Trezor hardware wallets are the ultimate protection for your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other cryptocurrencies. Keep your private keys offline and away from hackers.
Trezor hardware wallets combine multiple layers of security to ensure your cryptocurrency remains safe from hackers, malware, and physical theft.
Your private keys never leave the device. They are generated and stored completely offline, protected from online threats and remote attacks.
Set a unique PIN code that must be entered on the device itself. After multiple failed attempts, the device wipes itself to prevent unauthorized access.
A 12 or 24-word recovery seed allows you to restore your wallet on any Trezor device. Keep it safe offline and never share it with anyone.
Add an optional passphrase as an extra layer of security. This creates hidden wallets that provide plausible deniability if ever compromised.
Completely transparent and auditable code. Security experts worldwide can verify the integrity of Trezor's firmware at any time.
Military-grade security chip that protects against physical tampering, side-channel attacks, and sophisticated hacking attempts.
