Review on Trezor Model T by Fanuel PORPORTY
Your bank in your pocket
Securing your cryptocurrencies should be a top priority when you want to keep them. The standard is to use double authentication when using a marketplace such as Binance, KuCoin, etc., but it is largely preferable to store them on addresses for which you have private keys. It is quite possible to simply write down these keys on a sheet of paper and keep them safe. However it is not practical at all during use, since you will have to inform them about the services you will use to transfer your funds. This therefore exposes you to hackers via your computer which can be infected by software which copies the keys you use, also through the services you use, which can be attacked or copied to recover your information. One solution that many users choose is the hardware wallet. Hardware wallets secure your cryptocurrencies, offer you the most practical user interface possible while guaranteeing the real ownership of your cryptos by keeping private keys. There are several manufacturers of this type of product, I present to you the Trezor T wallet, the most upscale of Trezor which notably has a touch screen.
The Trezor T arrives with its LCD screen, all touch. The connection to your computer will be done using a USB-C type connector. The Trezor Model T supports a total of 1064 tokens and cryptocurrencies. This covers all ERC20 tokens and major cryptos such as BTC, LTC, XEM ... Note that only the Trezor T allows the storage of the following currencies: Ripple, Tez and Ada (Cardano). Some of these cryptocurrencies will have to be handled with an external wallet, such as for example the Tez which requires the use of the Simplestaking wallet.
Pros
- The Trezor Model T is a very interesting hardware wallet. It is small, but has a touch screen and requires a computer connection to use it. The interface is rather pleasant to use. The touch allows you to easily confirm transactions, unlock access to the wallet via PIN code.
- The interface of the Trezor T has a simple and efficient look, it is available in multiple languages. You access a panel on which you can consult your balances and histories in the supported currencies, and create different accounts for each currency, in the event that you need a particular organization for the management of your incoming and outgoing payments. Also, tabs are available to receive and send cryptocurrencies, but also to exchange them immediately for other currencies managed by Trezor.
- Trezor regularly provides new updates
- Each transaction must be confirmed manually.
Cons
