At the core of Trezor.io/start lies the hardware wallet - a physical device safeguarding your cryptocurrencies offline, impervious to cyber threats. Trezor hardware wallets operate on a foundation of cutting-edge security features, assuring users of a fortified shield against potential breaches.

## Shamir backup and its role in protecting your recovery seed <a href="#id-6314" id="id-6314"></a>

In the case of hardware wallets, and recovery seed protection, Shamir backup allows users to split their wallet’s private key into multiple unique recovery shares.

> **Note:** Shamir backup is available on the Trezor Model T and Trezor Safe 3

* When setting up a new wallet with Shamir backup, your Trezor device will prompt you to generate a certain number of recovery shares.
* You can create up to 16 shares, each consisting of a sequence of 20 or 33 words.
* After generation, you must decide on a threshold — the minimum number of shares needed to recover your wallet.

Shamir Backup offers several advantages over the traditional single-seed backup. Some of these include,

* Instead of a single recovery seed, you can have up to 16 shares.
* No single share contains enough information to compromise your hardware wallet.
* Shares can be distributed among trusted parties or secure locations.
* The threshold allows for some shares to be lost without compromising wallet recovery.
