How to Add a Custom Token to Trezor Suite

20 October 2026

Trezor Suite does not support adding arbitrary custom tokens directly through its interface, but you can manage tokens on networks like Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, or Polygon by connecting Trezor Suite to a third-party wallet interface such as MetaMask or Rabby. This page explains the procedure for adding a token that is not automatically recognized by Trezor Suite.

What trezor suite shows by default

Trezor Suite automatically displays balances for major tokens on supported blockchains - Ethereum (ETH), ERC-20 tokens like USDC or USDT, and tokens on networks like Polygon or BNB Smart Chain that have been integrated into the software. If a token is not listed, it does not mean the token is unsupported by your hardware wallet; it simply means Suite has not indexed it. Your Trezor device can still hold and sign transactions for any valid token on those chains.

Why You Might Need to Add a Custom Token

You may hold a token that is legitimate but not yet included in Trezor Suite’s default token list. Examples include newer projects, meme coins, or tokens from less common networks. Adding the token allows you to see its balance and send it from within Suite, without needing to use an external wallet for every interaction.

Method 1: Add a Token That Is Already Supported but Not Visible

If you have received a token that Suite should recognize but does not display:

1. Open Trezor Suite and connect your device.
2. Go to the Accounts section and select the network account that holds the token (e.g., Ethereum).
3. Click the "Add token" button (often a plus icon or a link near the token list). This may be labeled "Add custom token" in some versions.
4. Suite will show a searchable list of common tokens. Type the token name or symbol. If it appears, select it and confirm.
5. The token will now appear in your account view.

If the token does not appear in that search, it is not in Suite’s built-in list. Use Method 2.

Method 2: Use a Third-Party Wallet as a Bridge

For tokens not recognized by Suite, you need to connect your Trezor to a wallet interface that allows custom token imports. MetaMask is the most common choice.

Step-by-step:

1. Install MetaMask as a browser extension (Chrome, Firefox, or Brave).
2. Open MetaMask and select "Connect Hardware Wallet" from the settings menu.
3. Choose Trezor and follow the prompts to connect your device. You may need to install the Trezor Bridge software if not already present.
4. Once connected, MetaMask will show the Ethereum account associated with your Trezor.
5. To add a custom token, click "Import tokens" (or "Add token") in MetaMask’s asset list.
6. You can search by token name, or paste the token’s contract address. You can find the correct contract address from a trusted source like Etherscan (for Ethereum) or BscScan (for BSC). Never use a contract address from an unknown source.
7. MetaMask will auto-fill the token symbol and decimals. Click "Add custom token" and confirm.
8. The token now appears in MetaMask. Your Trezor signs transactions when you send it.

You can still use Trezor Suite to view your main balances and send other tokens, but for this custom token, you will use MetaMask for sending and receiving.

Method 3: Add a Token on a Non-Ethereum Network

If the custom token is on a network like Polygon, BNB Smart Chain, or Arbitrum, you must first add that network to your third-party wallet.

1. In MetaMask, go to Settings > Networks > Add Network.
2. Enter the network details (RPC URL, chain ID, currency symbol, block explorer URL). You can find these on the network’s official documentation or from a trusted source like Chainlist.org.
3. Switch to that network in MetaMask.
4. Connect your Trezor (it will work across any EVM-compatible network).
5. Add the custom token using its contract address, as described in Method 2.

Important Considerations

• Token contract addresses are critical. A single typo can add a fake token that has no real value or is a scam. Always verify the contract address from the project’s official website or a reputable block explorer.
• Trezor Suite does not store private keys. Your seed remains on the device. Adding a token in MetaMask does not expose your keys - it only gives the wallet permission to see that token’s balance.
• Some tokens may not show a balance in Suite even after adding them via a third-party wallet. This is normal. Use the third-party wallet for those tokens.
• Sending a custom token requires a network fee (gas) in the native coin of that chain (e.g., ETH for Ethereum, MATIC for Polygon). Ensure you have enough native coin in the same account.

Troubleshooting

• Token not appearing in MetaMask after adding? Refresh the page or restart MetaMask. If it still does not appear, double-check the contract address and network.
• Transaction fails? You may need to increase the gas limit. MetaMask usually sets this automatically, but for some tokens, a manual adjustment is necessary.
• Token is on a network Trezor Suite does not support? For example, Solana or Bitcoin-based tokens cannot be managed through Trezor Suite at all. You would need a dedicated wallet for that chain (like Solflare for Solana) and connect your Trezor via that wallet’s hardware support.

Final Note

Adding a custom token to Trezor Suite is not a direct feature of the software, but the combination of Suite and a third-party wallet like MetaMask gives you full control. Always prioritize security: verify contract addresses, keep your firmware updated, and never share your recovery seed with any software.
