Trezor Wiki/User/User manual/ Claiming cryptocurrency after coin split

Note Please see our latest blog regarding the latest BCH hard fork and this guide how to split and send your Bitcoin Cash ABC/SV forks

Trezor developed claiming tools for users who wish to claim Bitcoin Cash or Bitcoin Gold.

The tools can be used by users who owned Bitcoin on addresses when these hard forks happened (1 August 2017, block #478559 for Bitcoin Cash and 24 October 2017, block #491407 for Bitcoin Gold).

Note Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, and Bitcoin Gold are entirely independent and separate cryptocurrencies. A transaction sent on one chain will not affect the other ones. This applies to the claiming tool as well. By using the tools to claim Bitcoin Cash or Bitcoin Gold, your bitcoins are not affected.
