1. Key features (overview)

Secure key storage

Trezor Suite is an interface — your private keys stay on the hardware device (Model One, Model T or Safe devices). Suite communicates with the device to sign transactions while the sensitive seed and private keys remain offline on the hardware.

Portfolio, send & receive

The app displays your balances, transaction history and provides send/receive flows tailored to each supported coin. If you hold many assets, the Suite consolidates them in one secure place for easier oversight.

Buy, sell, swap and staking (where available)

Through integrated partners and services, Suite allows swaps and some staking operations without exposing your private keys to third parties. Always review the counterparty and fees in the Suite UI before confirming.

Firmware updates & device management

Updating device firmware is handled from inside Suite. Always follow the official update flow and verify releases — verifying downloads reduces supply-chain risks.

2. Supported coins & integrations

Trezor supports a broad set of coins and tokens; see the official supported assets list before migrating funds. Suite also supports WalletConnect so you can interact with DeFi dApps while keeping custody on your device.

3. Setup guide: install, verify, connect

Step 1 — Download & verify

Always download Suite from the official site and verify the installer or web app fingerprints as detailed in Trezor's guides.

Step 2 — Initialize your device

  1. Connect the device and follow on-screen prompts.
  2. Create a new seed on the device (never on a computer) or recover from a trusted backup.
  3. Record the recovery seed securely offline — consider a steel backup for long-term storage.

Step 3 — Set a PIN and optional passphrase

Protect physical access to the device with a PIN. For added privacy, use a passphrase (also known as hidden wallet) — know that losing the passphrase means losing access to those funds.

4. Best practices & security checklist

Keep firmware up to date

Firmware updates include security fixes. Apply official updates via Suite only and verify release notes when possible.

Verify downloads and official pages

Confirm you are on the correct domain and use guides to verify signatures and checksums. Phishing sites mimic wallets — double-check URLs and bookmarks.

Protect your recovery seed

Never store the seed as an unencrypted file or photo. Use offline steel backups or paper stored in a safe location, and avoid sharing seed words with anyone.

Use a dedicated device when possible

Manage large sums from a trusted, secure machine. Avoid public or shared computers for critical operations.

5. Troubleshooting & support

If you run into issues, Trezor's support center, community forum and docs are primary resources for troubleshooting connection problems, firmware errors and verification steps. When contacting support, never share your recovery seed or private keys.

6. Frequently asked questions

Does Suite store my private keys?

No — Suite acts as a management app. Private keys and seed are generated and kept on the hardware device itself.

Can I use Suite on the web and desktop?

Yes. Suite is available as a desktop app (recommended) and a web app. Follow the official download & verify instructions for the desktop installer.

What if I lose my device?

Use your recovery seed to restore on a new Trezor or compatible device. If you lose both device and seed, funds are irrecoverable — this is why secure backups matter.

7. Closing thoughts

For anyone holding crypto, moving custody to a hardware wallet and managing it with Trezor Suite provides a clear security advantage over software-only wallets. Combining good physical protection, verified downloads, and cautious use of connected services will dramatically reduce risk while keeping your coins usable.
