What is the Trezor® Hardware Wallet?

Short answer:

The Trezor® hardware wallet is a standalone device designed to store cryptocurrency private keys offline (cold storage). It signs transactions on-device so private keys never leave the wallet, protecting you from online threats, phishing, and malware. Trezor® supports numerous coins and integrates with the official Trezor Suite management app for an intuitive desktop/browser experience.

Key Features

Air-gapped private key storage — your seed phrase and keys remain on device.
Open-source firmware and audited code for transparency.
Compatibility with many cryptocurrencies and third-party wallets.
Recoverable via standard seed phrase (BIP39/BIP44 support depending on model).
