Connect MetaMask to your Trezor

Use MetaMask with your Trezor to manage Ethereum and EVM assets while your private keys stay on the device.

What is MetaMask?

MetaMask is a non-custodial multichain wallet. When you pair it with your Trezor, you can use Ethereum and other EVM networks such as Arbitrum, Base and Polygon, including ones that are not available in Trezor Suite. Every transaction is still approved on your device.

How to connect MetaMask to your Trezor

1. Open Trezor Suite and connect your Trezor

Open Trezor Suite on your computer. Plug in your Trezor with a cable, or connect over Bluetooth if it supports it. Unlock it with your PIN.

2. Open MetaMask and pair with Trezor

Install the MetaMask browser extension only from MetaMask's official site or the browser store listing linked there, since fake wallet extensions are used to steal funds.

MetaMask creates its own wallet before you can add your Trezor. Select Create a new wallet, then Use Secret Recovery Phrase. Write down the Secret Recovery Phrase that MetaMask shows you, and keep it separate from your Trezor wallet backup.

MetaMask then asks you to create a password. This password only unlocks MetaMask on your computer, and MetaMask can't reset it.

To pair, select your account name at the top of MetaMask, then select Add wallet. Select Connect a hardware wallet, then Trezor. Your browser asks to connect to your Trezor. Select your Trezor in the list, then select Connect.

3. Approve the connection in Trezor Suite

MetaMask opens Trezor Connect in Trezor Suite. Review the permission request and select Confirm. You can select Always allow for this app to skip this step next time.

Trezor Suite then shows the accounts that will be shared. Only your public keys are shared. Your private keys never leave the Trezor, which is why you confirm every outgoing transaction on the device. Select Confirm.

Trezor Suite confirms the export. Select Verify to check that the key shown in Trezor Suite matches the one on your Trezor screen, then select Close.

4. Finish in MetaMask

Back in MetaMask, select the accounts you want to use, then select Unlock. Your Trezor accounts are now ready to use in MetaMask.

To remove your Trezor from MetaMask, open this screen again and select Forget this device.

Accounts, addresses, and what shows in Trezor Suite

When you pair, you choose which accounts to use with MetaMask.

If an asset is supported by Trezor Suite, it will also show there. Assets on networks that Trezor Suite does not support are visible only in MetaMask.

Select the addresses you want to use. They are shared in order, so if you pick the third address, it will not appear in Trezor Suite until you have used the second one.

Different derivation paths, called HD paths in MetaMask, exist so you can match addresses created in other wallets. Each path shows different addresses, and they all belong to the same Trezor. You can switch paths on the account selection screen, under Select HD path. Keep BIP44 Standard unless you need to match addresses from another wallet.

If your accounts or balances do not look right, the most common cause is a different passphrase or wallet than the one used to create them. For more help, contact Chatbot Hal.

Which Trezor devices work with MetaMask

All Trezor devices work with MetaMask. What differs is which coins each device supports. Some networks are not available on Trezor Model One.

Check that your device supports the coins you want to use at trezor.io/coins.

Trezor Model T, Safe 3, Safe 5 and Safe 7 show supported smart contract transactions in plain language on the device screen. This is called clear signing. Trezor Model One does not support clear signing, so it shows raw transaction data instead.
