Hardware wallet provider Trezor has just unveiled a trio of new products aimed at assisting enthusiasts self custody their cryptocurrencies.<\/p>\n
The new product lineup features the Trezor Safe 3 hardware wallet, the Trezor Keep Metal recovery seed backup, and a limited-edition Trezor Safe 3 Bitcoin<\/a><\/span>-only wallet.<\/p>\n “Despite the obvious wisdom of ‘not your keys, not your crypto,’ just 2% of the 420 million global cryptocurrency users practice self-custody, while most use centralized exchanges and hot wallets,” Trezor CEO Mat\u011bj \u017d\u00e1k told Decrypt<\/i>. “Clearly, there is a need to educate users on how to safely store their digital assets and provide them with user-friendly products that have a straightforward onboarding process.”<\/p>\n The Trezor Safe 3 hardware wallet is designed to cater to a wide range of individuals entering the cryptocurrency space.<\/p>\n Supporting Bitcoin<\/a> (BTC), Ethereum<\/a> (ETH), as well as over 7,000 other cryptocurrencies, the sleek-looking device integrates with the Trezor Suite desktop app to assist users with a variety of operations.<\/p>\n One of the standout features of the Trezor Safe 3 is the inclusion of a secure element, a tamper-resistant hardware component that offers added protection against physical attacks. In the unfortunate event of a lost or stolen device, users can still safeguard their assets with a strong passphrase stored outside the wallet.<\/p>\n The launch of Trezor Safe is primarily targeted at new entrants to crypto who we anticipate will triple the adoption of crypto during the next bull run,” said \u017d\u00e1k.<\/p>\n The Czech-based hardware manufacturer also revealed that it is collaborating with a third-party secure element vendor for Trezor Safe 3, meaning it can publish any potential vulnerabilities about the wallet it discovers.<\/p>\n The Trezor Keep Metal is designed to protect one of the most critical elements in a crypto portfolio: the recovery seed.<\/p>\n This unique string of words is generated during the initial setup of a Trezor device, as well as most other crypto wallets, and serves as the lifeline to restore access to a wallet in case of a lost or stolen hardware wallet.<\/p>\n It’s thus key to keep that seed phrase safe. Ironically, paper and a pencil are surprisingly durable and can last a long time, but they are vulnerable to risks like fire, water, and other environmental factors.<\/p>\n Metal surpasses paper in terms of longevity, and metal backups come in various shapes and sizes, usually constructed from materials like stainless steel or titanium. These metals are capable of withstanding challenges such as house fires, impact from projectiles, corrosion, and more, providing a higher level of protection for your recovery seed.<\/p>\n Made from aerospace-grade stainless steel, the Trezor Keep Metal it is resistant to corrosion and features a watertight seal, ensuring protection against fire, water, acids, and impacts.<\/p>\n \u201cEvents over the last year or so have demonstrated the risks people are taking when they entrust the custody of their cryptocurrencies to centralized exchanges,\u201d said the Trezor CEO. \u201cTime and again, we\u2019ve seen the reality of \u2018not your keys, not your coins\u2019 play out.\u201d<\/p>\n With predictions indicating<\/a> that the number of crypto users worldwide could reach nearly a billion people by 2027, \u017d\u00e1k also believes that Bitcoin, and the wider cryptocurrency sector, \u201cis no longer a niche interest,\u201d meaning security aspects become of paramount importance.<\/p>\nTrezor Safe 3<\/h2>\n
