Official Site® | Trezor Suite® — Getting Started

Welcome to Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web companion for Trezor hardware wallets. It offers a secure and privacy‑focused interface to manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, ERC‑20 tokens, NFTs, and many other blockchains. This guide walks you through downloading Trezor Suite, initializing your Trezor device, creating and recovering wallets, adding accounts, sending and receiving funds, and advanced features like coin control and integrations — all with an emphasis on security.

Why use Trezor + Trezor Suite?

Trezor hardware wallets store private keys in a secure, offline environment. Trezor Suite keeps sensitive operations isolated while providing a clean, user-friendly UI for everyday tasks. Transactions are signed on the device and only public information (addresses, balances) is shared with the host computer. This reduces exposure to malware and phishing attempts compared to software-only wallets.

Before you begin

Prepare the following:

• A supported Trezor device (e.g., Trezor Model T or Trezor One).
• A desktop computer for Trezor Suite (Windows, macOS, or Linux) or use the official web version from Trezor’s domain.
• A reliable USB cable and, optionally, a secondary internet‑connected device for reference materials.
• Materials to securely record your recovery seed — preferably metal backup options for long-term durability.

Important: Only download Trezor Suite from Trezor’s official website and verify web URLs. Never enter your recovery seed into a website or share it with anyone.

Step 1 — Download and install Trezor Suite

Visit the official Trezor website and navigate to the Trezor Suite download page. Choose the installer for your operating system or use the web version if preferred. Verify checksums or signature files if available. Run the installer and launch Trezor Suite.

Step 2 — Connect your Trezor device

Connect the Trezor device to your computer using a USB cable. Open Trezor Suite and follow the on‑screen prompts. If this is your first time using the device, choose to create a new wallet on-device. If you already possess a recovery seed, choose the recovery option to restore your wallet.

Step 3 — Initialize or recover your wallet

1. Create a new wallet: On the device, choose to create a new wallet, set a PIN, and write down the recovery seed exactly as shown. Trezor supports 12, 18 or 24‑word seeds depending on the model and settings — follow the device prompts.
2. Recover an existing wallet: Select the recover option and enter your seed words on the Trezor device using the secure input method offered by the device (touchscreen or device buttons).

Never store your recovery seed digitally or photograph it. Prefer durable, offline storage like metal plates to protect against fire, water and physical degradation.

Step 4 — Add accounts in Trezor Suite

Within Trezor Suite, add accounts for supported blockchains by selecting Add Account > Choose Coin. Trezor Suite will derive addresses from your device and display balances. You can label accounts for easier management and set preferences for coin-specific features like transaction format.

Step 5 — Receive funds securely

To receive funds, select an account and click Receive. Trezor Suite will show a freshly derived receive address and prompt you to confirm it on your Trezor device. Always compare the address presented in the app with the address displayed on the device before sharing it — confirming on-device prevents clipboard or display tampering.

Step 6 — Send funds and verify details

To send funds, create a new transaction in Trezor Suite by entering the recipient, amount and optional memo. Review fees and advanced options such as fee priority or coin control (for UTXO chains like Bitcoin). When you proceed, Trezor Suite will send the unsigned transaction to the device for signing. The Trezor device will display transaction details — verify destination, amounts and fee on the device screen, then physically confirm to sign.

Advanced features

Staking, tokens & NFTs

Trezor Suite supports token management and NFT viewing for select networks. Some staking operations may require external delegation interfaces — Trezor Suite provides guidance and links to trusted staking partners when available.

Backup & recovery best practices

• Record your recovery seed exactly and store copies in separate, secure physical locations.
• Consider metal backups to protect against natural disasters.
• Test your recovery process on a spare device if you plan to use advanced backup solutions or multisig arrangements.

Troubleshooting common issues

Device not detected: Try a different USB cable or port, and ensure the device is unlocked. Check OS-level permissions and browser settings if using the web version.

Missing tokens or balances: Make sure the account is added in Trezor Suite and the correct network/app support is enabled. For ERC‑20 tokens, add the token manually if needed.

Security recommendations

• Keep your recovery seed offline and never disclose it. Trezor staff will never ask for your seed.
• Only download Trezor Suite from the official Trezor domain and verify any provided checksums.
• Use a strong device PIN and enable additional protections such as passphrase (hidden wallet) if you understand the trade-offs.
• Be cautious with browser extensions and unverified third-party websites when connecting your device to dApps.

Support & learning resources

Trezor provides a support center with step‑by‑step articles, video tutorials, and community forums. For critical issues, reach out to official Trezor support channels and verify communications to avoid phishing. When in doubt, consult the official documentation before performing recovery or sharing sensitive information.

FAQ

Q: Can I recover my wallet if my device is lost?
A: Yes — use your recorded recovery seed to restore your wallet on another Trezor or compatible wallet that supports the same seed standard.

Q: Should I use a passphrase?
A: A passphrase provides an additional hidden wallet layer, but it also increases the responsibility for secure storage. If you lose the passphrase, funds in the hidden wallet are irretrievable. Use passphrase only if you understand the risks.
