— 4 min read

Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application developed by SatoshiLabs, the creators of Trezor hardware wallets. It serves as the ultimate companion for managing your cryptocurrency portfolio securely with Trezor devices like the Safe 5, Safe 3, Model T, and Model One. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced user, Trezor Suite provides an intuitive interface to buy, sell, send, receive, swap, and stake cryptocurrencies while keeping your private keys offline and fully under your control.

As a DeFi wallet, Trezor Suite allows you to connect to thousands of decentralized applications (dApps) via WalletConnect, enabling secure interactions with platforms like Uniswap, 1inch, Aave, and OpenSea for trading, staking, lending, and NFTs. It supports managing altcoins across multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and thousands of tokens. The app emphasizes self-custody, privacy, and transparency, with features like Tor integration and coin control for advanced users.

Trezor Suite is available as a desktop app (Windows, macOS, Linux), web version (at https://suite.trezor.io/web/), and mobile app (Android full support; iOS with some limitations). The desktop version offers the most comprehensive experience, including full transaction signing. For mobile crypto wallet needs, Android users enjoy seamless connectivity, while iOS supports portfolio tracking and basic operations.

Trezor Suite Setup: Step-by-Step Guide

Setting up Trezor Suite is straightforward and takes about 15 minutes. Always download from the official source to avoid phishing risks.

  1. Download and Install Trezor Suite Visit the official page at https://trezor.io/trezor-suite or start at https://trezor.io/start. Download the desktop app for the best experience, or use the web version directly in your browser.
  2. Connect Your Trezor Device Plug in your Trezor hardware wallet via USB (or Bluetooth for compatible models like Safe 7 on iOS). Open Trezor Suite—it will detect your device automatically.
  3. Install Firmware (If Needed) New devices ship without firmware for security. Trezor Suite will guide you to install the latest version. Confirm all actions on your device's screen.
  4. Create a New Wallet Select "Create a new wallet." Choose between Single-share Backup (default, 20 words) or Multi-share Backup for advanced security. Your Trezor will display the recovery seed words—write them down on the provided backup card or a secure medium like Trezor Keep Metal. Never enter these words online or take photos; store them safely offline.
  5. Set a PIN Create a strong PIN on your device. This protects access if your Trezor is lost.
  6. Verify Backup and Authenticity Trezor Suite will prompt you to check your backup and authenticate the device (for newer models like Safe 3/5).

Once set up, your wallet is ready. Enable coins in the "Coins" section to manage altcoins.

How to Use Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite's dashboard provides a clear overview of your portfolio. Key features include:

  • Send and Receive Crypto: Generate addresses (always verify on device), send transactions with physical confirmation.
  • Buy, Sell, and Swap: Integrated providers let you purchase crypto with fiat or swap assets securely.
  • Staking: Earn rewards on Ethereum, Cardano, Solana directly in the app.
  • Connect to dApps for DeFi: Use WalletConnect to link with DeFi protocols. Open a dApp, select WalletConnect, scan the QR code in Trezor Suite, and approve connections/transactions on your hardware wallet.
  • Portfolio Tracking: View balances, transaction history, and privacy tools like coin control.

For mobile use, download the Trezor Suite app from app stores. Android offers full functionality; iOS is great for monitoring.

Creating a Trezor Suite Wallet

Creating a wallet happens during initial setup (as above). For hidden wallets, enable the passphrase feature in settings—this adds an extra layer of protection.

Recovering or Importing a Wallet to Trezor Suite

If recovering from a seed phrase (not to be confused with Ledger Live desktop recovery phrase—always use your Trezor's specific backup):

  1. Wipe the device if needed (Settings > Device > Wipe).
  2. In setup, choose "Recover wallet."
  3. Select word count (12/20/24) and enter words on the device (never in the app for security).
  4. For importing existing wallets, use recovery to load your seed.

Trezor Suite does not support direct import from other wallets like Ledger without the seed phrase. Store your seed phrase safely—it's your ultimate backup.

Note: There is no official Trezor Suite browser extension; connectivity uses Trezor Bridge or WebUSB.

Managing Altcoins, DeFi, and Security Best Practices

Trezor Suite supports thousands of altcoins—enable them in settings. For DeFi, WalletConnect provides direct, secure access without exposing keys. Always confirm transactions on your device.

Store your seed phrase safely offline—never digitally. Use passphrase for plausible deniability. Regularly update firmware via Trezor Suite.

Trezor Suite integrates with third-party apps like MetaMask for broader DeFi access if needed.
