1. What Is Trezor Suite®?

Trezor Suite® is the official desktop and web application designed to work seamlessly with your Trezor hardware wallet. It allows you to manage your crypto portfolio, send and receive assets, update firmware securely, and track transactions — all while keeping your private keys offline and safe. :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}

Unlike hot wallets, which connect directly to the internet, Trezor Suite keeps your keys protected by requiring physical confirmation on your Trezor device for every sensitive action. Through this process, you retain full control over your funds at all times.
