How to Use a Trezor with Monero on iPhone (2026)

Use a Trezor Safe 7 with Monero on iPhone: pair it with Monero One over Bluetooth, then receive XMR and sign each send on the Trezor.

By , founder of Monero One

Can you use a Trezor with Monero on an iPhone? Yes, with a Trezor Safe 7 and a wallet app that pairs over Bluetooth. This guide shows each step in Monero One for iPhone, from pairing to your first send.

We make Monero One. Cake Wallet also pairs a Trezor Safe 7 on iPhone, and Trezor's own Monero page lists it. We note the places where Cake does more.

What You Need

  • A Trezor Safe 7. Trezor says that "On iPhone, only Bluetooth connections are supported." The Safe 7 is "the first Trezor hardware wallet with Bluetooth."
  • The Universal firmware on the Trezor. Trezor says that "Bitcoin-only firmware means Bitcoin only." Its Safe 7 setup guide calls the other choice Standard.
  • An iPhone with iOS 17 or later. Keep Bluetooth on.
  • Monero One 1.0.9 or later from the App Store.
  • Your Trezor backup words, kept offline. You never type them into Monero One.

How a Trezor Works with Monero One

Your Monero keys stay on the Trezor. During pairing, Monero One reads two things from the device: your primary address and your private view key. With those, the app scans the blockchain on your iPhone and shows payments that come in, even while the Trezor is off.

To send, you connect the Trezor. It signs the transaction after you check it and confirm it on the Trezor screen. Your spend key stays on the device.

The private view key stays on your iPhone, behind your Monero One PIN. The Monero project says a view key shows "every incoming transaction for that address." So keep your phone locked.

Step 1: Set Up Your Trezor

Set up the Trezor in Trezor Suite. Install the Universal firmware, write down the wallet backup, and set a PIN on the device.

Expect Trezor Suite to leave Monero out. Trezor says that "Trezor Suite doesn't support Monero." You use a third-party app, such as Monero One, for your XMR.

Step 2: Open Connect Trezor in Monero One

New to Monero One? Open the app and tap Connect Trezor on the welcome screen.

Already use Monero One? Tap your wallet's name at the top of the Wallet tab. Then tap Add Wallet and Connect Trezor.

The first time, iOS asks to let Monero One use Bluetooth. Allow it, so the app can talk to your Trezor.

Step 3: Pick Your Trezor and Type the Pairing Code

Unlock your Trezor and make sure Bluetooth is on. Monero One shows Searching for Trezor, then lists the Trezors it finds. Tap yours.

The app sets up an encrypted channel. Then it asks for a code. Type the 6-digit code shown on the Trezor screen.

This pairing uses the Trezor Host Protocol (THP). Trezor calls THP an "open-source security layer" that keeps traffic between the Trezor and an app "secure, authenticated, and fully encrypted."

Step 4: Confirm the Key Export on Your Trezor

Monero One shows Exporting your view key. Confirm the prompt on your Trezor when it appears. The app receives your address and private view key, and the spend key stays on the Trezor.

Step 5: Set the Wallet Creation Date

Monero One asks: When was the Trezor wallet created? The app starts its scan at that date. An accurate date speeds up scanning.

Pick a day before the first Monero payment to this Trezor. A late date skips your early payments. An early date finds them all and only adds scan time.

Unsure of the date? Turn off I know the creation date. The app then scans from the first block, which takes the longest.

Step 6: Set a PIN and Name the Wallet

If this is your first wallet in Monero One, set a PIN. The app explains that hardware wallets "still need a local PIN so nobody can open the watch view without it."

Pick an emoji and a name, then tap Pair Trezor. The wallet opens and starts its first scan.

How to Receive Monero

Open Receive and share your address. Today, Monero One shows the receive address on your iPhone only. Payments show up after the app scans the blockchain. The Trezor can stay in a drawer.

How to Send Monero with Your Trezor

  1. Tap Send. Enter the address and the amount, check the review screen, and tap Send.
  2. The Sign with Trezor sheet opens. Unlock your Trezor and keep Bluetooth on. If the app asks, type the 6-digit code from the Trezor again.
  3. Confirm the prompts on your Trezor as they appear. Each session also syncs the device wallet. Monero One notes that "First-time sync can take a few minutes."
  4. Confirm the key-image sync prompt on the Trezor. This step lets the app find your past sends. After a recent sync, the app can skip it.
  5. Check the address and the amount on the Trezor screen. If they match, confirm on the Trezor.
  6. Monero One broadcasts the transaction and shows Done.

Trust the Trezor screen over the phone screen. The Trezor shows what it signs.

Keep Sent Transactions Up to Date

A view key shows only payments that come in. Payments that go out need the Trezor. Until you sync, the balance card says Outgoing transactions may be out of date.

To update the list, tap Sync Sent Transactions on the balance card. Unlock the Trezor and confirm its prompt. The Trezor label on the card turns green and shows Live while the Trezor is connected.

Limits to Know

  • One Trezor model. Monero One pairs a Trezor Safe 7. For a Safe 5, Safe 3 or Model T, use Feather or the Monero GUI on a computer, or Cake Wallet on Android.
  • iPhone only. Trezor pairing is in Monero One for iPhone.
  • Trezor only. For a Ledger on iPhone, use Cake Wallet. It pairs a Ledger over Bluetooth.
  • The standard wallet only. Monero One opens the standard wallet on your Trezor, with an empty passphrase. A wallet behind a Trezor passphrase stays hidden from it. Cake Wallet can open a passphrase wallet.

Keep Your Trezor Backup Offline

Your Trezor shows its backup words when you set it up. By default, Trezor Suite recommends a backup of 20 words. Write them on paper or metal, and keep them offline.

Trezor says: "Never enter your backup anywhere other than directly on your Trezor device." Monero One never asks for these words. Never type them into a phone, a website, a chat or a support ticket. Anyone who asks for them wants your funds.

Your Monero stays on the blockchain. The backup restores the Trezor itself. If the Trezor breaks or gets lost, restore the backup on a new Trezor, then pair it with Monero One again.
