Trezor® Wallet is a hardware cryptocurrency wallet manufactured by SatoshiLabs. As the world's first Bitcoin hardware wallet, it provides unparalleled security by storing users' private keys on a dedicated device, completely isolated from internet-connected devices. This approach significantly reduces vulnerability to hacking attempts, malware, and phishing attacks that commonly target software wallets.
The Trezor® device resembles a small USB device with a screen and buttons. All transactions must be physically confirmed on the device itself, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your funds remain secure. Trezor® supports over 1,000 cryptocurrencies and tokens, making it one of the most versatile hardware wallets available.
Key Security Features: PIN protection, passphrase encryption, two-factor authentication, and offline transaction signing.
