What is Trezor?
Trezor makes hardware wallets and has sold them since 2013; the company is Trezor Company s.r.o., part of SatoshiLabs Group. Its firmware is public on GitHub (trezor/trezor-firmware). The Trezor Safe 5 lists at $129 and supports thousands of coins and tokens.
How Trezor works
A Trezor stores your keys on the device and signs only after you confirm on its screen.
The Safe 5 has a 1.54-inch color touchscreen with haptic feedback, an EAL6+ certified Secure Element, and a PIN up to 50 digits plus optional passphrase. You manage it with the Trezor Suite app, which handles sending, receiving, buying and selling through compared third-party providers, in-app swaps, and staking for Ethereum, Cardano and Solana. The device also works with 30+ third-party wallet apps and doubles as a FIDO2 security key.
Backups use 12-, 20- or 24-word recovery sheets, and the Safe 5 ships with two 20-word backup cards. You can switch to Advanced Multi-share Backup, which splits recovery across several shares. Trezor Suite adds privacy tools: coin control, routing traffic over Tor, a custom backend that connects to your own full node, and a firmware authenticity check. The lineup also includes the Safe 3 and the Safe 7, which adds Bluetooth, a 2.5-inch screen and a second secure chip.
How to start with Trezor
- Buy from the official Trezor shop or a listed reseller so the device arrives sealed.
- Download Trezor Suite for desktop, or use the web app, plug in the device over USB-C and follow setup, which Trezor says takes about 15 minutes.
- Write down the backup words, set a PIN, then copy a receive address from Suite to withdraw from your exchange. iPhone users should check the model: on iOS the Safe 5 and Safe 3 can only check balances, buy and receive; setup and sending need Android or a computer.
Trezor fees and limits
- The Trezor Safe 5 lists at $129, with no subscription for Trezor Suite.
When you buy, sell or swap in Suite, the trade goes through a third-party provider chosen from the quotes Suite compares, so that provider's fee or spread applies along with network fees. Staking is available in Suite for Ethereum, Cardano and Solana, and network fees apply to every transaction you sign.
Risks to know before using Trezor
- Trezor is self-custody: anyone who gets your backup words controls your coins, and losing both the device and the backup means losing the funds.
- Trezor says buying only from its shop or listed resellers is how you make sure a device is genuine and unaltered.
- New units ship with packaging and device security seals, and Suite can check firmware authenticity before you load funds.
- The Safe 5 also has limited iOS support, so an iPhone-only user cannot set it up or send from it.
