Driving cross-compatibility throughout the ecosystem Usability of cryptocurrencies in general has been spurred on by hardware wallets. Complex but really useful functions like replace-by-fee (RBF) for fixing stuck transactions are now a trivial matter and thanks to integration in many third-party apps like metamask, one can even use a Trezor to secure keys used in more experimental projects such as DeFi staking or NFT apps. At the forefront of it all is security, and to be cross-compatible across the ecosystem, hardware wallets must be transparent about how security is achieved. Anyone can build a Trezor from off-the-shelf parts and enjoy the same security benefits as a customer, because the security methods used are completely self-evident. Rather than trusting claims of security, it is better to verify that the wallet is secure, which can not be done for any device which uses a closed-source security chip. There’s no better way to achieve security than a multi-billion dollar bounty for exploits, and no one has ever successfully stolen keys by cracking open source hardware wallets, because the mathematics makes any such attempt futile. This track record and widespread integrations is what has made Trezor so successful among the core cryptocurrency community. Businesses built for Bitcoin by Bitcoiners are deeply entwined with the open source, decentralized philosophy of Bitcoin. There is no place for trust with a custodial asset - either you can verify it is secure or you cannot. Software and hardware made by companies like Trezor is completely transparent to the world, refined to be as easy to use as possible, and compatible across the board, making it the perfect companion for cryptocurrencies from day one.

Unfortunately, most can only afford to use hot wallets or exchanges in storing their crypto's. #NoiseCash
