Trezor
In August of 2014, Trezor, a Bitcoin hardware wallet, was released. It was the first Bitcoin hardware wallet, providing safe cold storage and the convenience of a hot wallet for spending. Trezor is a tiny, key-sized gadget that uses a USB connection to connect to your computer. It signs transactions and saves your private keys for Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Bitcoin Cash, Ripple (XRP), Cardano (ADA), Ethereum Classic (ETC), Monero, Zcash, and other cryptocurrencies. Trezor is safe to use on a computer that has been infected with malware.
Trezor is a bitcoin (BTC) security device that protects both against physical and virtual theft. It is a high-density wallet in which you control the private keys, allowing you to back up a whole wallet using the 24 words created during setup. The device’s and computer’s RNG are used to produce the initial 24-word seed. The seed is planted offline and shown on the screen of the Trezor, ensuring that it is never stored on any internet-connected device.
