How To Use Third Party Wallets With The Trezor Model T
The Trezor Model T is one of the best hardware wallets for supporting the most different cryptocurrencies. The Trezor company is continuously adding support for more cryptoassets to the Model T. Most of the major cryptocurrencies can be accessed through Trezor’s native web interface. Some other cryptocurrencies supported by the Trezor Model T will need to be accessed through third party wallets. All ERC20 tokens can be accessed through the Trezor native Ethereum interface or through MyEtherWallet. This guide will show you how to use the following third party wallets with your Trezor Model T.
Stellar - Stellar Account Viewer
Cardano – AdaLite
NEM – Nano Wallet
Monacoin – Electrum-MONA
Tezos – SimpleStaking
Note: When you use a third party wallet with your Trezor Model T, the private keys that secure your assets are still stored exclusively offline on the Model T. The third party wallets are only interfaces that allow you to make transactions and view your balances.
Before you begin, make sure you have setup your Model T with a PIN code, recovery seed and the latest firmware. If you have not already done so, you can follow this guide.
- First, check if the cryptocurrency you want to use is accessible with the Trezor native interface or with a third party wallet.
- If there is not a checkmark in the Trezor Wallet column for Model T compatibility with that particular coin, then you will need to use a third party interface. You will find links to download or use the third party wallet that you need in the far right column.
Steller - Stellar Account Viewer
- Go to Stellar Account Viewer.
- Plug in your Trezor Model T and click on “sign in with Trezor.” When the screen prompts you to connect your Trezor to continue, enter in the PIN code on your Model T.
- Click on “Allow” and then “Export.”
- You should now be signed into the Stellar wallet. You can view your balance and make transactions.
- If you are opening a new account, you will receive a message:“This account is currently inactive. To activate it, send at least 1 “lumen” (XLM) to the Stellar public key displayed above.”
- To receive lumens into your Trezor Model T, just copy and paste the public key into the exchange or wallet where your lumens are currently being stored.
- To send lumens from your Trezor Model T to another wallet, copy and paste the public key of the recipient, specify the amount and click “Send lumens.”
