Trezor® Wallet, developed by SatoshiLabs, is the world's first hardware cryptocurrency wallet. Unlike software wallets that are connected to the internet, Trezor® keeps your private keys offline in a secure hardware device, providing unparalleled protection against hackers, malware, and phishing attacks.
The Trezor® device is a small, key-sized hardware wallet that connects to your computer or mobile device via USB. It supports over 1,000 cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and all ERC-20 tokens. When you need to make a transaction, you connect your Trezor®, confirm the action on the device itself, and then disconnect it for safekeeping.
Key Security Features: PIN protection, passphrase encryption, two-factor authentication, open-source firmware, and offline key storage.
Setting up your Trezor® Wallet is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure your cryptocurrency is securely stored:
