1. Accessing and Managing Your Wallet

Once your setup is complete, Trezor Suite becomes your central hub. It’s where you’ll manage your assets, monitor balances, and initiate transactions.

Here’s what you can do immediately:

  • View balances for supported coins and tokens
  • Send and receive crypto directly through the dashboard
  • Label transactions and accounts for better tracking
  • Connect multiple accounts across different blockchains

Trezor Suite is designed for ease of use. Whether you hold Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other supported cryptocurrencies, all activity happens through a clean, secure interface connected directly to your Trezor hardware wallet.

2. Add More Accounts and Currencies

By default, your wallet may only show a Bitcoin account during initial setup. But Trezor supports many other cryptocurrencies including Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin, and thousands of ERC-20 tokens.

To add more:

  • Open Trezor Suite
  • Select Add Account
  • Choose the coin or network you wish to activate

Each account is isolated and managed securely through your Trezor device. You can add multiple accounts under the same coin if needed—for example, one for savings and one for spending.

3. Perform Secure Transactions

When you want to send funds, Trezor makes the process highly secure. Every transaction must be confirmed physically on your hardware device.

Here’s what happens:

  1. You enter the recipient address and amount in Trezor Suite.
  2. Your Trezor device displays the full details.
  3. You verify and approve the transaction on the Trezor screen.

This means no transaction can happen unless you physically approve it. Even if your computer were compromised, an attacker couldn’t steal your crypto without your Trezor and your consent.

4. Use Trezor with Third-Party Wallets

Although Trezor Suite is the recommended tool, your device can also integrate with:

  • Web-based wallets (e.g., MetaMask, Electrum)
  • Decentralized applications (dApps)
  • DeFi platforms

For example, you can connect Trezor to MetaMask to interact with decentralized exchanges or NFT platforms, while still securing your private keys offline.

These advanced features may require enabling certain permissions in Trezor Suite and using Trezor Bridge for communication with web browsers.

5. Update Firmware (When Available)

Firmware updates are released periodically to patch vulnerabilities, improve performance, or add new features.

When an update is available:

  • Trezor Suite will notify you on launch.
  • You’ll be prompted to install the new firmware.
  • The device will walk you through the update process.

Never skip firmware updates—they are essential for keeping your device secure and up-to-date.

6. Strengthen Backup and Security Practices

After setup, your recovery seed is your most important asset. Without it, you cannot recover your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.

Key security practices include:

  • Store your recovery seed offline, in a fireproof or tamper-resistant location.
  • Never take photos or store the seed digitally.
  • Consider using a passphrase for added protection (advanced feature).
  • Do not share your seed with anyone—not even “Trezor support.”

For long-term peace of mind, you may also look into using metal backups instead of paper seed cards.

7. Get Comfortable with Trezor Suite Features

Trezor Suite offers much more than basic wallet functionality. Once you're familiar with the basics, you can explore:

  • Portfolio tracker: Monitor your overall holdings over time.
  • Exchange feature: Swap supported assets without leaving the app.
  • Coin control (for Bitcoin): Manage UTXOs manually for privacy or fee optimization.
  • Labeling: Use metadata (encrypted locally) to keep track of what each transaction is for.

All of this is managed within the same secure ecosystem.

Final Thoughts

Trezor.io/Start provides the foundation—but what you do next determines how securely and effectively you manage your crypto assets. After setup, your Trezor wallet becomes a command center for long-term crypto management. The beauty of this hardware wallet lies in its balance of simplicity and powerful features.

Take time to explore, stay alert to software updates, and keep your recovery seed secure. With your Trezor device in hand and your wallet fully set up, you now hold full control of your digital wealth—without relying on any third party.
