# Trezor: The Original Hardware Wallet for Self-Custody

> Trezor hardware wallets give you complete control of your cryptocurrency with offline private key storage, supporting 9,000+ coins and tokens.

Trezor is the world's first and most trusted hardware wallet, designed to keep your cryptocurrency safe through industry-leading offline security. Unlike software wallets or exchange accounts, your private keys never leave the device — giving you true self-custody over your digital assets.

## Why Trezor?

Trezor wallets keep your private keys in a secure, offline environment — completely isolated from your internet-connected computer or phone. Even if your computer is compromised by malware, your crypto stays safe.
