Getting started — first run and setup

Download the official Trezor Suite from the Trezor website or access it via the verified desktop app. On first run you’ll create or recover a wallet using your device. The Suite walks you through firmware updates, PIN setup, and the recovery seed process with clear prompts. The recovery seed is the single most critical piece of information—Suite explains why it must remain offline, never photographed, and stored in multiple secure locations. The onboarding prioritizes safety: firmware verification, open-source transparency, and step-by-step security tips to reduce common setup mistakes.

Core features you’ll use daily

Suite consolidates essential features into an organized dashboard. You get a unified portfolio view showing balances across supported assets, a transaction history with rich metadata, and a send/receive flow that includes address verification on the device screen. Built-in coin support covers major blockchains and tokens, while advanced users can enable coin-specific options or custom fees. For recurring needs there’s an address book, exportable CSVs for tax tools, and the ability to label accounts so you always recognize destinations and sources during signing.

Security-first design

The security model relies on the hardware device as the single source of truth for private keys. Trezor Suite minimizes the attack surface by requiring manual confirmations on the physical device for sensitive operations. Suite displays the raw transaction data and key addresses, but the final attestation happens on Trezor hardware. The app itself runs locally and can be used in environments that prioritize privacy: it supports connecting without any third-party cloud, and advanced users can review logs or run Suite offline with specific integrations for air-gapped setups.

Privacy and network considerations

Although Suite provides a streamlined experience, it respects user privacy wherever possible. Network communications are controlled and the app avoids leaking sensitive metadata. For users who want maximum anonymity, Suite supports connecting through custom nodes or using privacy-preserving coin integrations where available. It’s a good practice to pair Suite with privacy-minded habits: use separate accounts for different activities, avoid address reuse, and verify addresses on-device before confirming transactions.

Advanced tools and integrations

Beyond basic transactions, Trezor Suite features integrations that expand functionality. These include swap services (via integrated third-party liquidity providers), portfolio export for tax reporting, and compatibility with other wallets and dApps through standardized interfaces. Power users will appreciate coin control and custom fee settings that allow precise transaction crafting. Suite also continues to expand supported assets, so staying on the latest firmware and Suite version ensures access to new blockchains and token formats.

Common troubleshooting tips

If Suite fails to detect your device, check cable quality and authorization prompts. Firmware mismatches are typically resolved by following the upgrade prompts—only use the official firmware files. If a transaction appears incorrect, disconnect and verify the intended details on-device; never confirm a transaction you didn’t initiate. For recovery seed questions, consult official documentation and avoid relying on screenshots, cloud storage, or third-party services to store seeds.
