Introduction to Trezor

Trezor is a hardware device that provides secure cold storage for cryptocurrencies. It is renowned as one of the most secure wallets for everyday cryptocurrency users, competing with Ledger Nano S and KeepKey. Developed by SatoshiLabs, Trezor ensures users' private keys are stored on the device itself, offering a recovery mechanism in case of device loss or theft. Transactions are authorized by connecting the device to a computer via USB. Trezor provides comprehensive setup and usage instructions, as well as guidance on safeguarding the recovery seed.

Features and Limitations

Trezor boasts robust security, ensuring private keys remain hidden even when connected to a potentially malware-infected computer, thanks to its high-level encryption. However, the wallet lacks hierarchical deterministic functionality and multi-signature technology. While it supports a wide range of major cryptocurrencies, its variety is not as extensive as Ledger Nano S. The wallet is available in two models, with different specifications. The more affordable model is priced at €89, making it relatively more expensive than some competitors. Nevertheless, Trezor holds a strong reputation in the wallet industry.
