What is Trezor Suite?

Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application developed by SatoshiLabs for managing your Trezor hardware wallet. It acts as the bridge between your physical Trezor device (such as the Trezor Model T or Trezor One) and the blockchain. With Trezor Suite, you can securely send, receive, and manage your cryptocurrencies, check your portfolio, update firmware, use advanced privacy tools, and much more — all while keeping your private keys offline.

Step 1: Install Trezor Suite

1. Go to the official website: trezor.io/trezor-suite.
2. Download the version that matches your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
3. Install the application by following the on-screen instructions.
4. Tip: Never download Trezor Suite from unofficial sources to avoid malware.

Step 2: Connect Your Trezor Device

1. Plug in your Trezor hardware wallet via USB.
2. Open the Trezor Suite app on your computer.
3. If it’s your first time, the app will detect your device and guide you through basic setup.
4. Confirm any actions on the physical device screen — your Trezor requires physical confirmation for transactions and sensitive changes.

Step 3: Update Firmware (If Needed)

1. Trezor Suite will automatically check for firmware updates.
2. If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions.
3. Always verify the firmware authenticity on your Trezor’s screen — this protects you from man-in-the-middle attacks.

Step 4: Create or Recover a Wallet

Create New Wallet:

1. If you’re setting up for the first time, choose “Create new wallet.”
2. Your Trezor device will generate a unique recovery seed (usually 12, 18, or 24 words).
3. Write this seed on paper and store it securely offline — it’s the ONLY backup for your crypto.

Recover Existing Wallet:

1. Select “Recover wallet.”
2. Enter your recovery seed words directly on the Trezor device (never on your computer).

Step 5: Add Accounts & Coins

1. After setup, you can add different cryptocurrencies.
2. Click “Add Account” and choose the desired coin (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum).
3. Trezor Suite supports over 1,000 coins and tokens.

Step 6: Send and Receive Funds

To Receive:

1. Click on the account for the coin you want to receive.
2. Select “Receive” to generate a receiving address.
3. Always verify the address on your Trezor device screen before sharing it.

To Send:

1. Click “Send.”
2. Enter the recipient’s address and amount.
3. Confirm the transaction on your Trezor device by physically approving it.

Step 7: Use Additional Features

Trezor Suite offers advanced tools:

• Portfolio: See the value of your assets at a glance.
• Coinjoin (for BTC): Improve your transaction privacy.
• Passphrase: Add an extra layer of security to your seed.
• Tor Integration: Route your traffic through Tor for more anonymity.

Step 8: Stay Secure

• Always keep your recovery seed offline and never share it.
• Use a strong device PIN.
• Keep your Trezor firmware and Trezor Suite up to date.
• Only trust the official Trezor Suite app.
