What is Trezor Suite?
Trezor Suite is the official companion application for Trezor hardware wallets. It combines a modern user interface with powerful, security-focused tooling so you can safely store, send, and receive cryptocurrencies while keeping your private keys on the device. Suite is built to be auditable, lean, and privacy-conscious: network requests are minimised, and critical operations are performed only after your physical confirmation on the Trezor device.
Key features at a glance
- Hardware-backed security: Private keys never leave your Trezor device; operations require physical confirmation.
- Multi-currency support: Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, ERC-20 tokens, and many other coins and tokens natively or via integrators.
- Account management: Multi-account views, custom label support, balance aggregates and transaction history.
- Coin control & advanced send: UTXO selection, fee control, and custom outputs (where supported).
- Built-in exchange & bridging integrations: Swap coins from inside Suite with third-party liquidity providers (always review on-device).
- Privacy-conscious UX: Minimal telemetry and clear connection indicators so you always know what Suite is doing.
Security model — short & practical
Trezor Suite treats the hardware device (Trezor One, Model T, etc.) as the single source of truth for signing. The software acts primarily as a convenient UI and network layer. Follow these core principles:
- Always verify the transaction details on your Trezor device’s screen before confirming.
- Use a strong, unique passphrase if you enable the optional passphrase feature — treat it like a password rather than a recovery seed.
- Never share your 24-word seed. Suite will never ask for your seed; only the device uses it to derive keys.
- Keep your Suite installation up to date. Security updates patch network- and UI-level vulnerabilities quickly.
Getting started (quick)
- Download Suite: Visit the official Trezor website to download the desktop or use the Suite web client. Verify checksums if you prefer extra assurance.
- Connect your Trezor: Plug in your device, unlock it, and open Suite. The app will detect the device and offer a clear onboarding flow.
- Create or restore a wallet: Choose to initialize a new device or restore from an existing seed. If creating a new seed, write it down offline and store it securely.
- Manage accounts: Add coin accounts, label them, and optionally set up advanced options like coin-specific derivation paths or passphrases.
Advanced features
Trezor Suite includes several tools aimed at advanced users and power-users:
- Coin control & detailed fees: Fine-grained control for Bitcoin UTXOs and custom fee rates for time-sensitive transactions.
- PSBT support: Create and sign Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions for multisig workflows and offline signing.
- Developer & debug mode: For integrators, Suite exposes developer tools for signing, verification, and chain-specific diagnostics.
- Custom tokens and contract interactions: Interact with smart contracts and manage non-standard tokens via the Ethereum app and Suite’s contract UI.
Troubleshooting tips
- Device not recognized: Try a different USB cable and confirm the device is unlocked. Reboot Suite and, if needed, reinstall drivers on your OS.
- Missing balance: Ensure the correct account derivation and network are selected. Force a rescan or check the blockchain explorer for the address balance.
- Failed transaction: Check network fees and that you confirmed the exact outputs on-device. If a transaction is stuck, use RBF (Replace-By-Fee) if available or a child-pays-for-parent approach.
Best practices
- Keep a separate, offline backup of your recovery seed in a secure physical location.
- Use the passphrase feature only if you understand how it creates hidden wallets — losing the passphrase means losing access permanently.
- Limit use of exchange integrations: prefer sending to known, reputable services and always confirm addresses on-device.
- Regularly check for firmware updates for your Trezor device and install them through Suite when available.
FAQ — quick answers
Can Suite access my seed? No. Suite communicates with the hardware device; the seed remains on-device and never leaves it.
Do I need Suite to use a Trezor? Suite provides the most user-friendly experience, firmware updates, and extra features, but advanced users can use other compatible wallets or CLI tools.
