What is Trezor Wallet?

Trezor is a hardware wallet designed to provide the highest level of security for cryptocurrencies without sacrificing convenience. Created by SatoshiLabs in 2014, it was the world's first Bitcoin hardware wallet, establishing a new standard for secure cryptocurrency storage.

Unlike software wallets that are connected to the internet, Trezor keeps your private keys offline in a secure hardware device. This approach, known as cold storage, protects your assets from online threats like hackers, malware, and phishing attacks.

Trezor supports over 1,000 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and all ERC-20 tokens. The device features a small screen that displays and verifies transaction details, ensuring you always know what you're signing.

Can I recover my wallet if I lose my Trezor device?

Yes, you can recover your wallet on a new Trezor device (or compatible wallet) using your recovery seed. This is why it's crucial to store your recovery seed securely and never digitally.

Is Trezor Suite necessary to use my Trezor wallet?

No, you can use the web interface at wallet.trezor.io, but Trezor Suite offers a more feature-rich experience with portfolio tracking, exchange integration, and better coin support.

What happens if I forget my PIN?

If you forget your PIN, you'll need to wipe the device and restore it using your recovery seed. This is a security feature to prevent unauthorized access after too many failed PIN attempts.

Can I use Trezor with mobile devices?

Yes, with an OTG adapter for Android devices. iOS support is more limited due to Apple's restrictions, but you can use Trezor with some third-party wallets that support hardware wallet integration.
