What Is the Trezor Suite?

Trezor Suite is the official application used to interface with your hardware wallet. With Trezor Suite, you can:

• Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other cryptocurrencies
• Track portfolio value
• Send and receive assets securely
• Access integrated third-party exchanges (e.g., ChangeNow, CoinSwitch)
• Enable additional security settings like passphrases

Protecting Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is the only backup of your wallet. If your device is lost or damaged, this phrase allows you to recover all your funds. Never share it. Never enter it online. Follow these best practices:

• Write it on paper, not digitally
• Store it in a fireproof safe or split in secure locations
• Consider using a metal backup (e.g., Cryptosteel)

Sending and Receiving Cryptocurrency

Once your Trezor is set up, you can start transacting:

To receive:

1. Open Trezor Suite
2. Select the cryptocurrency
3. Click "Receive"
4. Verify the address on your Trezor screen
5. Share the address to receive funds

To send:

1. Click "Send" in Trezor Suite
2. Enter the recipient’s wallet address and amount
3. Confirm the transaction on your Trezor device

Advanced Security Tips

• Enable a device passphrase (an optional 25th word)
• Never update firmware from unofficial sources
• Double-check domain names (always use https://trezor.io)
• Update Trezor Suite only through official links

Recovering Your Wallet

If your Trezor device is lost or destroyed, you can recover your wallet on any new Trezor by choosing “Recover Wallet” and entering your 12/24-word seed. This ensures your crypto remains accessible, even if the physical device is gone.
