Secure Bitcoin & Cryptocurrency — hardware-first protection for your keys and transactions.
Keep your keys offline — own your crypto with confidence
Trezor hardware wallets are built to store private keys in a secure environment, separate from your computer or phone. Whether you're holding Bitcoin, Ethereum, or thousands of other tokens, Trezor gives you the tools to manage assets safely — from basic sending and receiving to multisig and developer workflows.
Open-source
Transparent firmware and client software you can audit and trust.
Multi-coin
Supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and thousands of tokens through integrations and native support.
Proven security
Decade-long track record of protecting user funds with robust, reviewed cryptography.
Getting started — step-by-step
Follow these clear steps to initialize a new Trezor device and secure your recovery seed. Do not rush the process—your recovery phrase is the critical backup for your funds.
Buy from official sources: Purchase only from the official Trezor website or authorized resellers to avoid tampered devices.
Unbox & inspect: Verify packaging and tamper-evident seals. Do not use a device that looks opened or altered.
Install Trezor Suite: Download the official companion app from the Trezor site to initialize the device and manage accounts.
Initialize device: Choose to set up a new device (generate a new mnemonic) or restore from an existing recovery seed.
Create a PIN: Set a local PIN on the device to protect against physical access. PIN entry only occurs on-device.
Write down your recovery seed: Carefully write down the mnemonic words provided by the device on a physical medium. Consider metal backups for long-term safety.
Verify seed: The device will ask you to confirm words to ensure you recorded them correctly. After verification, add accounts in Trezor Suite and start using your wallet.
Quick setup (commands)
1. Download: https://trezor.io
2. Install Trezor Suite and open the app
3. Connect your Trezor device via USB
4. Follow the setup wizard: create PIN, write seed, verify
5. Add accounts and manage assets
Managing assets
Trezor Suite shows your balances, transaction history, and lets you send and receive assets securely. For chains with third-party integrations, Trezor can be used with compatible wallets (e.g., Electrum, MetaMask) for specialized features while keeping keys isolated.
Security — core principles
Security is at the heart of Trezor design. Below are the principles and practices that ensure your keys are protected.
Isolated keys
Private keys never leave the device; signing happens internally and is confirmed by the user on-device.
Deterministic seed
Your recovery phrase follows BIP39 standards — a single backup restores all your accounts on compatible hardware.
Open-source audits
Firmware and tooling are open to community review, increasing transparency and trust.
Best practices
Record your recovery phrase physically and keep it offline. Consider metal backups for fire/water resistance.
Never enter your recovery seed into a computer, phone, or website.
Verify receiving addresses on the device screen before sending funds.
Only download Trezor Suite or firmware updates from the official site.
Use a passphrase (optional) for extra security and plausible deniability — understand the trade-offs before enabling it.
Advanced workflows & developer features
Trezor supports advanced users and developers with tools for multisignature wallets, custom derivation paths, and SDKs to integrate hardware signing into apps and services.
Multisig
Combine multiple hardware wallets (including Trezor devices) to require multiple signatures for high-value transactions — ideal for teams, businesses, or high-security personal setups.
Third-party integrations
Use Trezor with compatible wallets like Electrum, Wasabi, MetaMask, and others for specialized features (CoinJoin, privacy tools, DeFi access) while keeping private keys on-device.
Developer APIs
Trezor provides libraries and documentation for building signing flows in web and native apps. Always include attestation and clear user prompts to ensure secure UX.
Recovery & lost-device scenarios
If your device is lost or damaged, you can recover funds using your recovery phrase on a new Trezor device or any BIP39-compatible wallet. Keep multiple secure backups of your seed in separate physical locations to prevent permanent loss.
FAQ
Can I export my private keys?
No — private keys do not leave the device. The intended design prevents export to protect against theft and malware.
Are Trezor devices compatible with Ledger?
Trezor follows open standards (BIP32/39/44). While firmware is vendor-specific, recovery seeds are generally compatible with other BIP39-compliant wallets. Always follow vendor guidance for restores.
Do Trezor devices support NFTs?
Yes — NFTs on supported blockchains can be managed with compatible wallets and Trezor integrations. Verify contract addresses and metadata before interacting.
