Trezor Wallet

Trezor is an offline-only, highly-secure cold storage device. However, it also provides great flexibility and connectivity should the user need to exchange currency. Trezor is a highly-respected manufacturer of hardware wallets in the crypto community, and the Trezor wallet is remarkably small, roughly the size of a small mp3 player, and constructed from plastic. Trezor's wallet connects via USB, does not require charging, and is compatible with Windows, MacOS, and virtually any Linux distro, as well as Android devices. Several browser extensions for Chrome and Firefox are available also.

Inside the box, the wallet is accompanied by a hanging strap, USB cable, user manual card, and two nifty recovery seed cards for storing your seed information.

The Trezor Wallet has support through the community through Trezor's code on Github, which increases transparency and ultimately security.

The case against using a secure element

The Trezor wallet does not utilise a "secure element" within it's circuitry, which has been met with skepticism by some. Trezor's response to not using a secure element is broken up into 5 points.

1. Closed source is a security risk

2. The real risk for Bitcoin is ONLINE

3. Physical security is important....(but can be cracked with a $5 wrench)

4. “Secure” Does Not Always Equal Well Protected

5. Bandwagon risk
