Overview
Trezor Suite combines a modern user interface with strong security practices to give you a centralized place to view balances, manage accounts, and sign transactions using your Trezor hardware wallet. The app is available as a native desktop client (Windows, macOS, Linux) and as a web application. Your private keys remain on the Trezor device; Suite only facilitates interaction with the blockchain and third‑party services.
Top features
Centralized asset management
View all supported cryptocurrencies and tokens in one place. Suite aggregates balances, price data, and transaction history so you can track your portfolio at a glance.
Secure on‑device signing
All cryptographic signing happens on the Trezor device. Suite prepares transactions, but you must verify and approve them on the hardware screen before they are broadcast.
Integrated exchange & buy options
Buy, sell, or swap assets directly inside Suite through partnered services. These integrations let you trade while keeping custody of your keys on the device.
Privacy & network options
Use Tor routing to obscure your IP, enable privacy warnings, and utilize coin control for UTXO‑based chains to reduce linkability between transactions.
Advanced backups
Suite supports standard seed backups and advanced Shamir-style backups where supported by your Trezor model, offering customizable redundancy and recovery options.
Open source & auditable
Much of the Suite codebase and device firmware are open source, allowing independent audits and community review for transparency and security.
Getting started
- Download Suite: Visit the official Trezor website (
trezor.io) to download the desktop client or open the web app in a supported browser. - Connect your device: Plug in your Trezor using a data‑capable USB cable and unlock it with your PIN.
- Follow the onboarding flow: Suite will guide you through firmware updates, creating or restoring your seed, and basic configuration.
- Add accounts: Select the coins and tokens you want to manage. Suite will sync balances and transaction history.
- Transact: To send funds, create a transaction in Suite, verify details on your Trezor device screen, and approve to sign. To receive, generate an address in Suite and verify it on‑device before sharing.
Security best practices
- Download Suite only from the official Trezor website and verify checksums for the installer if you perform integrity checks.
- Verify every address and transaction on the physical device display before approving; do not trust only the desktop or browser preview.
- Keep your recovery seed offline and stored in at least two secure locations. Consider using metal backups to protect against fire, water, and decay.
- Use the passphrase feature only if you fully understand its implications; it creates distinct hidden wallets derived from the same seed and is not recoverable if forgotten.
- Beware of phishing: do not follow links from unsolicited emails or messages claiming to be Trezor support. Always navigate to official resources directly.
Advanced features for power users
Coin control & fee management
For Bitcoin and other UTXO chains, Suite provides coin control, letting you choose which inputs to spend. You can also set custom fees to balance speed and cost when sending transactions.
Shamir-style backups (SLIP-0039)
Where supported, Shamir backups allow you to split your seed into multiple parts, requiring a subset to reconstruct the full seed. This enables secure distribution of recovery material across trusted parties or locations.
Privacy mode & Tor
Enable Tor mode to route Suite's network requests through the Tor network, hiding your IP address. Combine this with best practices like address reuse avoidance to reduce traceability.
Troubleshooting common issues
Device not recognized
Use a different USB cable or port; some cables are charge‑only. On the web app, ensure the Trezor Bridge service (if required) is installed and your browser is up to date.
Firmware update problems
Follow on‑screen instructions carefully and do not unplug the device during updates. If an update fails, consult official support and provide logs if requested.
Transaction or broadcast errors
Check network status and recommended fee levels. For UTXO failures, confirm inputs and consider rebroadcasting or resubmitting with appropriate fees.
Frequently asked questions
Do I need Suite to use my Trezor? Suite provides the best integrated experience, but other third‑party wallets may support Trezor devices. Using Suite is recommended for most users.
Is Suite safe for large holdings? Yes — when used with proper security practices (secure seed storage, verifying on device, avoiding phishing), Suite combined with a Trezor device is suitable for managing significant assets.
What if I lose my device? Restore your wallet on a new Trezor or compatible device using your recovery seed. Without the seed, funds cannot be recovered.
Support & resources
For step‑by‑step tutorials, firmware release notes, and security advisories, visit the official Trezor Support Center. If you suspect your seed or passphrase has been compromised, move funds to a new seed immediately and follow official incident guidance. Never share your seed, PIN, or passphrase in support tickets.
