Trézor™ Suite (Official)^ — Desktop & Web Crypto®

What is Trézor™ Suite?

Trézor™ Suite is the official desktop and web application developed by SatoshiLabs to manage Trezor hardware wallets. It provides a single, unified interface for creating and restoring wallets, viewing balances, constructing transactions, installing companion apps or integrations, and interacting with decentralized services — while keeping private keys on the Trezor device at all times.

Key principle: Trézor Suite is a management interface only — your private keys are generated and stored inside the Trezor hardware. The Suite prepares transactions and sends signing requests; the device performs the cryptographic signing after you verify details on its screen.

Why use the official desktop and web app?

There are multiple ways to manage crypto: exchange wallets, mobile apps, browser extensions. Trézor Suite intentionally focuses on self-custody and transparency. The desktop app offers a local, offline-friendly environment while the web version provides convenience when you need it — but both rely on the same security boundary: the Trezor hardware.

Use desktop for maximum isolation and stability; use the web interface for quick checks or when desktop isn't available. Neither approach sacrifices the central guarantee: signatures must be confirmed on the physical device.

Getting started — download, install, connect

1. Download safely: Only download Trézor Suite from the official Trézor site. Verify URLs and avoid third-party clones.
2. Install: Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Follow the installer prompts; allow any required helper services (e.g., bridge connectors) when instructed.
3. Connect your device: Plug in your Trezor Model One or Model T. The Suite will detect your device and guide you through setup or recovery.
4. Initialize or restore: Choose to create a new wallet with a fresh recovery seed or restore from an existing seed phrase.

Important: never enter your recovery seed into the Suite (or any software) unless explicitly restoring on-device via the hardware—always record it offline when generated by the device.

Core features

• Account & portfolio management: Add multiple accounts, view balances, and track performance across supported coins.
• Send & receive: Construct transactions in the Suite and approve them on-device; addresses and amounts are verified by the Trezor screen.
• Exchange integrations: Optional, third-party swaps and buy options accessible from within the app (providers and fees shown prior to execution).
• DeFi & dApp connectors: Use Trézor Connect and approved integrations to interact with decentralized applications while keeping keys offline.
• Privacy controls: Tor routing, node selection, and local data storage options to reduce telemetry and fingerprinting.

Security model — what you need to know

Trézor’s security model rests on separation of responsibilities:

• Hardware custody: Private keys are created and stored on the Trezor device’s secure element. They never leave the device.
• On-device verification: Every signature requires you to validate transaction details (recipient, amount, fees) on the device’s screen.
• Recovery seed: The backup is a human-readable recovery phrase generated by the device. Protect it offline — it’s the single point of recovery.
• Open-source transparency: Both firmware and much of the Suite’s codebase are open-source for community audit and review.

Even if your computer is compromised, a malicious actor cannot sign transactions without physical access to your Trezor device and your PIN (if set) — the device screen is the last line of defense.

Privacy & network options

Privacy-conscious users value Trézor Suite for its configurable network options. You can:

• Enable Tor to route network requests through the Tor network, masking your IP address when querying block explorers or update servers.
• Connect the Suite to your own full node (Bitcoin, Ethereum) for maximum sovereignty and privacy.
• Limit telemetry and opt out of analytics — the Suite provides straightforward privacy toggles.

Privacy is optional and adjustable — pick the settings that match your threat model.

Supported coins, tokens, and integrations

Trézor Suite supports a broad selection of major coins (Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, etc.) and many tokens, with additional coverage via integrations and external wallets. If a specific token or cutting-edge chain is not yet native, the Suite often provides recommended external integrations or community-verified third-party tools to bridge functionality safely.

Always verify compatibility for newer or niche tokens before sending funds.

Typical workflows — receive, send, sign

Receiving funds

1. Select an account and click Receive.
2. Copy the address shown in the Suite and verify that the same address appears on your Trezor device’s screen.
3. Share the verified address with the sender.

Sending funds

1. Create the transaction in the Suite (recipient, amount, fee level).
2. Preview the transaction and send the signing request to your device.
3. Inspect the on-device display carefully and physically confirm the signature.
4. The Suite broadcasts the signed transaction to the network.

On-device verification prevents address substitution and invisible fee manipulation — always rely on the device screen rather than host software.

Advanced options — passphrases, PSBT, multisig

Trézor Suite supports advanced workflows for power users:

• Passphrase-protected wallets create hidden accounts derived from the same seed but accessible only with the passphrase.
• PSBT (Partially Signed Bitcoin Transactions) support enables air-gapped signing and multisig coordination with external tools.
• Multisig setups can be coordinated with compatible software to distribute signing authority across multiple devices or participants.

Advanced features increase security but add complexity — test workflows with small amounts before deploying them for large holdings.

Firmware and Suite updates

Keeping both device firmware and the Suite up to date is critical. Updates often include security patches and new coin support. The Suite verifies firmware signatures before applying updates and guides you through the process securely. Never install firmware from untrusted files or sources.

Troubleshooting — common issues and quick fixes

When in doubt, consult the official Trézor support resources and the community forums — many issues have well-documented, safe resolutions.

Best practices and checklist

• Buy devices only from official Trézor channels or authorized resellers.
• Record your recovery seed offline and store it in multiple secure locations.
• Confirm addresses and amounts on the device screen for every transaction.
• Keep firmware and Suite updated; verify signatures where possible.
• Use passphrases or multisig for high-value holdings.
• Avoid entering your recovery phrase into any online form — treat it as the key to everything.

Final thoughts

Trézor™ Suite (Official)^ is a mature, security-first application that brings the benefits of hardware-backed custody to everyday crypto users. By combining a clear, audited software interface with the uncompromising security of the Trezor device, the Suite enables confident, private, and flexible crypto management across desktop and web platforms.

Whether you’re holding Bitcoin for the long term, interacting with DeFi, or experimenting with multisig workflows, the Suite provides a secure foundation — but success depends on careful operational practices and consistent backups. Own your keys, verify on-device, and choose settings appropriate to your personal risk model.
