Using Your Wallet After Setup

Once setup is complete, your Trezor wallet is ready to use. You can add supported cryptocurrencies, generate receiving addresses, and send transactions securely.

When sending funds, the transaction details appear on the Trezor screen and must be physically confirmed. This ensures that even if your computer is compromised, unauthorized transactions cannot occur without your approval.

Maintaining Long-Term Security

Keeping your Trezor wallet secure requires ongoing attention. Always store your recovery seed in a safe, offline location. Consider keeping multiple physical copies in separate secure places to reduce the risk of loss.

Regularly update your device firmware to ensure you have the latest security improvements. Avoid clicking suspicious links or downloading unofficial software that claims to support Trezor devices.

A hardware wallet is one of the most secure storage methods available, but safe usage practices are essential for long-term protection.
