How to Add Trezor Wallet in Metamask Chrome Extension

White, 23 Aug 2021

Metamask is a software wallet (hot wallet). Private Key, Public Key, Coins, NFTs and all of the assets are kept inside the software which is connected to the internet world. Unfortunately, it can be hacked. This is one of the Metamask weakness.

However, Metamask allows us to link our hardware wallets, Trezor and Ledger. This creates another layer of security as Signing process will be done with external device (wallet).

Before going further, let's take a look at the requirements.

Requirements
