Understanding Trezor® Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop application developed by SatoshiLabs for managing your Trezor® hardware wallet. It provides a secure interface for accessing your cryptocurrency assets, executing transactions, and monitoring your portfolio with advanced security features not available in the web version.

Unlike the web interface, the desktop application offers enhanced privacy features, including optional Tor integration, and operates as a standalone application that doesn't rely on browser security. Performing a proper Trezor Suite download ensures you're using the most secure and feature-rich method to interact with your hardware wallet.
