Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What happens if I lose my Trezor Co-Wallet?

The Trezor Co-Wallet does not store your crypto; it simply acts as a key to your wallet. If you lose your Trezor Co-Wallet, you can still recover your crypto as long as you have the seed backup. The seed backup allows you to restore your funds in case of loss or damage to your Trezor Co-Wallet. Make sure to store your seed backup securely and never share it with anyone.

2. Can the value of my crypto change when it’s in the Trezor Co-Wallet?

Yes, the value of your crypto can still change even when it’s stored in the Trezor Co-Wallet.
