Overview
Trezor Suite is the official application for interacting with Trezor hardware wallets. Available as a desktop client and a secure web interface, Trezor Suite places security and privacy first while offering features users expect: account management, transaction signing, coin control, token support, NFT viewing, and integrations with trusted third-party services. This guide covers downloading and installing the Suite, initializing your device, account management, advanced features, and safety best practices to protect your crypto assets.
Why choose Trezor Suite?
Trezor hardware wallets keep private keys offline, and Trezor Suite provides an audited, user-friendly channel to interact with those keys. Transactions are always signed on-device, and the suite minimizes exposure to network threats by showing clear, concise transaction details for on-device confirmation. Additionally, Trezor focuses on open-source development and transparency, allowing the community to audit code and verify behavior.
Supported devices & platforms
Trezor Suite supports Trezor Model T and Trezor One devices. The Suite runs on Windows, macOS, and Linux as a desktop application, and also offers a secure web version hosted on Trezor’s official domain. Choose the version that best fits your workflow — desktop for offline convenience, or web for quick access on another machine.
Getting started — prerequisites
- A Trezor hardware device (Model T recommended for touch input and extra features).
- A desktop computer for the desktop client (Windows, macOS, Linux) or a modern browser for the web version.
- A USB cable to connect your Trezor device.
- Secure materials for recording your recovery seed (metal backups recommended for durability).
Important: Only download Trezor Suite from the official Trezor website and verify the URL. Never enter your recovery seed into any website or share it.
Step 1 — Download & install
Visit Trezor’s official website and navigate to the Trezor Suite download page. Choose the installer for your operating system or open the web suite. Verify checksums or signatures if provided. Install and launch the application, and follow the initial setup prompts.
Step 2 — Initialize or recover your device
- Create new wallet: Initialize your Trezor device by following on-device prompts to set a PIN and generate a recovery seed. Record the seed exactly and store it offline.
- Recover wallet: If you have an existing recovery seed, choose the recover option and safely enter your seed on the device using the secure input method.
Never take photos of your recovery seed or enter it on an internet-connected device beyond the Trezor itself. Metal backups reduce risk from fire, water, and physical decay.
Step 3 — Add accounts
In Trezor Suite, select "Add account" and choose the currency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.). Trezor Suite derives public addresses from your device and displays balances. Label accounts for clarity and manage multiple accounts across supported blockchains. For tokens and less common coins, follow the Suite’s guidance on adding custom tokens.
Receiving funds
To receive crypto, click "Receive" on the account page. Trezor Suite will provide a receiving address and prompt you to verify it on-device. Always compare the address shown in the app with the device display to prevent clipboard or screen-tampering attacks.
Sending funds & transaction verification
To send funds, construct the transaction in Trezor Suite by entering the recipient address and amount. Use advanced fee controls if you need custom fee settings. When you proceed, the unsigned transaction is transferred to your Trezor device for signing. The device will display key transaction details for your manual confirmation — destination address, amount, and fee — before signing. This on-device confirmation is critical for security.
Advanced features
Coin control
On UTXO networks like Bitcoin, coin control lets you select specific UTXOs to spend, improving privacy and fee management.
Passphrase (hidden wallets)
Use an optional passphrase to create hidden wallets — an additional layer of privacy and segregation. Note: losing the passphrase means permanent loss of access to funds in the hidden wallet.
Multisig & integrations
Trezor supports multisignature workflows and integrates with compatible third-party tools for advanced custody setups and collaboration between multiple co-signers.
NFTs, tokens & dApps
Trezor Suite presents token balances and supports basic NFT viewing on compatible networks. For complex NFT marketplaces or DeFi dApps, Trezor integrates with trusted third-party interfaces using secure connection standards; signatures are always performed on-device.
Security best practices
- Keep your recovery seed offline and duplicated in separate secure locations; consider metal backups for durability.
- Always verify transaction details on the Trezor device screen and never approve transactions you did not initiate.
- Only download Trezor Suite from the official site and verify checksums when available.
- Use a strong device PIN and consider enabling passphrase protection for sensitive holdings.
- Be cautious with browser extensions and unverified third-party websites when connecting your device to dApps.
Troubleshooting & support
If Trezor Suite fails to detect your device, try another USB cable or port and make sure the device is unlocked. For web users, ensure your browser supports the required connection APIs and that no extensions block USB access. Missing tokens often require manual addition or enabling experimental coin support; consult the official docs for step-by-step fixes. For persistent problems, use Trezor’s official support channels and community resources.
Privacy & telemetry
Trezor Suite is built with privacy in mind: minimal telemetry, transparent settings, and clear controls over what data is shared. Public addresses are necessary to display balances, but private keys remain offline on the device at all times.
Final notes
Trezor Suite is a powerful, security-focused companion for managing cryptocurrencies with Trezor hardware wallets. By following the steps above and adopting conservative security habits, both newcomers and experienced users can manage digital assets with confidence. Always verify downloads and official communications to avoid phishing and impersonation scams.
