Reminder: No legitimate app or support agent will ask for your recovery seed. If you see such a prompt, close it immediately.

Step-by-Step Setup

  1. Download & Install: Get the official desktop installer for Windows, macOS, or Linux. Avoid search-engine ads and third-party mirrors. Run the installer and follow prompts. On macOS, approve the app in Security & Privacy if asked.
  2. Connect Your Trezor: Plug in your device with the original cable and enter your PIN. Avoid USB hubs during setup and ensure the device is unlocked.
  3. Update Firmware (if prompted): Follow on-screen guidance to update safely. Never disconnect during a firmware update.
  4. Add Accounts: In Suite, choose the networks you use (e.g., BTC, ETH). Accounts sync from the blockchain; your private keys remain inside the device.
  5. Receive First: Generate a receive address and verify it on your Trezor screen before sharing. Send a small test deposit to learn the flow.
  6. Make a Test Send: Prepare a tiny transaction. Confirm the address, amount, and fees on the device display—only press confirm if everything matches.

Unified Portfolio

Track balances, recent activity, and performance in one clean dashboard. Organize multiple accounts for saving, spending, and testing.

Buy, Swap & Earn

Use integrated providers for fiat on-ramp, token swaps, and eligible staking—while keeping approvals on the hardware device.

Web3 Connections

Connect to compatible dApps with hardware protection. Review permissions and message text on your Trezor before signing.

Security Essentials

Seed Hygiene

Your 12/24-word recovery seed is the master key. Store it offline, never type it on a keyboard or website, and never share it with “support.”

On-Device Verification

Suite prepares; the device decides. If any value on the device screen looks wrong, cancel—unsigned means nothing leaves your wallet.

Authentic Updates

Update Suite and firmware via official channels. Verify domains, and consider validating checksums when available.

Quick Troubleshooting

Device Not Detected

Try a different USB port/cable, unlock the device, avoid hubs, and restart Suite. On Linux, install udev rules and re-login.

Balances Out of Sync

Clear the app cache, restart, and check network connectivity. Busy networks may delay indexing and confirmations.

Suspicious Prompts

If any site or pop-up asks for your seed, stop immediately. Reinstall from the official source if in doubt.
