Connect Trezor Suite to your own node

Connect Trezor Suite to your own node from Settings, then Networks. Trezor Suite then reads the blockchain only through your server, which gives you more privacy and lets you verify your balances and transactions independently.

To learn what a node is, see What is a node?. For the backend behind most coins, see What is Blockbook?.

Blockbook or Electrum: which server type?

When you connect your own node, Trezor Suite offers two server types:

• Blockbook, available for every coin that uses a Blockbook backend
• Electrum, available for Bitcoin only

Pick Blockbook if you run a Blockbook instance, or Electrum if your Bitcoin node exposes an Electrum server. The steps below cover both.

How to connect to your node

Before you start, make sure your node is fully synced and reachable, and that your Trezor is connected and unlocked.

Choose Desktop or Mobile app below

• Ordinateur
• Application mobile

Desktop

Open the backend settings

Go to Settings, then Networks. Hover over the coin you want to change (for example, Bitcoin) and select the gear icon.

The Bitcoin backend window opens.

Choose a server type

Open the dropdown at the top and pick your server type:

• Trezor (default)
• Custom Blockbook server
• Custom Electrum server (Bitcoin only)

Custom Blockbook server

Enter the full URL of your Blockbook instance, then select Confirm

Example: https://btc.trezor.io

Blockbook uses a self-signed certificate. Before you connect, open your server's address in a browser, confirm the certificate, then add the address in Trezor Suite.

Custom Electrum server (Bitcoin)

Enter your Electrum server address, then select Confirm. Use this format: host:port:protocol

Examples:

• 192.168.1.100:50001:t (local network, TCP, unencrypted)
• 192.168.1.100:50002:s (local network, SSL, encrypted)
• abc123def.onion:50001:t (Tor, TCP)
• [2001:db8::1]:50001:t (IPv6, TCP)
• [2001:db8::1]:50002:s (IPv6, SSL)

Confirm and check the connection

Select Confirm. To verify you're connected, expand Connection Info. It shows the server you're connected to, the latest block hash and height, and the backend version.

Set a custom block explorer (optional)

On desktop you can also change which external explorer opens when you select a transaction or address. In the same window, expand Explorer and edit the Root URL, plus the transaction and address paths if your explorer uses a different format.

This only changes where external links open. It doesn't affect balances, history, or fees. Select Confirm when done.

Mobile

Open the backend settings

Go to Settings, then tap Networks. Tap the sliders icon next to the network you want to change (for example, Bitcoin).

The Bitcoin backend screen opens.

Choose a server type

Tap Server type and choose one:

• Trezor (default)
• Blockbook, for any coin that uses a Blockbook backend
• Electrum, for Bitcoin only

Enter your server address

Type your server address in the field, then tap Connect.

For a Blockbook server, enter the full URL. Example: https://btc.trezor.io

For an Electrum server, use the format host:port:protocol. Examples:

• 192.168.1.100:50001:t (local network, TCP, unencrypted)
• 192.168.1.100:50002:s (local network, SSL, encrypted)
• abc123def.onion:50001:t (Tor, TCP)
• [2001:db8::1]:50001:t (IPv6, TCP)
• [2001:db8::1]:50002:s (IPv6, SSL)

When the connection succeeds, the card shows a green Connected status.

Switch back to the default servers

To return to the default servers, reopen the backend settings for the coin, open the server type dropdown (desktop) or Server type picker (mobile), and select Trezor (default). Trezor Suite reconnects to the default backend right away.

Connect to a node over Tor

If your node is only reachable over Tor, turn on Tor in Trezor Suite first, then enter your node's .onion address as the server.

For Electrum, include it in the host:port:protocol format, for example abc123def.onion:50001:t.
