With features like portfolio tracking, transaction history, and easy integration with exchanges, Trezor Suite is more than just a wallet—it’s a secure gateway to the blockchain. For advanced users, it also supports multiple cryptocurrencies, allowing you to manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of altcoins from a single interface.

Step 1: Download and Install Trezor Suite®
To get started, you’ll need to download Trezor Suite from the official Trezor website. It’s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as a web-based version for quick access.
- Visit the Trezor Suite download page.

- Follow the on-screen installation instructions.
Once installed, launch the application. You’ll be prompted to connect your Trezor device to your computer via USB. Make sure your device firmware is up-to-date, as Trezor Suite only works with the latest firmware versions to ensure optimal security and functionality.
Step 2: Connect Your Trezor Device
After opening Trezor Suite, connect your Trezor hardware wallet. The application will guide you through the setup process, which includes:
- Verifying your device’s authenticity.
- Setting up a secure PIN to protect against unauthorized access.
- Backing up your recovery seed, which is crucial for restoring access if your device is lost or damaged.
It’s highly recommended to complete the recovery seed backup offline, in a safe and private location. For additional instructions, check our Trezor.io/start setup guide.
Step 3: Setting Up Your Wallet
Once your device is connected, Trezor Suite will prompt you to create or recover a wallet:
- Create a new wallet: Ideal for first-time users. Follow the step-by-step prompts to generate your wallet and securely store your recovery seed.
- Recover an existing wallet: If you already own a Trezor device, enter your recovery seed to restore your wallets and balances.
After setup, Trezor Suite will sync with the blockchain, displaying all your connected accounts and cryptocurrencies. You can now view your portfolio, monitor transaction history, and receive live price updates.

- Send crypto: Enter the recipient’s address, specify the amount, and confirm the transaction on your Trezor device. All private keys remain offline, ensuring maximum security.
