This guide will walk you through everything you need to know to manage your crypto directly from your Trezor wallet — no complicated steps, just simple instructions.

🔐 Before You Start

Here’s what you’ll need:

  • Your Trezor device (Trezor Model One or Model T)
  • A USB cable to connect it to your computer
  • The Trezor Suite App installed on your computer (downloaded from Trezor.io/Start)
  • A stable internet connection
  • Your PIN code to unlock the wallet
✅ Important: Make sure your device firmware and Trezor Suite App are up to date before sending or receiving funds.

🧭 Step 1: Log In Using Your Trezor

  1. Open the Trezor Suite App on your computer.
  2. Connect your Trezor device via USB.
  3. Enter your PIN on the Trezor screen.
  4. Once verified, your crypto dashboard will appear.

You’re now logged in securely and ready to send or receive crypto.

📥 How to Receive Crypto with Trezor

Receiving crypto is simple and safe when using a hardware wallet. Here’s how:

1. Select the Coin You Want to Receive

  • In the Trezor Suite dashboard, choose the coin (e.g., Bitcoin, Ethereum) from the left-hand panel.
  • Click “Receive.”

2. Generate Your Receiving Address

  • Trezor Suite will display a new address.
  • Click “Show full address on Trezor.”
  • Confirm that the address displayed on your Trezor matches the one on your screen.
🔒 This step ensures you’re not being tricked by malware into using a fake address.

3. Share the Address

  • Copy the address or scan the QR code.
  • Send it to the sender or paste it into the exchange/wallet you’re transferring from.

4. Wait for Confirmation

Once the transaction is sent, you can track its progress directly in Trezor Suite. Most networks require a few confirmations before your funds are fully credited.

📌 Pro Tip: You can generate a new receiving address every time — all addresses still point to your same wallet.

📤 How to Send Crypto with Trezor

When you want to send crypto from your Trezor wallet:

1. Choose the Right Coin

  • In the Trezor Suite App, select the coin you want to send from the list.

2. Click “Send”

You’ll see a form that asks for the following:

  • Recipient address (the address you want to send to)
  • Amount of crypto to send
  • Transaction fee settings (choose Low, Medium, High, or Custom)

3. Confirm the Details

Double-check everything:

  • Is the address correct?
  • Is the amount correct?
  • Are you OK with the fee?

Then click “Continue.”

4. Confirm on Your Trezor Device

Your Trezor device will show all the transaction details:

  • Recipient address
  • Amount
  • Network fee

Use the physical buttons to confirm and authorize the transaction. This ensures no transaction goes out without your full approval.

5. Transaction Sent

You’ll receive a confirmation message, and your transaction will appear in your history. You can also track it using the blockchain explorer.

🛠️ Optional Features When Sending or Receiving

🔀 Custom Fees (Advanced Users)

If you're experienced and want to optimize fees:

  • Choose Custom and enter your own fee amount (in sats/byte for Bitcoin or gas for Ethereum).

🧾 Add Labels to Transactions

Trezor Suite allows you to add notes to each transaction to help keep your finances organized.

👥 Use Multiple Accounts

You can create and use multiple accounts for the same coin, allowing for better separation between personal, business, or savings wallets.

⚠️ Safety Tips for Sending and Receiving

  • Always confirm the address on your physical Trezor device.
  • Never copy addresses from emails or chat apps — phishing is common.
  • Double-check the recipient address before confirming any transaction.
  • Avoid sending test transactions unless you’re unsure — use only small amounts if testing.
  • Do not enter your recovery phrase anywhere on your computer or phone.

💬 Common Questions

❓ Can I receive funds if my Trezor is not plugged in?

Yes. As long as someone has your address, they can send funds to it. You can generate addresses while plugged in, then store them for later use.

❓ Can I use Trezor to send tokens like USDT or DAI?

Yes — as long as they are supported and you're using the correct Ethereum or supported network address. Make sure you also have enough ETH (or native coin) to pay gas fees.

❓ What happens if I send funds to the wrong address?

Unfortunately, crypto transactions are irreversible. Always triple-check addresses before sending.
