The Trezor Wallet represents the pioneering hardware wallet solution that revolutionized cryptocurrency security by keeping private keys completely offline while enabling secure transaction signing. As the world's first Bitcoin hardware wallet, Trezor® established the gold standard for cold storage by isolating sensitive cryptographic operations from internet-connected devices, providing unparalleled protection against online threats, malware, and phishing attacks.
All private keys are generated and stored within the secure element of the hardware device, never exposed to connected computers or mobile devices, ensuring complete immunity from online security threats.
Multi-layer security with device PIN protection and optional passphrase encryption creating hidden wallets, providing both device security and plausible deniability features.
Industry-standard 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed generated during initial setup, allowing complete wallet restoration while maintaining the highest security standards for backup protection.
Initializing your Trezor® device begins with the official setup portal, ensuring proper security configuration and firmware installation before storing any cryptocurrency assets.

This approach ensures that even if your computer is completely compromised with malware, your cryptocurrency assets remain protected within the secure hardware environment.
Your funds remain completely secure as long as you have your recovery seed phrase. Purchase a new Trezor® device, select "Recover Wallet" during setup, and enter your seed phrase to restore access to all your accounts and transaction history.
