Welcome to a practical overview of Trezor Suite®, the desktop and web application designed to pair with Trezor hardware wallets and give you a secure, convenient interface for managing cryptocurrencies. This article explains what Trezor Suite® is, how it works, its key features, security considerations, and best practices to get the most from it.
Trezor Suite® is the official companion application for Trezor hardware wallets. It provides a unified interface to view balances, send and receive crypto, manage accounts and tokens, sign transactions, and interact with supported blockchains. While the Trezor device itself stores the private keys offline, Trezor Suite® acts as the bridge between your hardware wallet and the internet — presenting information and generating unsigned transactions that you review and sign on-device.
Trezor Suite® is built around three core principles: security, transparency, and user control. Security is achieved by keeping private keys inside the hardware device; transparency by providing clear transaction details and open-source software; and user control through recovery seed management and device options. These principles are visible across the design — from setup wizards to how signing prompts are displayed on the device screen.
Create and manage multiple accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other supported coins and tokens. Accounts are neatly organized and show balances, recent transactions, and token details.
Construct transactions in Suite®, then verify all details on the Trezor device before signing. This ensures that a compromised host cannot forge a transaction without your approval.
Monitor your portfolio value across accounts, view historical charts, and export transaction history for accounting or tax purposes.
Suite® integrates third-party swap providers so you can trade between assets without exposing your private keys. Swap flow requires confirming transactions on-device.
Apply firmware updates to your Trezor device via Suite®. Official updates add features and security fixes; Suite® ensures updates are verified and applied safely.
Supports passphrase-protected hidden wallets, coin-specific options, coin control features for power users, and developer tools for advanced interactions.
Trezor Suite® runs on your computer (desktop app) or in the browser and connects to your Trezor hardware wallet over USB (or supported bridges). The Suite application constructs a transaction and sends it to the device; the device displays the important information (amount, destination, fees) and requires you to approve by physically pressing buttons. Only after physical confirmation does the device sign the transaction and return the signed payload to Suite®, which then broadcasts it to the appropriate network. This important separation — private keys never leaving the device — is central to Trezor's threat model.
Setting up Trezor Suite® is intentionally guided. Typical first-run steps include:
