Quick start • Trezor Suite
🚀Intro — what is Trezor Suite?
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web interface for Trezor hardware wallets. It provides a clean UI for managing coins, checking balances, and broadcasting transactions while keeping your private keys safely inside the device. Think of Suite as the secure bridge between your hardware wallet and the blockchain.
🛠️Install — Desktop & Web
Download the official app:
1. Desktop: go to trezor.io and download "Trezor Suite" for your OS (Windows/macOS/Linux).
2. Web: open suite.trezor.io and confirm you are on the official domain.
3. Always verify the site SSL certificate and optional release notes.
Tip: Prefer desktop for offline stability; web suite is handy for quick access.
🔌Connect your Trezor
Use the original USB cable and connect your Trezor to your machine. Trezor Suite will detect your device and guide you through initial steps. If asked, update firmware only from the official app to avoid tampered files.
Initial device flow:
- Choose: Create new wallet OR Recover wallet
- Write down the recovery seed (24 words) on the provided card — never store digitally.
- Optionally set a PIN for the device.
- Confirm and finish setup in Suite.
💱Adding accounts & coins
Trezor Suite supports many coins and tokens. Add an account by clicking "Add account" and selecting the currency. Suite indexes your balances and shows transaction history. For tokens (ERC-20, etc.) you may need to add them manually.
✉️Send & Receive (safe workflow)
Receive:
1. In Suite -> Accounts -> Receive.
2. Verify address on the physical device screen.
3. Share address, then wait for confirmations on the blockchain.
Send:
1. In Suite -> Accounts -> Send.
2. Enter destination address and amount.
3. Review fees & details in Suite.
4. Confirm the transaction directly on your physical Trezor (always).
🧰Security best practices
Always keep your recovery seed offline and private. Use a PIN and enable passphrase if you want plausible deniability. Only update firmware when prompted by official Suite. Beware of phishing sites and never enter your seed into any software or website.
📚Summary & next steps
You now have the essentials: how to install Suite, initialize a device, add accounts, and safely send/receive crypto. The important recurring rule is: your seed is the ultimate key — protect it physically and never disclose it. After you feel comfortable, explore advanced Suite features like coin-specific settings, coinjoin integrations, and exchange integrations, but always read the official release notes first.
