Trézor Wallét -*Secure Wallet

Trezor wallet, as mentioned earlier is one of the longest standing crypto hardware wallets. It was the very first hardware wallet on the scene, having been launched...

When it comes to looking after your digital assets, hardware wallets offer the best combination of security and convenience. The first company ever to make a hardware wallet was the Czech company Trezor which formed in 2012, and 10 years later they are still making very high quality devices to protect your crypto. A Trezor hardware wallet is a device that allows you to store your digital assets, such as cryptocurrencies and NFTs, offline. Referred to as a ‘cold’ wallet, this type of storage represents the best defense against hackers, and is ideal for those who don’t use their assets on a daily basis. A Trezor cold wallet allows you to send, receive and store hundreds of cryptocurrencies and NFTs in an extremely secure manner. You can also use a Trezor wallet to buy and swap cryptocurrencies, something that other wallets cannot do. Another benefit of a Trezor hardware wallet is that even if you lose access to the device, for example if you misplace it or it breaks, you can simply reload the accounts onto a new device without worrying about anyone else stealing them. This means that you will never lose access to the assets themselves. Trezor has launched two models in its time – the Model One in 2014, which was the first ever hardware wallet, and the Model T in 2018. It has also made variations, such as a luxury titanium and gold model in 2019, but these remain its core products. A Trezor wallet is designed to keep digital assets offline while not being used, making it much harder for someone other than the wallet’s owner to move them. Digital assets held in phone or computer wallets, or left on an exchange, are referred to as ‘hot’ wallets. These wallets are maintained by third-parties, with your wallet details held on their servers. If a hacker gets access to that information then they can potentially get into your wallet behind the scenes and move your assets without you knowing. A Trezor cold wallet however is its own entity, not connected to a server or even to the internet when not being used. No one can hack into a Trezor hardware wallet, while the assets held on it cannot be moved by anyone who doesn’t have physical access to it. This means that a Trezor cold wallet is essentially unhackable, as long as you take the precautions we’ll outline later. To send assets using a Trezor wallet, you’ll need to connect your Trezor to a computer and use either the Trezor Suite through its website or a third-party wallet. Fortunately, Trezor is a well known brand in the crypto space and many wallet apps support it, such as Exodus, MyEtherWallet and MetaMask. You can’t interact with your Trezor wallet without first plugging it onto a computer.
