Trezor® is a hardware wallet designed to provide maximum security for your cryptocurrencies. Developed by SatoshiLabs, it stores your private keys offline in a secure environment, completely isolated from internet-connected devices. This approach, known as cold storage, ensures that your digital assets remain safe from online threats like hackers, malware, and phishing attacks.
The Trezor® device resembles a small USB device with a screen and buttons. It connects to your computer or mobile device only when you need to authorize a transaction, keeping your keys secure at all other times. All sensitive operations happen within the device itself, and only signed transactions are sent to your connected device.
Getting started with your Trezor® hardware wallet is straightforward. Follow these steps to ensure proper setup:
Trezor Official Website - Main portal for all Trezor® products
Trezor Suite - Desktop application for managing your crypto assets
Trezor.io/start - Step-by-step setup guide for your device
Trezor Bridge - Communication tool for browser connectivity
Trezor Troubleshooting - Official support and troubleshooting resources
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application designed specifically for Trezor® hardware wallets. It provides a secure interface to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio, send and receive transactions, and access advanced security features.
Trezor Bridge is a background service that enables communication between your Trezor® device and web browsers. It's essential for using your Trezor® with web-based interfaces like the Trezor Wallet. The Bridge automatically installs when you set up your device through Trezor.io/start, but can be manually downloaded if needed.
