What is Trezor Suite?
Trezor Suite is a desktop and web companion app designed to give you clear control over your hardware wallet and cryptocurrency. It’s where you connect your physical Trezor device to send, receive, and track assets — while keeping your private keys offline and safe.
Why use Trezor Suite?
There are three big reasons people choose Trezor Suite: security, clarity, and reliability. The Suite acts as a secure bridge between your offline keys and the online world. It shows balances, gives clear transaction previews, offers exchange and staking tools (where available), and stores your device settings — all without exposing your secret keys.
Core features at a glance
-
SCold-key Security — Your private keys never leave the Trezor device. Every signature is made on-device, making malware and remote attackers far less of a risk.
-
PPortfolio View — See your holdings across multiple accounts, view historical performance, and export transaction history for taxes or accounting.
-
XIntegrated Swap & Exchange — Built-in swaps let you trade directly from your wallet without moving funds to an exchange (third-party providers may be used).
-
BBackup & Recovery — Step-by-step recovery flow using mnemonic seed words and additional passphrase protection for strong defense-in-depth.
Getting started — quick setup
Setting up Trezor Suite is intentionally simple, but secure. Here’s a concise step-by-step to get you started:
- Install Trezor Suite — Download the official app from the Trezor website. Always confirm the site URL and checksum if available.
- Connect your device — Use the USB cable that came with your Trezor. Enter the device PIN when prompted. The PIN is never transmitted — it’s entered on the device itself.
- Create or import a wallet — Create a new wallet and write down the recovery seed (the 12–24 word phrase). Store it offline, in multiple safe locations if possible.
- Explore the suite — Add accounts, check balances, and familiarize yourself with transaction previews and the confirmation workflow.
Best practices for strong security
Security is layered — the Suite is only one part. Treat your physical device and recovery seed like the crown jewels.
- Never share your seed words — No one from support or any service should ever ask for them.
- Use a secure PIN — Long and non-obvious. The Trezor device will protect against brute force attempts, but a strong PIN reduces the risk of social engineering.
- Enable passphrase protection — This adds an extra hidden wallet protected by a passphrase known only to you.
- Keep firmware up to date — Firmware updates often include security hardening and bug fixes. Only update from official sources.
- Store backups safely — Consider steel backup plates for long-term recovery protection from fire and water damage.
Managing assets — sending, receiving, and more
Trezor Suite supports many major coins and tokens. Manage accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other networks. Transactions require physical confirmation on the device, which prevents unauthorized transfers even if your computer is compromised.
Sending funds
When you create a transaction, Trezor Suite builds and displays a clear breakdown: recipient address, amount, fee, and network. You confirm on-device — verify the address displayed on the Trezor screen before approving.
Receiving funds
Always generate receiving addresses within the Suite while your device is connected. You can verify the address on the Trezor device screen for peace of mind before sharing it.
Advanced tools for power users
Power users will appreciate advanced features: multiple account management, coin control for Bitcoin UTXOs, transaction export, and integration with third-party DeFi tools. The Suite keeps advanced controls accessible while preserving a secure default experience for everyday users.
Integration & ecosystem
Trezor Suite plays nicely with many third-party wallets and services through supported integrations. Use Suite for core key management and selectively connect to external dApps when needed — always verify interactions on-device.
Accessibility & usability
The Suite aims to be approachable: readable typography, clear calls-to-action, and guided flows for onboarding and recovery. Whether you're new to crypto or a long-time hodler, the UI guides you through each critical security step.
