How to Send and Receive Cryptocurrency in Trezor Suite

Learn how to safely send and receive Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies using Trezor Suite with hardware-verified transactions.

Every transaction you make through Trezor Suite requires physical confirmation on your Trezor device. This is the core security guarantee of a hardware wallet: even if your computer is compromised, an attacker cannot move your funds without you pressing the button on the device itself. Trezor Suite guides you through each step clearly, showing you exactly what to review before you confirm.

Receiving Crypto

When you receive cryptocurrency, Trezor Suite generates a deposit address tied to your account. You must verify that address on your Trezor screen before sharing it with anyone. This protects you against address-replacement attacks, where malware silently swaps the displayed address for one controlled by an attacker.

1. Open Trezor Suite and select the account

   In the left-hand navigation, click the account you want to receive funds into — for example, Bitcoin (BTC) #1 or Ethereum (ETH).

2. Click Receive

   Select the Receive tab at the top of the account view. Trezor Suite will display a deposit address along with a QR code.

3. Verify the address on your Trezor screen

   Trezor Suite will prompt you to confirm the address on your device. Check that every character on the Trezor screen matches the address shown in the app, then press the confirm button on your device.

4. Share the verified address with the sender

   Once you have confirmed the address on your device, copy it or share the QR code with the person or service sending you funds. Only use an address that has been verified on the device.

Always verify the receiving address on your Trezor device screen. Never trust the address shown only on your computer screen — malware can alter what your browser or app displays without changing what your device shows you.

Sending Crypto

Sending cryptocurrency from Trezor Suite is a multi-step process designed to give you full visibility into where your funds are going and how much you are paying in network fees before anything is broadcast to the blockchain.

1. Select the account and click Send

   Navigate to the account you want to send from and click the Send tab.

2. Enter the recipient address

   Paste the recipient’s address into the address field, or click the QR code icon to scan one with your camera. Double-check the first and last several characters of the address before continuing.

3. Enter the amount

   Type the amount you want to send in crypto or in your selected fiat currency. Trezor Suite will convert between the two automatically. Use the Send max option to sweep the entire account balance.

4. Review and adjust the network fee

   Choose a fee level — Economy, Normal, or High — or set a custom fee. Higher fees result in faster confirmation times. See the Network Fees section below for guidance.

5. Click Send

   Review the transaction summary — recipient address, amount, and total fee — then click Send.

6. Confirm on your Trezor device

   Your Trezor will display the recipient address, the amount, and the fee. Verify each detail carefully on the device screen, then press the confirm button to approve the transaction.

7. Transaction is broadcast to the network

   After you confirm on the device, Trezor Suite signs the transaction with your private key (which never leaves the hardware) and broadcasts it to the network. You will see the transaction appear as Pending in your history immediately.

Network Fees

Network fees (also called transaction fees or gas fees) are paid to miners or validators to include your transaction in a block. They are not collected by Trezor — they go entirely to the network.

Trezor Suite offers three preset fee tiers for most coins:

Fee Level	Confirmation Time	Best For
Economy	Slower (minutes to hours)	Non-urgent transfers when the network is quiet
Normal	Average (typically minutes)	Everyday transactions
High	Faster (usually the next block)	Time-sensitive or large-value transfers

You can also set a custom fee if you want precise control. For Bitcoin, this is expressed in sat/vByte; for Ethereum, it is expressed in Gwei. Trezor Suite shows you the estimated confirmation time as you adjust.

Fee requirements fluctuate with network congestion. If you are unsure, the Normal preset is a safe default.

For large transfers, always send a small test transaction first. Confirm it arrives correctly at the destination before sending the full amount. The small fee you pay for the test is cheap insurance against a costly mistake.

Why does sending require device confirmation?

Trezor stores your private keys in a secure element that never exposes them to your computer or the internet. When you initiate a send in Trezor Suite, the unsigned transaction details are passed to the device, which displays them on its own trusted screen. Only after you physically press the button does the device sign the transaction.

This means that even if your computer is infected with malware that modifies what Trezor Suite shows on screen, the device itself will display the true transaction details — the actual address and amount — before you confirm. An attacker who controls your computer still cannot move your funds without your physical action on the device.

Can I cancel a transaction?

Once a transaction is broadcast to the network, it cannot be cancelled through Trezor Suite. However, if the transaction is still unconfirmed (sitting in the mempool), there is a chance it may be dropped if it carries a very low fee and network congestion clears it out — though this is not guaranteed and can take hours or days.

For Bitcoin, some wallets support Replace-By-Fee (RBF), which allows you to rebroadcast the transaction with a higher fee, effectively replacing the original. Trezor Suite enables RBF by default for Bitcoin transactions when supported. For Ethereum, you can attempt to cancel or speed up a pending transaction by sending a new transaction to your own address with the same nonce but a higher gas fee.

In practice, the most reliable approach is to review all details carefully before confirming on your device, since there is no guaranteed undo once a transaction is broadcast.

What if I sent to the wrong address?

Blockchain transactions are irreversible by design. If you send funds to a wrong or unintended address, there is no technical mechanism to recall or reverse them. The Trezor team and Trezor Suite have no ability to intervene in confirmed transactions.

If the wrong address belongs to an exchange or service you have an account with, contact their support team immediately — in some cases they may be able to identify and return the funds, though this is not guaranteed. If the address belongs to an unknown third party, recovery is effectively impossible.

This is why verifying the recipient address on your Trezor device screen — and ideally cross-checking it with the recipient through a separate channel — is so important before you confirm any send.
