Wasabi Wallet Hardware Wallet Integration
Hardware wallets are the gold standard for protecting your cryptocurrency, but they do not ensure the privacy of your money. Every time you connect your hardware wallet to native companion applications like Ledger Live or Trezor Suite, you expose your public keys, transaction history, and IP address to their central servers.
Connecting your hardware crypto wallet directly to Wasabi Wallet solves this problem. Wasabi acts as a privacy-focused interface for your cold storage, allowing you to manage your funds, route traffic through Tor, and even participate in CoinJoin – all while your private keys remain safely locked inside your physical wallet.
Why Combine Cold Storage with Wasabi?
Default Tor Routing
(Zero Leaks)
Wasabi routes all your hardware wallet transactions through the Tor network by default. This masks your physical location and ensures no third-party node can link your IP address to your balance.
CoinJoin Directly
from Cold Storage
Anonymize your Bitcoin and hide your transaction history. Your hardware wallet confirms the transactions for mixing, so your private keys remain secure and never touch the internet.
Complete Air-Gapped
Security
Wasabi uses the open Hardware Wallet Interface (HWI) only to read public keys. When sending funds, Wasabi transfers the data back to your physical wallet for manual confirmation.
