What is the Trezor Suite? 

Trezor Suite is an official software developed by Trezor that allows users to manage their crypto assets securely. It provides a user-friendly interface to store, send, receive, and now stake cryptocurrencies like Solana (SOL). The key benefits of using Trezor Suite include:

• Non-custodial storage – You control your private keys at all times.
• Enhanced security – Funds are managed through a hardware wallet, reducing the risk of hacks.
• Seamless staking integration – Staking features are built directly into the platform.
• Easy tracking – Monitor your staking rewards and manage transactions effortlessly.

How Does Staking SOL Work?

​​Staking Solana (SOL) allows you to grow your Solana whilst participating in network security. Unlike Bitcoin’s mining, Solana uses Proof-of-Stake (PoS) and Proof-of-History (PoH) for fast and efficient transactions.

PoH organizes transactions before validation, boosting speed. PoS relies on validators to confirm transactions and maintain security. Running a validator requires technical expertise, powerful hardware, and constant uptime — making it impractical for most users.

Instead, you can delegate SOL to a trusted validator like Everstake. This allows you to get rewards without running your own infrastructure while keeping full control of your funds. 

Now, let’s dive into how to stake SOL via Trezor Suite.
