Trezor® Wallet®

Your gateway to secure cryptocurrency storage starts with Trezor Wallet. Discover the unmatched security and convenience of the world's first hardware wallet, trusted by crypto enthusiasts globally.

Trezor Wallet supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies through its interface and firmware, allowing users to securely store and manage different digital assets within a single hardware wallet device. Here's how Trezor Wallet supports various cryptocurrencies and the process for adding new coins or tokens:

  1. Native Integration: Trezor Wallet provides native integration for a selection of popular cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and many others. These cryptocurrencies are supported out-of-the-box, meaning that users can easily send, receive, and manage these assets using the Trezor Wallet interface without any additional steps.

  2. Third-Party Integrations (Trezor Core): In addition to native integration, Trezor Wallet also supports a wide range of other cryptocurrencies through third-party integrations via Trezor Core. Trezor Core is a set of libraries and APIs that developers can use to add support for additional coins or tokens to the Trezor Wallet interface. These integrations allow users to interact with supported cryptocurrencies using the same familiar Trezor Wallet interface.

  3. Firmware Updates: Trezor periodically releases firmware updates for its hardware wallet devices, which may include support for new cryptocurrencies or improvements to existing features. Users can update their Trezor firmware using the Trezor Wallet interface, ensuring that they have access to the latest features and supported assets.

  4. Coin and Token Support Requests: Trezor Wallet users can also request support for specific cryptocurrencies or tokens through the official Trezor GitHub repository or community forums. Trezor developers and community members actively monitor these channels and may consider adding support for requested assets based on user demand and technical feasibility.

The process for adding new coins or tokens to Trezor Wallet typically involves the following steps:

  1. Development and Integration: Developers interested in adding support for a new cryptocurrency or token to Trezor Wallet can start by integrating their coin or token into Trezor Core. This may involve implementing necessary cryptographic algorithms, transaction protocols, and wallet functionality to ensure compatibility with Trezor hardware devices.

  2. Testing and Review: Once the integration is complete, developers will conduct thorough testing to ensure that the cryptocurrency or token functions correctly with Trezor Wallet. This testing may include compatibility testing, security audits, and user experience testing to identify and address any issues or bugs.

  3. Submission for Review: After testing is complete, developers can submit their integration code to the Trezor team for review. The Trezor team will evaluate the integration for quality, security, and compatibility with Trezor hardware devices.

  4. Inclusion in Firmware Updates: If the integration meets the necessary criteria, the Trezor team may include support for the new cryptocurrency or token in a future firmware update for Trezor hardware devices. Once included in a firmware update, users can access and manage the new asset using their Trezor Wallet.

Overall, Trezor Wallet supports various cryptocurrencies through native integration and third-party integrations via Trezor Core. The process for adding new coins or tokens involves development, testing, review, and inclusion in firmware updates, ensuring that users have access to a diverse range of digital assets while maintaining security and usability.
