What Is Trèzōr® Hardware Wallet?

The Trèzōr® hardware wallet is a secure, offline device designed to store and manage cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other digital assets. Developed by SatoshiLabs, Trèzōr® was the first hardware wallet ever created and has since become one of the most trusted solutions for cold storage security.

Unlike software wallets that are connected to the internet, a hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline, greatly reducing the risk of hacking, phishing, or malware attacks. With Trèzōr®, users maintain full control over their digital assets without relying on third parties or centralized platforms.

How Trèzōr® Works

Trèzōr® acts as a digital vault. It generates and stores your private keys within a secure chip inside the device. These keys never leave the hardware wallet, not even when performing transactions. Here's how it works:

1. Key Generation: The wallet creates a unique cryptographic seed (typically 12 to 24 words) that represents your private keys.
2. Offline Signing: When you initiate a transaction, the wallet signs it internally before it is sent to the blockchain.
3. Device Confirmation: Every transaction must be physically confirmed on the Trèzōr® device using a screen and buttons or touchscreen, depending on the model.

This design ensures that even if your computer is infected with malware, your funds remain protected, as no sensitive data ever leaves the hardware wallet.
