Trezor Suite: Secure Software for Managing Your Cryptocurrency
Trezor Suite is the official application used to manage cryptocurrencies with Trezor hardware wallets, including the Trezor One and Trezor Model T. It provides a secure and user-friendly interface that enables users to send, receive, and monitor their crypto assets, all while keeping private keys offline and protected. Trezor Suite replaces older browser-based tools with a modern, privacy-focused desktop and web experience designed to work hand-in-hand with Trezor devices.
What Is Trezor Suite?
Trezor Suite is a desktop and web-based software that acts as a bridge between your hardware wallet and the blockchain. Unlike standard wallet apps, Trezor Suite never exposes your private keys to the internet. It allows you to interact with your cryptocurrencies safely by requiring physical confirmation of actions on your Trezor device. All sensitive operations—like signing transactions—are handled by the device itself.
Main Features of Trezor Suite
-
Secure Wallet Access
Users can access their crypto wallets by connecting their Trezor device and entering a PIN. If a passphrase is enabled, it must also be entered before accessing the wallet. -
Send and Receive Crypto
Trezor Suite supports secure sending and receiving of cryptocurrencies. All outgoing transactions require physical confirmation on your Trezor device, ensuring no transaction can be approved remotely or by malware. -
Token and Coin Support
Trezor Suite supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and many other cryptocurrencies. It also supports Ethereum-based tokens (ERC-20), with automatic detection for most assets. -
Exchange Integration
Users can exchange cryptocurrencies directly in Trezor Suite through built-in third-party services. Trades are done securely without needing to give up custody of your funds. -
Portfolio Overview
The dashboard provides a clear view of your asset distribution, transaction history, and live market values, helping you keep track of your portfolio at a glance. -
Privacy Tools
Optional integration with the Tor network is available to enhance anonymity. Users can also control how their UTXOs (unspent outputs) are selected during transactions for better privacy. -
Account Labeling
With encrypted cloud backup, users can label transactions and accounts. These labels are encrypted and only accessible when your Trezor is connected.
Security Highlights
-
Offline Private Key Storage
Private keys are stored securely in the Trezor hardware wallet and never leave the device. -
On-Device Transaction Verification
All transactions must be reviewed and confirmed on the Trezor screen, protecting you from tampering or phishing. -
PIN and Passphrase Protection
The wallet requires a PIN to access and can be further secured using an optional passphrase that creates a hidden wallet. -
Recovery Seed Backup
During initial setup, users receive a 12- to 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is the only way to recover your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
