Trezor.io/start
Start using Trezor for secure crypto management. Follow our detailed setup instructions at Trezor.io/start. Get your Trezor wallet up and running with our simple and thorough guide.
Certainly! Adding specific coins to your Trezor Model T involves a few steps. Let’s explore how you can do this:
Supported Coins:
First, check if the coin you want to add is supported by Trezor. You can find the official list of supported coins on the Trezor website. Trezor Model T supports more coins than the older Trezor One.
Keep in mind that even if a coin is supported by your Trezor device, it might not always be supported by the Trezor Suite software. In such cases, you may need to use third-party solutions like MetaMask to manage those coins.
ERC-20 Tokens:
If you’re dealing with ERC-20 tokens (which are based on the Ethereum blockchain), Trezor Suite supports them. These tokens include popular ones like SHIBA.
To add an ERC-20 token:
Open Trezor Suite.
Navigate to the “Tokens” section.
Click “Add Token” and search for the specific token (e.g., SHIBA).
Follow the instructions to add it to your wallet.
Non-ERC-20 Coins:
For coins that are not ERC-20 tokens (like VeChain/VET), the situation is different:
If a coin isn’t supported by Trezor, you’ll need to explore other self-custody options outside of Trezor.
Consider hardware wallets specifically designed for those coins or explore cold storage solutions.
Always prioritize security when choosing an alternative wallet.
Identifying ERC-20 Tokens:
To determine if a coin/token is ERC-20:
Search online or use blockchain explorers like Etherscan.
Unfortunately, there isn’t a centralized database for all tokens, so researching each one individually is necessary.
Some tokens, like HOT (Holochain) and VET (VeChain), are not ERC-20 tokens, while others like SHIBA are.
Remember to verify the network compatibility and security features for any coin you add to your Trezor Model T. Happy crypto management!
