Cold storage for your crypto — official setup, security best practices, and FAQs.
Trezor hardware wallets provide a trusted way to store cryptocurrency private keys offline — away from web-connected devices and remote attackers. Using Trezor Suite (the official companion app) you can safely manage balances, sign transactions, and interact with supported coins while the device itself keeps your keys isolated and secure.
Trezor is a family of physical devices designed to store private keys offline (cold storage). Transactions are prepared on your computer or phone but signed on the device’s secure hardware and confirmed on its screen. This means malware on your computer cannot extract keys or sign unauthorized transactions without physical confirmation.
Visit the official start page: open Trezor.io/start to download the authentic Trezor Suite installer.
Install Trezor Suite: run the official desktop or mobile app for your operating system.
Connect your device: use the original USB cable or follow the official wireless pairing instructions for supported models.
Install firmware: allow Trezor Suite to install signed firmware — do not accept firmware from unknown sources.
Create a wallet backup: the device will generate a wallet backup (the list of words used to restore your funds); write it down and store it offline.
Set PIN & options: choose a strong PIN and consider enabling a passphrase for an extra hidden-wallet layer.
Private keys remain offline on the device (cold storage).
Support for hundreds of coins and tokens via Trezor Suite and compatible wallets.
On-device verification of transaction details before signing.
Open-source firmware and public audits for transparency.
Advanced backup options (including Shamir and passphrase-protected wallets).
Trezor has a long history in hardware wallet security, publishing guides, device authentication checks and firmware verification processes. The combination of signed firmware, device authentication, and open-source tooling builds a strong trust model — particularly when users follow the official setup flow and only install software from the official site.
