Your Control Center for Self‑Custody

Trezor Suite (Official) brings your hardware wallet, accounts, and transactions into one coherent workspace. Whether you prefer the installed desktop app or the web experience in a supported browser, the security model remains the same: keys stay on your Trezor device; approvals happen on‑device; and Suite orchestrates the rest—portfolio, sending/receiving, coin management, and integrations.

1) Download & Verify

1. Use official sources: Navigate via your own bookmark to the official download page. Avoid ads and look‑alike domains.
2. Pick your platform: Install Suite on Windows/macOS/Linux or access the official web instance with a supported browser.
3. Verify the build: Check code‑signing info or published hashes if you’re comfortable. Everyone should at least confirm the correct domain and publisher name.
4. Install & open: Grant USB permissions; on macOS, approve first launch under Security & Privacy if required.

2) Setup: Initialize or Recover

During setup you’ll either generate a brand‑new wallet or restore an existing one from your recovery seed. Never type the seed into a website or an app—only write it down and confirm on the device when prompted.

1. New wallet: Choose Create new wallet, set a strong PIN, and carefully write the seed words in order. Keep them offline and private.
2. Recover wallet: Select Recover wallet and enter your existing words using the secure flow. Double‑check spelling and order; the device will re‑derive your accounts.
3. Optional passphrase: Add a passphrase to create hidden wallets (advanced). Remember: the passphrase is part of your backup—forget it and those funds are irretrievable.

3) Everyday Features You’ll Use

Accounts & coins

• Enable coins Turn on the networks you need (BTC, ETH, etc.). Some assets may require specific firmware versions.
• Add accounts Create labeled accounts like “BTC Cold,” “ETH Gas,” or “Spending.” Clear names reduce mistakes.
• Metadata Keep encrypted backups of labels; export CSVs for bookkeeping.

Receive

1. Choose the account and click Receive.
2. Display the address on the device; confirm every character matches Suite before sharing.
3. If a tag/memo is required (e.g., XRP), include it exactly as shown.

Send

1. Click Send, paste the destination, set amount and fees.
2. Verify asset, network, address, and amount on your Trezor screen, then approve.
3. Track confirmations via a block explorer; save the transaction ID.

Exchange & on‑ramp (via partners)

Suite integrates providers for buying, selling, and exchanging. Availability and fees depend on region and asset. Compare quotes, read terms, and understand settlement times before approving on‑device.

NFTs & tokens

For supported chains, you can manage tokens and view NFTs. Always verify contract addresses and collection authenticity, especially with new or illiquid assets.

4) DeFi & dApps: Safer Connections

• Connect intentionally: Only pair with reputable dApps. Confirm the domain and SSL before continuing.
• Review permissions: On EVM chains, token approvals can be unlimited. Prefer bounded approvals for the amount you need.
• Revoke stale approvals: Periodically revoke unused allowances with a reputable revoker tool. Always confirm spender addresses on‑device.
• Test small first: When bridging or trying a new protocol, send a tiny test amount before moving size.

5) Privacy, Security & Operational Hygiene

• PIN & passphrase: Keep your PIN unique and consider passphrase‑segregated wallets for different risk profiles.
• Local protections: Lock your OS user session; avoid clipboard managers auto‑reading addresses; disable screen overlays while signing.
• Updates: Keep firmware and Suite current. After major updates, restart your system for a clean state.
• Address hygiene: Use fresh addresses on UTXO chains where appropriate; avoid linking identities across accounts.
• Backups: Store seed words offline. Consider fire/water‑resistant storage and geographical separation.
• Phishing defense: Bookmark your official entry points; do not trust unsolicited “support.” No one legitimate needs your seed—ever.

6) Troubleshooting Quick Wins

• Device not detected: swap cables, change USB port, avoid hubs, unlock device, and ensure the right drivers/permissions.
• Can’t connect in browser: use a supported browser, enable WebUSB (where required), and confirm any pop‑up permission prompts.
• Sync stalled: update Suite, restart the app/computer, check network status; blockchain congestion can delay confirmations.
• Forgot PIN: the device wipes after failed attempts—restore from your recovery seed.
• Lost device: get a genuine replacement and restore; funds follow the seed, not the hardware.

7) Power‑User Tips

• Derivation paths: Advanced users may manage legacy/SegWit/Native SegWit on BTC; know which account type you’re using when importing elsewhere.
• Custom fees: Learn fee markets (sat/vB for BTC; gas price/limit for EVM). For time‑sensitive transfers, adjust fees consciously.
• Labeling strategy: Use consistent prefixes (e.g., VAULT/, SPEND/, GAS/) to keep accounts organized.
• Cold routines: Practice a full dry‑run (receive → small send) on a low‑value account to build muscle memory before major transactions.
• Log exports: Export logs when requesting help; they aid diagnosis without exposing keys.
