![]() ![]() But, if you want Bluetooth, opt for the Ledger Nano X, while people wanting a touchscreen will prefer the Trezor Model T or Ledger Stax. Trezor's Model T is more affordable at $219, compared to the $279 price tag of the Ledger Stax.Ĭrypto investors looking for an inexpensive hardware wallet for cold storage will be pleased with the low-cost Trezor One or Ledger Nano S. However, the Ledger Stax offers a much larger screen, but it's only greyscale and not color, whereas the Trezor Model T has a color screen, but it's smaller than the Ledger touchscreen. The premium devices offered by Trezor and Ledger both offer a touchscreen. The main thing that it adds over the Nano S Plus is Bluetooth connectivity. A step up from these devices would be the Ledger Nano X which costs $149. Investors holding onto Ripple (XRP), Monero (XMR), or Cardano (ADA) will prefer the Ledger Nano S. The main difference is that the Trezor One supports fewer coins than the Nano S device. These two devices have two physical buttons and small OLED displays. The Trezor One and Ledger Nano S Plus cost about the same, $69 for Trezor and $79 for Nano S Plus. Trezor offers two devices and Ledger offers three. Likewise, Kraken’s security division could hack Trezor hardware wallets when they obtained the physical devices as part of vulnerability testing. It’s important to note that Ledger lost some public confidence after a breach of a marketing database in 2020 that exposed people’s contact information. But, only the Trezor Model T offers Shamir Backup for improved private key security. The devices also differ because the Trezor One wallet requires users to enter the password via a keyboard, whereas Ledger users enter it on the hardware.Īll five devices support BIP39 (Bitcoin Improvement Proposals) passphrases. However, unlike Trezor, Ledger wallets use closed-source firmware, meaning it’s not available for third parties to review or test for vulnerabilities. Ledger uses a unique blockchain open ledger operating system (BOLOS) that is an open-source framework. Ledger’s second chip is a bank-grade secure element (SE), providing additional security against hardware-based attacks. ![]() The Trezor models are built on a single chip base, whereas Ledger devices use a double chip base. Trezor and Ledger are industry leaders in security, as both companies provide private keys that never leave the devices. ![]() Trezor and Ledger users can access built-in cryptocurrency exchanges to buy, sell, or trade coins while using their hardware wallets. All of these coins can be stored on both Ledger devices. Notably, there are a few coins the Trezor One doesn’t support, including Cardano (ADA), Ripple (XRP), Monero (XMR), Eos (EOS), Tezos (XTZ), and Binance Chain (BNB). ![]() While the Ledger Nano S and Nano X, as well as the new Ledger Stax, support the same coins, the Trezor One supports fewer cryptocurrencies than the Model T. Users can hold popular cryptocurrencies, such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Dogecoin (DOGE), and Stellar (XLM). Ledger supports a good deal more crypto currencies than Trezor, over 5,500 compared to 1,289 or 1,456 depending on the Trezor model. When it comes to connectivity, mobile users appreciate the optional Bluetooth capability of the Ledger Nano X and Stax models - a feature not offered by Trezor. In contrast, the Ledger Stax has a larger touchscreen of 400圆72 pixels, but it's greyscale and not color. The difference is in the companies’ premium models, with the Trezor Model T offering a liquid crystal display (LCD) color touchscreen that’s 240x240 pixels. The Ledger Nano S Plus and Nano X both also have a 128圆4-pixel dispaly. The Trezor Model One has a 128圆4-pixel display. However, Trezor users can only connect to Android devices in the mobile browser, whereas Ledger has a mobile app for both iOS and Android. All five devices connect to Linux, Windows, and Mac computers. Meanwhile, Trezor devices are a bit lighter, housed in a plastic casing, and uniquely shaped. While both brands connect via a USB cable, the sleek Ledger devices look like ordinary, steel universal serial bus (USB) storage devices (except for the Ledger Stax which almost looks like a mini smartphone with its touchscreen covering the entire front). Trezor and Ledger are among the best Bitcoin wallets and offer similar features. One: 60 mm x 30 mm x 6 mm, 12 g Model T: 64 mm x 39 mm x 10 mm, 22 g ![]()
