Suite Sync is now live in Trezor Suite on desktop and mobile. Your wallet labels are encrypted on your device using keys derived from your wallet backup, synced across every device you use, and stored on Trezor's own server, not Google's or Dropbox's. If you're already using legacy labeling, migration is a single action. If you're new to labels and try to assign a label for the first time, Suite Sync is already on by default. Users who want to remove any dependency on Trezor can run their own server.

Only one lesson.

What is a hardware wallet?

A hardware wallet is a dedicated device that stores the private keys to your cryptocurrency wallet offline.

Think of your private key as the master key to your crypto. Anyone who has access to it can access and spend your funds.

A hardware wallet keeps that key isolated from internet-connected devices, helping protect it from hackers, malware, phishing attacks, and other online threats. Unlike software wallets, your private key never leaves the device.

Why do people use hardware wallets?

Many beginners start by keeping crypto on an exchange because it's convenient.

However, when your funds are stored on an exchange, the exchange controls the keys, not you.

A hardware wallet gives you full ownership and control of your assets. You can still buy, sell, and manage crypto, but only you control the keys required to access your funds.

How does a hardware wallet work?

When you send cryptocurrency:

1. You create the transaction on your computer or phone.
2. The transaction is sent to your hardware wallet.
3. The hardware wallet verifies and signs the transaction internally.
4. The signed transaction is returned and broadcast to the blockchain.

Your private key never leaves the device during this process.

Hot wallets vs. cold wallets

Hot wallets

• Connected to the internet
• Mobile apps, browser extensions, or desktop wallets
• Convenient for everyday use
• More exposed to online attacks

Cold wallets

• Store private keys offline
• Include hardware wallets
• Better suited for long-term storage
• Significantly reduce exposure to online threats

Many experienced users keep a small amount of crypto in a hot wallet for daily use and store larger holdings in a hardware wallet.

The most important thing: your wallet backup

When you create a wallet, you'll generate a wallet backup.

This backup allows you to recover access to your funds if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

Your hardware wallet protects your private keys, but your wallet backup protects you from losing access altogether.

Keep it offline, keep it private, and never enter it into a website, computer, or phone.
