The Trezor hardware wallet is built around one core principle: users should always control their private keys. Unlike custodial wallets or exchanges, there is no central authority holding access to funds. Ownership remains entirely in the hands of the user.
This approach eliminates counterparty risk and protects assets from exchange failures, account freezes, or centralized data breaches. With Trezor, only the device owner can authorize transactions.
A private key is the cryptographic proof of ownership for cryptocurrency funds. If someone else controls the private key, they effectively control the assets. The Trezor hardware wallet ensures that keys are generated and stored securely on the device itself.
Keys never leave the hardware wallet and are never exposed to the internet. Even when signing transactions, the approval process happens internally, with confirmation displayed on the device screen.
The Trezor hardware wallet empowers users with true ownership of their digital assets. By removing third-party control and securing private keys offline, it delivers a robust and trustworthy storage solution.
