What is Trezor?

Trezor is a hardware wallet that allows you to safely store, send and receive a wide range of cryptocurrencies. Launched in 2014, Trezor is owned by SatoshiLabs, located in the Czech Republic. Being a hardware wallet, the Trezor wallet is much safer than traditional software wallets, as private keys are held on the physical device, rather than on a mobile or desktop computer.

The wallet is never connected to an internet server, meaning that it is virtually impossible for a hacker to access your funds. Trezor is one of the oldest hardware cryptocurrency wallets around. It provides a high security for bitcoin, protecting it against both physical and virtual theft.

Trezor is similar to Ledger in that it's a hardware crypto wallet that is on its second generation product. However, we think Trezor has the edge over Ledger. Not only are you able to access third-party exchanges like CoinSwitch from its web interface, but you can also further encrypt your PIN&nbsp with a Micro SD&nbsp card. This is what tips it over the edge when it comes to secure storage of your cryptocurrencies. You can also connect Trezor's Model T to your phone or desktop through a USB-C cable, which is slightly more secure than the Bluetooth connection offered on other products.
