Wide compatibility

Works with major blockchains and wallets. Use Trezor with desktop or web apps for a seamless experience.

Open & auditable

Frequently asked questions

What do I do if I lose my Trezor?
Your recovery seed is the true key. Restore your wallet on a replacement device using your backup words. If you lose both device and seed, funds cannot be recovered.
Is firmware updates safe?
Updates are cryptographically signed. Only install updates from official sources: Trezor Suite or trezor.io. If in doubt, contact Support.
Can I use Trezor offline?
Yes — signing transactions is performed on-device. You may compose unsigned transactions on an offline machine and sign them on your Trezor for added security.

Why choose a hardware wallet?

A hardware wallet isolates your private keys from networked devices. This dramatically reduces the attack surface compared with hot wallets or centralized custodial solutions. When properly initialized and backed up, a hardware wallet provides a durable, durable and auditable layer of protection for long-term holdings and everyday transactions. Trezor combines transparent engineering, audited firmware, and an intuitive management suite so both novices and advanced users can control custody with confidence.
