1. What Is Trézor Suite®?

Trézor Suite® is the official desktop and web application used to manage your Trezor hardware wallet.

Unlike web-only wallets or custodial platforms, Trézor Suite puts you in full control of your assets. It acts as a secure bridge between your physical Trezor device and the digital blockchain, allowing you to confirm every action directly on the device itself.

The Suite also includes portfolio tracking, advanced coin support, and integrations with trusted partners for buying, selling, or swapping assets.

5. First Actions: Send, Receive, and Explore

After initialization, you’ll land on your Trézor Suite dashboard. Here’s what you can do:
