Overview
Trezor Suite is the official companion app for Trezor hardware wallets, designed to provide an intuitive and secure interface for managing cryptocurrencies, NFTs, and tokens. Built with security-first principles and a user-focused experience, Trezor Suite works offline with your hardware device to sign transactions while keeping private keys safe on the device.
This page is a comprehensive guide and marketing-ready overview of Trezor Suite — its core features, security model, supported currencies, setup instructions, and tips to get the most out of the app.
Key Features
Secure Hardware Signing
All sensitive operations, including signing transactions and managing seeds, are performed on your Trezor device. The Suite acts as a bridge with a modern UI while your private keys never leave the hardware.
Portfolio Overview
Track balances, transaction history, and performance across supported coins and tokens — all in one place with clear charts and exportable statements.
Multi-Currency Support
Trezor Suite supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, ERC-20 tokens, and hundreds of other currencies and assets. The app receives regular updates to expand supported networks.
Exchange Integrations
Built-in integrations enable swapping between assets via reputable third-party partners. Swap providers are audited and chosen for liquidity and security.
Native Staking & Apps
Stake supported tokens or interact with decentralized applications (dApps) through approved integrations while keeping signing on-device.
Settings & Advanced Tools
Advanced users can create passphrase-protected hidden wallets, manage multiple accounts, and export account information for tax or accounting purposes.
Security Model
Trezor Suite is engineered around the concept that the hardware device is the only place where private keys are ever stored. The Suite's job is to present an audited UI, prepare transactions, and send them to the device to be signed. This separation minimizes attack surface and maximizes user control.
Seed & Recovery
When initializing a Trezor device, you generate a recovery seed (typically 12, 18, or 24 words). This seed is created on the device and must be kept secret and offline. Trezor recommends writing the recovery words on the supplied recovery card or another secure medium and storing it in a safe place. Never store your seed digitally or share it.
Passphrase Support
An optional passphrase provides an additional layer of protection by creating hidden wallets. This passphrase is never transmitted or stored by Trezor Suite—it's remembered only by the user or the device if configured.
Open Source & Audited
Trezor Suite and device firmware are open-source, enabling independent security reviews and community audits. The transparent development process is a cornerstone of the project's trust model.
Supported Currencies & Assets
Trezor Suite supports a wide range of blockchains and token standards. Primary support includes:
- Bitcoin (BTC) — full support with advanced transaction options
- Ethereum (ETH) & ERC-20 tokens — send, receive, and manage tokens
- Litecoin (LTC), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), and many others
- Custom token addition for less common ERC-20 tokens
For a complete and up-to-date list, check the official documentation or the in-app supported assets panel—Trezor continuously expands compatibility.
Setup & First Time Use
Getting started with Trezor Suite is designed to be straightforward. Below is a condensed step-by-step guide to initialize your device and connect it to the Suite.
- Download Trezor Suite: Visit the official Trezor website and download the Suite for your operating system. Always verify the official domain and checksums when possible.
- Install and launch: Install the application and open it. The Suite runs locally—no cloud backups are created unless you explicitly export data.
- Connect your Trezor: Use the supplied USB cable to connect your Trezor device. The Suite will detect the device and prompt you to get started.
- Create or recover wallet: Choose to create a new wallet (generate a new recovery seed on-device) or recover from an existing seed. Follow on-device prompts carefully.
- Set a PIN: Your device will ask you to set a PIN code. This code protects the device if it is lost or stolen and should be chosen carefully (avoid predictable patterns).
- Explore the Suite: Add accounts for the assets you want to manage, review the portfolio, and adjust settings like passphrase options and theme preferences.
When creating or recovering a wallet, never type your recovery seed into a computer. Always enter words directly on the device and store the physical backup securely.
Using Trezor Suite — Day-to-Day
Here are common actions and where to find them in the Suite:
- Send / Receive: The Send and Receive tabs let you prepare transactions, review fees, and send coins. When sending, verify the transaction details on your device's screen before approving.
- Swap / Exchange: Use the built-in swap integrations to exchange between supported assets. Review counterparty fees and liquidity details before executing.
- Account History & Exports: Export CSV statements for bookkeeping or tax reporting. The Suite's transaction history aggregates on-chain activity per account.
- Device Management: Update firmware, rename the device, or wipe and restore wallets from the Device settings panel.
Advanced Features & Power-User Tips
Power users will appreciate the advanced settings and tools available in Trezor Suite. These let you fine-tune behavior and use security-enhancing patterns.
Hidden Wallets
Create hidden wallets using a passphrase to conceal additional accounts. Hidden wallets do not appear without the correct passphrase, offering plausible deniability in extreme scenarios.
Coin Control & Fee Customization
Use coin control for Bitcoin to select which UTXOs to spend. Customize transaction fees to balance cost and confirmation time, and preview the on-chain fee and size before signing.
Third-Party App Integrations
Connect the Trezor device to approved third-party wallets and services for broader DeFi interactions. Only grant access to services you trust and review their security practices.
Troubleshooting & Common Questions
Problems are rare, but here are quick fixes for common issues:
- Device not detected: Try a different USB cable or port, ensure the device is unlocked with the PIN, and confirm the Suite is up to date.
- Firmware update failed: Retry the update. If issues persist, consult official support — do not install firmware from untrusted sources.
- Missing coins: Make sure the appropriate account is added for that coin or token. Some tokens require manual addition of contract addresses for ERC-20 tokens.
- Recovery concerns: If you have concerns about your recovery seed, create a new wallet and transfer funds to it after ensuring the new seed is stored securely.
FAQ
Is Trezor Suite free?
Yes. Trezor Suite is free to download and use. Transaction fees and swap provider fees still apply when performing on-chain or off-chain exchanges.
Can I use Trezor Suite on a public/shared computer?
While the Suite is designed to operate safely with a hardware wallet, avoid using untrusted or public computers when managing large amounts. Always verify the environment and avoid saving sensitive files on shared machines.
What happens if I lose my Trezor device?
If you lose your device but have the recovery seed, you can restore your wallet on a new Trezor or a compatible wallet that supports the same recovery standard. If you lose both the device and seed, funds are unrecoverable.
Privacy & Data Handling
Trezor Suite strives to minimize data collection. The Suite queries blockchain nodes to display balances and transactions, but your private keys and seeds remain local to the device. Trezor provides options to use custom nodes for increased privacy.
Downloads & Installation Links
Download Trezor Suite from the official Trezor website for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Verify digital signatures and checksums when possible to ensure authenticity. Do not download Suite from third-party sites or installers that look suspicious.
Recommended system requirements:
- 64-bit OS: Windows 10 or later, macOS 10.14+ (or newer), or a recent Linux distribution
- USB port (for device connection)
- Internet access for software updates and blockchain queries
