Trezor Suite — Official Crypto Wallet App for Secure Management

Quick links — Official resources

1. What is Trezor Suite?

Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application for managing Trezor hardware wallets. It provides a unified interface to store, send, receive, swap, buy, and stake supported cryptocurrencies while keeping private keys secured on your Trezor device. Use Trezor Suite as the trusted control plane between you and your hardware wallet hardware.

Key purpose

• Local portfolio and transaction management tied to a physical Trezor device.
• Coin and account management with transaction history and portfolio overview.
• Advanced security and settings for firmware, passphrase use, and device management.

2. Security-first design

Trezor Suite is designed so the secret material (seed/private keys) never leaves the hardware wallet — all sensitive signing happens on-device. The Suite acts as a display and control layer that submits only signed transactions to the network. This model reduces exposure to online attackers and malware.

Recommended security practices

Device & firmware

• Always verify firmware authenticity and install official releases from Trezor's site or GitHub.
• Keep firmware up to date to receive security fixes and protocol improvements.

Seed & passphrase

• Record your recovery seed offline and store it securely — never store seeds in plaintext on a computer or cloud storage.
• Consider using a passphrase (hidden wallet) for extra privacy; treat this like an additional password.

3. Core features & workflows

Account and portfolio overview

Trezor Suite presents balances across supported coins and organizes accounts with transaction histories. Use the portfolio view to keep track of holdings and recent activity.

Send / receive / sign

Transactions are built in Suite and must be confirmed on the physical device. The device screen displays transaction details for human verification before signing.

Swap, buy & staking

Integrated partners enable swapping and buying within Suite; some chains support staking directly via the Suite interface. Third-party integrations vary by coin and region.

Advanced

Features include coin management (show/hide currencies), account derivation paths, and export/import of account data for read-only uses. Developers can consult the Suite docs for implementation details and API hooks.

4. Recommended setup checklist (step-by-step)

Before first use

1. Purchase an official Trezor device from Trezor's store or authorized reseller to avoid tampered units.
2. Download Trezor Suite only from the official site or GitHub releases and verify signatures where offered.

Initial device setup

1. Initialize the device using Trezor Suite — create a new seed or restore from a secure backup.
2. Write the recovery seed on a durable medium and store it in a secure location offline.
3. Set an optional passphrase for an extra protection layer (if you understand the tradeoffs).

Daily use

• Use Suite to prepare transactions, then confirm on the device display.
• Avoid entering your seed or writing it into any online form; Trezor Suite never asks for the seed.

5. Troubleshooting & support

Common steps

• If Suite won't connect, try a different USB cable or port and ensure device firmware is installed.
• Consult the official support guides and the Trezor community forum for device-specific help.

When to contact support

Contact Trezor support or consult official guides for lost devices, recovery issues, or suspected tampering. Never share your recovery seed with support staff — they will never ask for it.
