Trezor Suite — Desktop & Web Crypto Management
Trezor Suite is a unified management environment for your hardware-backed crypto holdings. Designed for security-first users and developers, Suite offers account management, send/receive flows, swap integrations, staking interfaces, and advanced signing tools — all while keeping private keys confined to your Trezor device.
Download & Verify
Download Trezor Suite from the official site and verify the installer integrity before running. Verification reduces the risk of tampered binaries and supply-chain attacks.

Features — what Suite offers
Trezor Suite is built around a small set of core principles: keep keys offline, provide clear confirmation UX, and expose powerful developer primitives. Below are the major feature areas and how they benefit different user types.
Account Management & UX
Suite presents a consolidated portfolio view. Accounts are derived from your seed using standardized derivation paths, and the UI categorizes balances, pending transactions, and historical activity. For receiving funds, Suite generates addresses and forces on-device verification so you can always confirm a real address before sharing.
Swaps & Onramps
Integrated swap providers and fiat onramps allow you to exchange assets and buy crypto without exposing your keys. Suite queries partner quotes, displays a clear cost breakdown, and requires on-device confirmation for any address or contract interaction.
Staking & NFTs
Staking interfaces present APYs and validator details; operations requiring signing show readable summaries and are approved on-device. The NFT gallery surfaces token metadata and provenance information to help users verify authenticity before interacting with collectibles.
Security model — separation of concerns
Trezor Suite is deliberately split into host responsibilities and device responsibilities. The host fetches network data, builds unsigned payloads, and presents human-friendly summaries; the device independently validates and signs. This separation reduces attack surface and preserves cryptographic custody.
- Network queries & fee estimation
- Transaction construction
- User interface & history
- Key generation inside Secure Element
- PIN protection & brute-force countermeasures
- On-device display for verification & manual approval
Developer integrations & best practices
Developers integrating Suite or device transports should design for clarity and recoverability. The signing boundary principle is central: prepare payloads on the host; require the device to show essential details before returning a signature.
Practical advice
- Always parse and present human-readable transaction details before calling sign APIs.
- Implement reconnection logic for transport interruptions (USB unplug, permission revocation).
- Test across firmware versions—new firmware may change UX or available features.
- Do not log raw unsigned payloads or any sensitive partial data in production logs.
// Example: conceptual flow
// 1. Host builds unsigned tx
// 2. Host shows readable summary to user
// 3. Host calls device.signTransaction(unsignedTx)
// 4. Device displays and requires manual approval
// 5. Device returns signature -> host broadcasts
FAQ & Troubleshooting
- Is Suite a custodian?
- No. Trezor Suite is a management interface. Private keys remain under user control on the hardware device; Suite does not hold custody.
- What if I lose my device?
- Use the recovery seed to restore accounts on a compatible device. If you used a passphrase, you must supply it as well to recover those specific accounts.
- How do I verify a download?
- Compare the published SHA256 or PGP signature on the official site with your downloaded installer. For enterprise, integrate checksum verification into deployment pipelines.
- Firmware update failed — now what?
- Do not share your seed. Retry the update on a trusted machine. If the device becomes unresponsive, contact official support and follow verified recovery workflows.
