With Faast, you can trade your Bitcoin holdings on your TREZOR device directly for tokens — and vice-versa. Let’s compare this to using a centralized exchange: if you were using Binance, for example, you’d have to send your BTC holdings on your TREZOR wallet to your BTC wallet on Binance, then trade it for the token you wanted (which may not even be listed). It’s so much easier to just remove that extra step by using Faast to swap your BTC for the tokens you want, and get them safely delivered straight to your TREZOR wallet.
