Cold Storage You Can Trust

When you keep cryptocurrency on an exchange, you don't actually control your funds—the exchange does. They hold your private keys, meaning you're trusting them with your assets. Exchanges are prime targets for hackers, and many have been breached over the years, resulting in billions of dollars in losses. With Trezor, you have complete control. Your private keys are generated on the device and never leave it. You're the only person who can access your funds. As the saying goes in crypto: 'Not your keys, not your coins.' Trezor ensures your keys stay yours.

If you lose your Trezor, your cryptocurrency is NOT lost. During setup, you write down a 24-word recovery seed (also called a mnemonic phrase). This seed is a backup of your entire wallet. If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can buy a new Trezor and restore your wallet using these 24 words. Your funds will be fully recovered. This is why it's critical to store your recovery seed safely—write it on the included recovery cards, never store it digitally, and keep it in a secure location like a safe. The seed is the only way to recover your wallet, so protect it like cash.

Trezor has never been remotely hacked in over 10 years of operation. The device is designed with multiple layers of security: your private keys are generated offline and never leave the device, every transaction must be physically confirmed with buttons, and the firmware is cryptographically signed and open-source so anyone can verify there are no backdoors. Even if someone steals your Trezor, they cannot access your funds without your PIN. After multiple wrong PIN attempts, the device introduces exponentially increasing delays, making brute-force attacks impractical. For additional security, you can use a passphrase to create hidden wallets.

Trezor supports over 1,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens, including all major coins like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. Both Trezor Model T and Model One support the same cryptocurrencies. The full list is constantly expanding as new coins are added. You can manage all your crypto in one place using the Trezor Suite application, which provides a unified interface for your entire portfolio across multiple blockchains.

Both models offer the same core security features and support the same cryptocurrencies. The main differences are in the user interface and advanced features. The Model T has a full-color touchscreen for entering your PIN and passphrase directly on the device, making it more secure against keyloggers. It also supports Shamir Backup, which allows you to split your recovery seed into multiple shares. The Model One uses a two-button interface and requires you to enter PIN and passphrase on your computer. Model T is recommended for users who want the most advanced features and best user experience, while Model One is perfect for those seeking essential, proven security at a lower price point.

Yes! Trezor is designed for everyone, not just crypto experts. The setup process takes less than 10 minutes and is guided step-by-step by the Trezor Suite application. You don't need any technical knowledge. The interface is intuitive, with clear instructions at every step. Whether you're sending, receiving, or just checking your balance, everything is straightforward. The included quick start guide walks you through the initial setup, and our comprehensive knowledge base and video tutorials are available 24/7 if you need help. Millions of users worldwide—from complete beginners to advanced traders—trust Trezor to secure their crypto.

No, you only need to connect your Trezor when you want to send cryptocurrency or check your balance. Your funds are always stored on the blockchain, not on the device itself. The Trezor simply stores the private keys needed to access and control those funds. When you're not using it, you can disconnect it and store it safely. This offline storage is what makes hardware wallets so secure—your keys are isolated from the internet and can't be remotely accessed by hackers.
