| [[File:Trezor-tx.jpg|300px|thumb|right|Confirming transaction with Trezor One]]
| |
| | |
| Trezor is a small single-purpose computer. It is designed to protect your private keys from possible online and offline risks. To do this, Trezor keeps the private keys away from the Internet and confirms the transactions in-device. That way, you can always check the screen for the right address, amount and transaction fee before sending your bitcoins.
| |
| | |
| In layman's terms, you can connect Trezor to an infected computer and still be able to have 100% control over the funds in your device.
