In some cases, you might need to display the account public key (XPUB) for your Trezor account. For example, the XPUB can be used to generate watch-only wallets in third-party services, which lets you observe transactions to and from a wallet, as well as the total balance, without being able to sign or send transactions.
Be careful handling your account public keys. When you expose these to a third party, they can see your entire transaction history.
To see the XPUB of your account:
- Plug in your Trezor and open the Trezor Suite desktop app or web app
- Select the desired account from the sidebar menu
- Then select the the Details tab, and click on Show public key:
Trezor Suite will now display your XPUB both as a QR code and as text:
- The XPUB can be copied or scanned into any application that supports XPUBs.
- You can then keep track of your transactions and balances and receive payments on the go, without needing to have your Trezor with you.
