What Is Trezor?

The Trezor Hardware Wallet is a physical device that keeps your private keys offline, isolated, and immune to online threats. Designed by SatoshiLabs, it offers unmatched protection for your cryptocurrencies while giving you complete ownership of your funds.

Why Go Hardware?

🔐 Pro Tip: Never use a second-hand Trezor or download software from unofficial sources.

Installing and Exploring Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official app used to interact with your hardware wallet. It's available for desktop and web. The desktop version is preferred for higher privacy. Once installed, you'll gain access to portfolio tracking, in-app crypto purchasing, exchange, and advanced privacy tools.
