What is Trezor Suite?

Trezor Suite is the desktop and web application for managing hardware wallet devices from SatoshiLabs. It provides an interface to send, receive, exchange, and manage multiple cryptocurrencies while keeping your private keys offline on your Trezor device.

Quick Setup (h3, step-by-step)

1. Download and install

Visit the official download pages and install the Trezor Suite application for your operating system. Always use official links below to avoid phishing sites.

2. Connect your device

Plug in your Trezor hardware device. Open Trezor Suite, then follow on-screen prompts to initialize a new device or recover an existing wallet using your recovery seed.

3. Create a backup

Write down your 12/24-word recovery seed and store it in a safe, offline location. Never store the seed digitally or share it. This seed is the only way to recover access to your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
