Overview
Trezor Suite is the official software companion for Trezor hardware wallets. It serves as a unified interface—available as a downloadable desktop application and as a browser-accessible web app—that helps you control private keys, inspect accounts, and perform crypto operations with strong, hardware-backed security. The Suite is designed to reduce complexity while exposing advanced controls for power users.
Why choose the official Suite?
Not all wallet software is created equal. Trezor Suite is purpose-built to work with Trezor devices, minimizing attack surface and making secure workflows intuitive. Core reasons to use the official app include:
- Private-key protection — signatures happen on your device; keys never touch your computer.
- Open-source transparency — anyone can audit the Suite’s source code for security and privacy practices.
- Multi-platform — install on Windows, macOS, Linux or use the web app in supported browsers.
- Broad asset support — manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, ERC‑20 tokens, and dozens more blockchains and tokens.
- Built-in swaps & on‑ramps — access liquidity partners and compliant fiat providers without exposing secret material.
- Portfolio & analytics — monitor balances, historical performance and allocation at a glance.
Security model — how it protects you
The Suite is designed around the premise that your Trezor device is the root of trust. When you create or import an account, your private keys remain stored inside the hardware. The Suite constructs transactions and forwards them to the device for signing; you confirm every action on the device’s screen. This separation significantly reduces the risk of remote compromise from malware or phishing attempts.
Passphrase & PIN options
For layered security, Trezor devices support a device PIN and an optional passphrase. The PIN prevents unauthorized local access; a passphrase lets you create hidden wallets that are not discoverable without the exact phrase. Use both according to your threat model.
Open audits & community scrutiny
Because the Suite’s codebase is available publicly, security researchers and community members can audit, replicate, and suggest improvements. That transparency helps catch issues early and maintain robust software hygiene.
Primary features
Safe transaction signing
Every send or contract interaction is confirmed on the Trezor device. The Suite shows human-readable transaction details while the device shows the low-level outputs, addresses, and amounts to ensure what you sign is exactly what you expect.
Account management & customizations
Create multiple accounts for a single coin, label addresses for bookkeeping, import watch-only accounts, and export xpubs when you want external tools to read balances without requiring private keys.
Swaps, buys & integrations
Through vetted partners, the Suite offers in-app swaps and fiat on-ramps. These services run on third-party infrastructure; the Suite intermediates without exposing key material. Fees and limits vary by provider and region.
Tracking, charts & portfolio insights
Track balances across accounts, view price charts, and measure portfolio performance over time. You can set display preferences (currency, date ranges) and export activity logs for record-keeping.
How to get started
- Download the official desktop installer from Trezor’s website or launch the verified web app in a supported browser.
- Connect your Trezor device via USB and follow the guided onboarding to initialize or recover your device.
- Set a strong device PIN; write down and securely store your recovery seed. Never share your seed or enter it into a website or app.
- Add accounts for the currencies you want to manage and optionally import watch-only addresses for monitoring.
- Before transacting, always verify the receiving address and amounts on the Trezor device screen.
Tip: Validate the download signature or checksum offered by Trezor to ensure you’re running an authentic build.
Supported assets & limitations
The Suite supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies and expands support over time. While common coins like Bitcoin and Ethereum enjoy full support, some tokens or newer chains may have limited features (for example, partial signing support or no built-in staking UI). If you plan to interact with complex smart contracts or less common tokens, consult Trezor’s compatibility list or community documentation first.
Frequently asked questions
Is Trezor Suite free to use?
Yes — the Suite is free software. Integrated third-party services (exchanges, fiat providers) may charge fees independent of the Suite.
Can I use Suite without a Trezor?
Some read-only features, such as portfolio overviews and watch-only wallets, work without a connected device. Any operation that requires signing (sending funds, approving contracts) requires a compatible Trezor hardware wallet.
What happens if I lose my device?
If you lose your Trezor, funds can still be recovered using the recovery seed on another compatible hardware wallet or via recovery tools that accept the seed. Keeping a secure, offline copy of your recovery phrase is essential.
