Trezor could be adding Tezos (XTZ) support soon!

A developer working for the hardware cryptocurrency wallet confirmed it.

Apparently, Trezor has been “baking” some exciting news for the Tezos community, as it has been noted by a Reddit user that the XTZ has been added into the master branch of Trezor’s core. “So I noticed that Tezos support has been merged into the master branch of trezor-core. Does this mean that Tezos support will launch soon? I've been holding off on baking until there is hardware wallet support. I'm excited!”

Pavol Rusnak, CTO at SatoshiLabs who is currently working on the development and improvement of Trezor’s source code confirmed the suspicions of the aforementioned redditor. “Yes, in few weeks” he said via his Reddit user stickac.

The integration of the digital asset into the core programming code of this hardware cryptocurrency wallet is looking to be on the right way. Further investigation on this matter reveals that they have been working on adding support to the XTZ since at least May, this year.

Trezor is one of the most popular hardware cryptocurrency wallet manufacturers – it was the first wallet to ever store Bitcoins in a dedicated physical device. Since then, it has added support to more than 689 different coins and tokens through its two models, the Trezor One, and the new Trezor Model T.

Tezos Climbing The Mountain

As more and more exchanges and other blockchain-related projects begin to support the so-called “world’s first self-amending cryptocurrency”, the boost it gains translates into an increase in its market capitalization. At press time, it is quoting at $1.68 per coin, and it is the 17th largest cryptocurrency per market cap, with $ 1.01 billion backing it up.

It remains to see whether or not the aforementioned crypto wallet will allow users to bake directly from the device, which would be a plus the Tezos community will surely appreciate.
