What it is
Trezor makes open-source hardware wallets that keep private keys offline, managed through the Trezor Suite app, with models from entry-level to touchscreen devices.
Who it suits
Holders who want self-custody with transparent, auditable firmware.
How it charges
A one-off device price; Trezor Suite is free, and third-party buy, sell and swap services inside it charge their own fees.
Getting started
Buy from the official store, set up the device, write down the recovery seed and install coin apps via Trezor Suite.

Readers ask2 questions answered
Trezor or Ledger?
Both keep keys offline; Trezor is fully open source, Ledger uses a secure element with closed firmware. Either beats leaving coins on an exchange.
What if the device breaks?
Restore on any compatible wallet with your recovery seed; keep the seed offline and never type it into a computer.
