Trezor® Hardware Wallet is the original cryptocurrency hardware wallet, first introduced in 2014 by SatoshiLabs. It's a dedicated electronic device designed specifically to secure cryptocurrency private keys offline, providing protection against online threats, malware, and unauthorized access.
Unlike software wallets or exchange storage, Trezor® keeps your private keys isolated from internet-connected devices, ensuring that your digital assets remain safe even if your computer or smartphone is compromised. The device features a secure display and physical buttons for verifying and confirming all transactions directly on the hardware.
Trezor® supports over 1,600 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and all ERC-20 tokens, making it one of the most versatile hardware wallets on the market.

Trezor® hardware wallets support over 1,600 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dash, Zcash, and all ERC-20 tokens. The exact supported coins vary slightly between Model One and Model T, with the latter supporting more advanced cryptocurrencies.
Can I recover my wallet if I lose my Trezor® device?

What's the difference between Trezor Suite and Trezor Wallet?
Trezor Suite is the newer, more advanced interface for managing your Trezor® device, offering better performance, more features, and improved security. Trezor Wallet (wallet.trezor.io) is the legacy web interface. SatoshiLabs recommends using Trezor Suite for the best experience.
Do I need to install Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is necessary for the Trezor® device to communicate with web browsers. It's automatically installed with Trezor Suite. If you're using the web version of Trezor Wallet, you may need to install Bridge separately for browser compatibility.
Is Trezor® compatible with third-party wallets?
Yes, Trezor® devices can be used with several third-party wallet interfaces like Exodus, MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, and Electrum. However, for maximum security, it's recommended to use the official Trezor Suite application.
How often should I update my Trezor® firmware?
You should install firmware updates as soon as they become available. These updates often include security enhancements, new features, and support for additional cryptocurrencies. Trezor Suite will notify you when updates are available.
