It's the official, open-source application designed by SatoshiLabs to seamlessly integrate with your Trezor device, providing a secure, intuitive, and feature-rich environment for managing your cryptocurrencies.

What is Trezor Suite App? Your Central Hub for Crypto hubs 🏡

Trezor Suite is a desktop application (available for Windows, macOS, and Linux) that acts as the primary interface for your Trezor hardware wallet. While you can access a web version, the desktop app offers enhanced security and features. It's not a wallet in itself, as your private keys never leave your Trezor device; instead, Trezor Suite provides the graphical interface to interact with your Trezor, allowing you to:

  • Manage Multiple Cryptocurrencies: Send, receive, and track balances for a vast array of cryptocurrencies and tokens (including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, ERC-20 tokens, and newly added Stellar (XLM) in this version).
  • Monitor Your Portfolio: Get a clear overview of your total crypto holdings, track historical performance, and view detailed transaction history.
  • Perform Secure Transactions: Initiate transactions with confidence, knowing that every send operation requires physical confirmation on your Trezor device, preventing unauthorized movements of your funds.
  • Utilize Integrated Services: Directly buy, sell, and swap cryptocurrencies through trusted third-party providers integrated within the Suite, streamlining your crypto experience.
  • Access Advanced Features: Dive into advanced privacy tools, staking options, and more, empowering you with greater control over your digital wealth.

  • WalletConnect Integration: Also accessible through Experimental features, WalletConnect allows you to securely connect Trezor Suite to a growing number of popular dApps, opening up new possibilities in the DeFi and NFT spaces.
  • Enhanced Transaction Export: The transactions export menu has been improved, offering clarified filters and support for .csv, .pdf, and .json formats, making record-keeping easier.

  • Improved Date Formats: Date formats now follow your system's localization preferences, enhancing clarity for users worldwide.
