Trezor® is the original cryptocurrency hardware wallet, launched in 2014 by SatoshiLabs. As a cold storage solution, it keeps your private keys completely offline, protecting them from online threats like hackers, malware, and phishing attacks. Unlike software wallets or exchange accounts, Trezor® devices ensure that your sensitive information never touches an internet-connected device.
The Trezor® ecosystem includes both the compact Trezor® Model One and the advanced Trezor® Model T with touchscreen interface. Both devices support thousands of cryptocurrencies and integrate seamlessly with the Trezor® Suite desktop application for comprehensive portfolio management.
Key Security Principle: Trezor® devices generate and store private keys in an isolated environment, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your cryptocurrencies remain secure.
When you receive your Trezor® device, verify the packaging integrity. Authentic Trezor® wallets come with holographic seals to prevent tampering. Connect your device to your computer using the provided USB cable.

Trezor® Bridge is a communication tool that allows your Trezor® device to interact with web browsers. Download it from the official website or through the setup wizard. Unlike browser extensions, Bridge runs as a background service for enhanced security.
