How to buy and trade Ether and ERC-20 tokens using Trezor

How to buy and trade Ether and ERC-20 tokens using Trezor

The Trezor hardware wallets support Ether and all ERC-20 tokens . ERC-20 tokens are tokens built and can be used on top of the Ethereum platform (such as Binance Coin, VeChain, OmiseGo, Golem, etc.).

Receiving and sending Ether or ERC-20 tokens with your Trezor device is at present only possible via third party wallets MyEtherWallet or MyCryptoWallet .

COMMENT: Please note that when using MyEtherWallet or MyCryptoWallet with your Trezor device, your private keys will be stored only on your Trezor device (and not on mentioned platforms). When using your Trezor device with these online platforms, these platforms serve only as interface for executing transactions, but do not actually hold your Ether or ERC-20 tokens. Your Ether and ERC-20 tokens benefit therefore from the same cryptographic protection as do your other cryptocurrency that you store on the Trezor device.

The below step-by-step guides outline how you can use your Trezor device to buy and sell Ether and ERC-20 tokens, together with the following platforms:

MyEtherWallet; and
MyCrypto.

In order to make use of the below step-by-step guide, your first need to have set-up your Trezor wallet, by following the Trezor One set-up guide or the Trezor Model T set-up guide .

  1. Sign in

    Open your web browser and navigate to wallet.trezor.io Connect your Trezor device with your computer and sign in.

  2. Choose the platform

  3. Choose the platform

    My Image


    Choose a platform: (a) MyEtherWallet or (b) MyCrypto, by clicking on the relevant green button.

    If you choose MyEtherWallet, continue to follow the below steps.

    If you choose MyCrypto, scroll further down and start from the section ‘How to use Trezor with MyCrypto’.

    WARNING: When using MyEtherWallet, do not click on ‘Generate a new wallet’. Your Ether wallets are automatically created on your Trezor device when connecting your Trezor device to the MyEtherWallet platform when following the below step-by-step guide. If you were to click on ‘Generate a new wallet’, a new wallet is created online (as opposed to on the Trezor device) which is therefore not protected by your Trezor.

    In case you would want to learn more about the MyEtherWallet, we recommend reading the knowledge base on their website.

    When choosing MyEtherWallet, you will be redirected to the MyEtherWallet website. As a first step you will need to confirm a number of notifications.
