Trezor® Hardware Wallet represents the pinnacle of cryptocurrency security. Created by SatoshiLabs in 2014, it was the world's first hardware wallet, establishing an entirely new standard for protecting digital assets. Unlike software wallets or exchange accounts, Trezor® devices store private keys in a completely isolated environment, ensuring they never touch internet-connected devices.
The Trezor® ecosystem features two main devices: Trezor Model T with advanced touchscreen interface and Trezor Model One with reliable button-based navigation. Both work seamlessly with Trezor Suite, the comprehensive interface for managing your cryptocurrency portfolio with enterprise-grade security.
