Trezor Suite: Your Secure Desktop Wallet Interface

The **Trezor Suite** app is the official gateway to your cold storage. It handles portfolio tracking, transaction creation, and privacy, while the physical Trezor device provides the essential cryptographic security.

Explore Core Features

Trezor Suite: The Secure Bridge to the Blockchain

The Trezor Suite is a dedicated **desktop application** (recommended over web versions) designed to create a secure, isolated communication channel with your Trezor. It is the visual layer that allows you to manage accounts, see balances, and initiate transactions. Critically, it **never** handles your private keys; it only relays transaction data to the device for signing.

Software's Job (Trezor Suite)

Monitors the blockchain, tracks your portfolio value, generates new receiving addresses, builds the unsigned transaction data packet, and manages app settings (like Passphrase input).

Hardware's Job (Trezor Device)

Authenticates the user via PIN/Passphrase, stores the **Recovery Seed** (private keys), and signs the transaction using the private key *internally*. This signed transaction is then sent back to the Suite for broadcast.

Accessing Your Wallet Through the Suite

Accessing your portfolio starts and ends with the Trezor Suite app orchestrating the secure connection.

Step 1: Launch & Connect

Suite Launch: Open the official **Trezor Suite** desktop application (always verified via trezor.io/start).
Device Detection: Plug your Trezor device into your computer. The Suite automatically detects the hardware and requests authentication.

Step 2: PIN via Scrambled Interface

PIN Entry: The Suite will prompt for your **PIN**. For Model One users, the Suite displays a scrambled number pad, and you match the positions to the pattern shown on the physical Trezor screen.
Model T Entry: For Model T users, the PIN is entered *entirely* on the device's touchscreen, bypassing the computer entirely—this is the highest level of security.

Step 3: Passphrase Input

Passphrase Prompt: If your wallet uses a Passphrase, the Suite will prompt for the **25th word**.
Wallet Access: Once both the PIN and the Passphrase (if used) are confirmed, the Suite receives a "ready" signal from the Trezor and securely loads your account balances and transaction history.

Key Features for Enhanced Management and Privacy

Trezor Suite moves beyond simple transaction management by integrating powerful tools for security, privacy, and portfolio growth.

1. Integrated Portfolio View

Track Holdings Securely

Trezor Suite provides a clear, real-time overview of all your supported cryptocurrency balances and their corresponding fiat value, allowing you to manage multiple coin types from one unified, private interface.

2. Enhanced Privacy Tools

Tor and CoinJoin

The Suite features built-in **Tor integration**, routing all network traffic through the Tor network for superior anonymity. For Bitcoin, it also supports **CoinJoin**, an advanced privacy feature for mixing transactions.

3. Verified Exchange Integration

Buy, Sell, and Exchange

The Suite integrates services like Invity, allowing users to safely buy crypto directly into their cold storage wallet, and exchange funds between different cryptocurrencies without ever having to move assets onto a vulnerable third-party exchange.

Transaction Security: Suite & Device Collaboration

The Suite and the Trezor device work together to ensure that every outgoing transaction is correctly verified and approved by the user.

Transaction Creation (Suite)

The Suite gathers the transaction details (recipient address, amount, network fee) and displays them clearly on the screen for the user to review before sending the raw, unsigned data to the Trezor hardware.

Physical Verification (Trezor)

The Trezor device displays the critical transaction details on its small, trusted screen. The user must manually confirm these details on the device's hardware before the private keys are used to sign the transaction. This final, air-gapped check is essential.
