryptographic techniques to ensure that your financial activities remain private. Trezor doesn't track your transactions, doesn't collect data about your holdings, and operates completely independently of any centralized service.
During initial setup, Trezor generates a unique 12 or 24-word recovery seed phrase. This seed is your ultimate backup, allowing you to restore your entire wallet and all associated cryptocurrency holdings if your device is ever lost, stolen, or damaged. The recovery process is straightforward and secure, and the seed can be used with any compatible wallet software, ensuring you never lose access to your funds regardless of circumstances.
Trezor supports over 1,800 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and countless ERC-20 tokens. The device seamlessly integrates with popular wallet interfaces like Trezor Suite, allowing you to manage multiple blockchain assets from a single, secure platform. Whether you're holding major cryptocurrencies or exploring emerging altcoins, Trezor provides comprehensive support with regular firmware updates adding new currencies.
Trezor's firmware and software are completely open source, meaning security experts worldwide can review and verify the code. This transparency ensures there are no hidden vulnerabilities or backdoors. The open-source approach builds trust through community oversight and allows for continuous security improvements. When you choose Trezor, you're choosing a solution that has been scrutinized and validated by thousands of independent security researchers globally.
Follow this comprehensive guide to set up your Trezor hardware wallet in minutes and start securing your cryptocurrency with confidence
Carefully open your Trezor package and verify that all security seals are intact. Your package should include the Trezor hardware wallet, USB cable, recovery seed cards, and user manual. Check that the holographic seal on the box has not been tampered with. This is crucial for ensuring your device hasn't been compromised before reaching you. If anything looks suspicious or the seal is broken, do not use the device and contact Trezor support immediately. Genuine Trezor devices come with specific packaging features that distinguish them from counterfeits.
💡 Pro Tips:
Using the provided USB cable, connect your Trezor device to your computer. The device will power on automatically when connected. You'll see the Trezor logo appear on the screen, indicating the device is initializing. Make sure you're using the official Trezor cable that came with your device. Third-party cables may not provide adequate data transmission security. Always connect directly to your computer's USB port rather than through a USB hub for optimal security. Your Trezor device receives power from the USB connection and doesn't require batteries.
💡 Pro Tips:
Navigate to trezor.io/start and download the official Trezor Suite software for your operating system. Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. This application provides a comprehensive interface for managing your cryptocurrency holdings, viewing transaction history, and configuring security settings. Always download from the official Trezor website to avoid phishing attempts and malicious software. The software will automatically detect your connected Trezor device and guide you through the initial setup process. Trezor Suite includes built-in security features and regular updates.
💡 Pro Tips:
Follow the on-screen instructions to create a strong PIN code. Your PIN should be memorable but difficult for others to guess. The PIN entry uses a randomized keypad displayed on your computer screen, while the actual numbers are shown only on your Trezor device screen. This prevents keyloggers from capturing your PIN. After setting your PIN, you'll generate your recovery seed - a sequence of 12 or 24 words. Write these words down on the provided recovery card in the exact order shown. Never take a photo or store the seed digitally. This seed is your ultimate backup and can restore your entire wallet if your device is lost or damaged.
💡 Pro Tips:
Complete the setup by verifying your recovery seed. Trezor Suite will ask you to confirm several words from your seed to ensure you've written them down correctly. This verification step is critical - without your seed, you cannot recover your funds if something happens to your device. Once verified, your Trezor wallet is ready to use. You can now receive cryptocurrency by generating a receiving address, which is displayed and must be verified on your Trezor device screen. Always confirm addresses on the device before sharing them. Your Trezor is now protecting your digital assets with industry-leading security.

Learn about the multiple layers of security that make Trezor the most trusted hardware wallet in the cryptocurrency industry
Trezor utilizes a certified secure element chip that provides hardware-level protection against physical tampering and side-channel attacks. This chip is the same technology used in passports and credit cards.
Your device is protected by a PIN code with unlimited length possibilities. After multiple failed attempts, the device implements exponential delays, making brute-force attacks impractical.
Add an optional 25th word to your recovery seed for an additional layer of security. This creates a hidden wallet that's invisible without the passphrase, protecting against physical device theft.
Every time you connect your Trezor, the firmware is verified using cryptographic signatures. This ensures no malicious code has been installed on your device, protecting against sophisticated supply chain attacks.
⚠️ Critical Warning: Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed. Beware of phishing attempts via email, social media, or fake websites. Always verify you're on the official trezor.io domain before entering any information.
