Whether you’re a HODLer who survived several vicious bear markets, or a newcomer who just bought his first satoshis, you need a secure place to store your valuable holdings. You’ve done your research and realized that holding your crypto on an exchange or using an obsolete paper wallet might not be the best idea. Cryptocurrencies store value, and you should protect them accordingly. You need a hardware wallet, but which one is the best?

Choosing the right hardware wallet is no easy task

The hardware wallet market is constantly growing; new devices appear regularly. When it comes to picking the best one, there are several factors to consider.

The three most important things you expect from your wallet are security, support of your favorite cryptocurrencies, and usability. Some wallets on the market are both safe and durable, but often pay the price of decreased user friendliness and limited features. On the other hand, there are intuitive and simple to use wallets, but with elements that might pose a security risk.

After a short review of all the options on the market, you can conclude that there are only a few hardware wallets that do not compromise the security of their devices for the sake of a friendlier interface, or vice-versa.

Created by the founders of the hardware wallet industry

At Trezor, we’re on the ultimate quest to find the perfect balance between security and usability, which are often in an inverse relationship. The more security elements you add, the less usability the final product offers, and this goes the other way around. As the leaders of the hardware wallet market, pioneers always introducing new standards, with over five years of experience in manufacturing hardware wallets, we’re confident to say that our flagship, the Trezor Model T, is the best option for everyone regardless of their knowledge or skills, from bitcoiners to crypto newbies. Need proof?

Here are the top ten reasons why the Model T is the best hardware wallet on the market right now:

Highest security standards — The Model T is safeguarded by several layers of protection, starting with the randomly generated recovery seed, the user-created PIN, and the passphrase feature. These three security layers make the Model T an airtight device.
