Official Site® | trezor suite® — Getting Started
Welcome! This guide walks you through getting started with Trezor Suite® — the official desktop app for managing your crypto securely. We’ll cover setup, first run, basic operations, and an FAQ so you can get comfortable quickly.
This is an official-style quickstart: concise, safe, and written for everyday users and power users alike.
Why Trezor Suite®?
Trezor Suite is the companion app for Trezor hardware wallets. It gives you a clear, audited interface to manage accounts, send/receive cryptocurrencies, and interact with decentralized applications while keeping your private keys offline on your device.
Security-first design
The Suite is designed so that the sensitive cryptographic operations happen on your Trezor device — the app is a friendly window that displays transactions and relays signed messages without exposing your seed phrase.
Who should use it?
Anyone who owns a Trezor hardware wallet — whether you’re a first-time user or an advanced trader — should use Trezor Suite for day-to-day account management.
System requirements (brief)
- Windows 10+, macOS 10.14+, or a recent Linux distribution
- USB port (or compatible adapter) and a supported Trezor device
- Stable internet connection for updates and network interactions
Getting started — step-by-step
1. Download from the official site
Always download Trezor Suite from official sources. Below are direct official links styled for clarity. Each link is clearly labeled.
2. Install & verify
Run the downloaded installer. During installation, verify the downloaded file via checksums or signatures if you are familiar with them. The Suite may prompt for system permissions — grant only what’s necessary.
3. Connect your Trezor device
Connect the Trezor hardware wallet to your computer with the supplied cable. Open Trezor Suite and follow the on-screen instructions to pair the device. If you’re new, choose Create new wallet and write down your recovery seed on the provided recovery card — never store it digitally.
4. First run walkthrough
On your first run, Suite will guide you through:
- Device firmware checks
- Creating or restoring a wallet
- Setting a passphrase and PIN (optional but recommended)
- Adding accounts for supported coins
5. Sending and receiving crypto
To receive: open the account, click Receive, verify the address on your device, and use it in your sending app. To send: create a transaction in Suite, confirm the details, then physically confirm the transaction on your Trezor device.
Best practices for transactions
Always confirm the full address and amount on the Trezor screen — malware can try to swap addresses on your computer. Use the receive address directly from Suite and verify on-device.
Advanced features
Portfolio & exchange integrations
Trezor Suite offers portfolio tracking and integrations with on-ramp/off-ramp services. These services may be provided by third parties; review their terms and fees before using.
Passphrase-protected wallets
A passphrase creates a hidden wallet derived from your seed. It’s powerful but must be used carefully — losing the passphrase means losing access to the wallet.
Firmware updates
Firmware updates are released periodically. Follow Suite’s prompts to update firmware. Only install firmware updates from official sources and verify update messages on-device.
Troubleshooting tips
- If Suite doesn’t recognize your device, try a different USB cable and port.
- Restart Suite and the device; update both Suite and device firmware if needed.
- Consult the support portal for error codes and detailed fixes.
FAQ — Getting Started with Trezor Suite®
Q1: Is Trezor Suite free?
A: Yes. Trezor Suite is free to download and use. Network fees (miners/validators) still apply when you send crypto.
Q2: Can I restore my wallet on another device?
A: Yes. Using your recovery seed (the 12–24 word phrase), you can restore your wallet on a compatible Trezor device or supported wallet software that accepts the same seed standard.
Q3: What if I lose my recovery seed?
A: If you lose the seed and don’t have a backup, you cannot restore access — funds are irrecoverable. Store the seed securely offline (metal backup recommended for long-term security).
Q4: Does Suite support multiple cryptocurrencies?
A: Yes. Trezor Suite supports a wide range of coins and tokens. The supported asset list grows over time — check the official guide or support pages for the latest list.
Q5: How do I check for fake websites?
A: Bookmark official pages and always confirm domain names. Official Trezor domains include trezor.io and subdomains like support.trezor.io. Beware of lookalike domains and unsolicited links.
