Executive summary
Trézór Suite is the official desktop and web application from Trezor for managing cryptocurrency with hardware-backed security. The Suite combines portfolio monitoring, secure sending and receiving, swapping, staking (where supported), and account management — all while keeping private keys isolated on your Trezor hardware device. It is designed for both newcomers and advanced users who require a secure, auditable interface to interact with on-chain assets.
Why Trezor Suite matters
Security-first design
The Suite is engineered around the principle that private keys never leave the hardware wallet. Signing operations are performed on-device; the Suite acts as a user-friendly interface and transaction coordinator. This separation reduces attack surface compared to hot wallets and centralized exchanges while preserving control and recoverability for the user.
Unified desktop & web experience
Whether you prefer the desktop app for a local, installable experience or the web app for convenience, the Suite aims to provide feature parity across both. The desktop app is recommended for the best security posture and offline verification options, while the web app is convenient for quick access on trusted machines.
Core features
Manage & monitor
Track balances across multiple coins and tokens in a single portfolio view, inspect transaction history, and export records for accounting. The UI groups assets and highlights pending or unverified transactions to help avoid errors.
Send, receive & advanced transactions
Create standard and advanced transactions (including change-address controls where supported), preview the transaction details, and confirm signing on the physical device. This workflow ensures users verify the essential details on-trézór before authorizing.
Swap, buy & stake
Integrated third-party providers let users swap assets, buy crypto with fiat rails, or stake supported assets directly from the Suite, all while retaining custody via the hardware key. Always verify the provider and fees before confirming any transaction.
Developer & auditability
Trezor Suite is open source and maintained in a public repository, enabling community review, reproducible builds, and transparency into changes. Developers can inspect the monorepo and contribute or audit the codebase.
Getting started — practical steps
1. Download and verify
For security, always download the Suite from the official Trezor site or the project's official GitHub releases. Verify checksums or signatures if available before installation to avoid phishing or tampered installers.
2. Initial setup
Install the desktop app (recommended) or open the web app, connect your Trezor device, and follow the guided onboarding. If this is a new device, complete the device initialization and securely store your recovery seed. If migrating, use official seed import instructions only.
3. Routine hygiene
Keep your Suite up to date, verify the release notes for breaking changes, and never install third-party plugins that aren’t audited. Use a dedicated machine for large-value operations where practical, and keep firmware updated through trusted Suite prompts.
Best practices & tips
Security checklist
- Always verify the download URL and signatures from the official source.
- Confirm transaction details on your Trezor device screen before signing.
- Keep backup copies of recovery phrases offline in secure locations.
- Use the desktop installer for enhanced local verification workflows.
Performance & troubleshooting
If the Suite fails to detect your device: try a different USB cable or port, restart the app, or consult official support docs. For network or third-party provider issues, check the Suite status page or the Trezor community forum for announcements.
Compliance, transparency, and community
As an open-source project with public docs and a GitHub monorepo, Trezor encourages audits and community contributions. Business users can combine Suite with internal policies and multi-signature setups where appropriate to meet organizational controls.
