After the November announcement TREZOR finally started shipping the Model T for those who pre-ordered. Initially they were planned to be shipped in January according to the blog post, but delays like these are common among cryptocurrency related hardware manufacturers.

TREZOR is one of the few popular hardware manufacturers and the Model T is a well awaited upgrade for their earlier model. The manufacturer announced the shipping of the first units a few days ago where they also stated that the standard orders will be available soon in their webshop.

The new model features an updated touchscreen, which is also used for a security feature: the device only draws power while locked and only communicates with your PC after authenticating.

The new hardware wallet also runs on a new firmware that has been written from scratch and is labeled TREZOR Core. It is open source and easy to build on in case developers want to play around with their coin additions. The model also comes with an SD card slot for data encryption and an USB-C, which is suited for the current trends.

Currently the Trezor holds eight types of currencies and tokens:

Bitcoin

Ethereum

ERC-20 tokens

Litecoin

Dash

Ethereum Classic

Zcash

NEM
