Trezor Suite® — Official Site®

Getting Started Guide

Introduction

Welcome to Trezor Suite®, the official desktop and web interface designed to work alongside your Trezor® hardware wallet. Whether you're new to cryptocurrency or already experienced, Trezor Suite makes secure management of digital assets easier. Keys never leave your hardware device; you manage, send, receive, track portfolio, and safely approve transactions.

This guide will walk you through each step: from unboxing, software installation, security setup, everyday use, to recovery and best practices.

What Is Trezor Suite?

Trezor Suite is a non‑custodial software application that serves as the companion for Trezor hardware wallets. It supports both desktop and web environments, allowing you to:

Because all critical operations (like signing transactions) happen on the hardware itself, Trezor Suite adds a transparent layer of usability without compromising on security.

Security Model

Security is at the core of Trezor Suite’s design. Here's how it keeps your crypto safe:

Important: You will only see the recovery seed phrase *once*, during initial setup. Write it down carefully. Never store it digitally (unsecured), never share it.

Getting Started Steps

  1. Unbox and Inspect Device
    Ensure that the packaging is sealed, labels look correct, nothing seems tampered with. If anything feels off, contact official support for verification.
  2. Visit Official Setup Portal
    Go to trezor.io/start — this is the starting point for downloading official software and instructions. Avoid download links from emails or unfamiliar sites. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}
  3. Download Trezor Suite
    From the official site, select the correct version for your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux). There is also a web version / browser‑compatible alternative. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
  4. Install the Software
    Run the installer, following prompts. Grant necessary permissions. Agree to updates when available. Avoid skipping firmware or software updates. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}
  5. Connect Your Trezor Device
    Use the USB cable to connect your hardware wallet. If prompted, allow the computer or browser to communicate. Use Trezor Bridge if required (for some browsers) to facilitate connection. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
  6. Initialize Wallet
    On Device & Suite, you’ll choose whether to create a new wallet or recover from seed. If new, generate the recovery seed on device; if recovering, input your seed carefully. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
  7. Set Up PIN and Optional Passphrase
    Pick a strong PIN. Memorize or store it securely. If you want added security, enable a passphrase (acts like a 25ⁿᵈ word). :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
  8. Backup and Verify Seed
    Using the recovery seed sheet, write down words in exact order. Some Suites offer a verification step to confirm correctness. Store it offline and possibly in multiple safe locations. Consider using metal backup if possible. :contentReference[oaicite:6]{index=6}
  9. Add Accounts / Assets
    Once set up, you can add accounts for BTC, ETH, other supported coins. You may also label them for easier identification. :contentReference[oaicite:7]{index=7}
  10. Send a Test Transaction
    Before moving large amounts, send a small amount to test. Verify everything: recipient address (on device screen), amount, fee. Check confirmations and history. :contentReference[oaicite:8]{index=8}

Download & Verify

Below are working keys/buttons for downloading Trezor Suite from official sources. Be sure to verify signatures if offered.

Signature & Signing Key Information: Usually available on the download page. Check that the installer matches signed files with official keys. :contentReference[oaicite:9]{index=9}

Using Trezor Suite

Dashboard & Portfolio

When you open Trezor Suite, you’ll see a dashboard showing your wallet balance(s), transaction history, and portfolio in fiat values. Use this to monitor performance and get alerts for incoming funds.

Send / Receive Funds

  1. Select the “Receive” option to generate an address. Always verify the address on your Trezor device screen before sharing.
  2. For sending, select coin, enter the recipient address, amount, and select transaction fee (fast / normal / slow or custom). Again, verify details on the device.

Account Management

You may add multiple accounts (e.g. different coins, or different accounts on same blockchain). Labels help. Use coin control if supported to manage privacy. Explore settings to customize.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Do I need a Trezor hardware wallet to use Suite?

Yes. Trezor Suite is built to work *with* a hardware wallet. You may explore parts of the interface without one, but real transactions and signing require your Trezor device. :contentReference[oaicite:10]{index=10}

What platforms are supported?

Desktop: Windows, macOS, Linux. Web version accessible via browser (depending on browser capabilities). Some browsers may require the Trezor Bridge for communication. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}

What if I lose my Trezor device?

If you lose the device, your funds are not lost so long as you have your recovery seed (and optional passphrase, if used). You can recover on a new Trezor or compatible wallet using the seed. Store seed securely. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}

Is Trezor Suite safe from phishing and fake downloads?

You should always verify that you are downloading software from https://trezor.io/ or official GitHub release pages. Verify signatures if available. Do not enter your seed phrase anywhere but on device, never share it. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}

Can I use Suite only on web?

Yes, the web version is available, though some browsers may require extra steps or bridge software. Desktop version generally gives more consistent experience and may support features not yet in web. :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}
