What is a Trezor Wallet and why use it?
A Trezor Wallet is a hardware device designed to keep cryptocurrency private keys offline — often called “cold storage.” By signing transactions on-device and requiring physical confirmation, Trezor dramatically reduces the risk posed by malware, phishing, and compromised hosts. Trezor supports many coins and integrates with the Trezor Suite desktop/web application for management, firmware updates, and device recovery guidance. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
Getting started safely
Unbox your Trezor only from reputable sources, follow the official start guide to initialize, create a PIN, and write down your recovery seed. The "get started" flow walks you through firmware verification and secure setup so private keys never leave the device. Keep seeds offline, preferably on durable media. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
- Buy only from the official store or authorized resellers.
- Verify firmware and device authenticity during setup.
- Store recovery seed physically and redundantly.
How Trezor and Uphold® relate
Trezor is focused on self-custody (you control the keys). Uphold® is a multi-asset trading and custodial platform that lets users buy, sell and hold cryptocurrencies, fiat and commodities. Many users use custodial services like Uphold® for convenience (fast trading, fiat rails) and keep long-term holdings in hardware wallets like Trezor. If you move assets between the two, always verify addresses and network choices carefully. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
