- **Passphrase (Hidden Wallets):** This is Trezor's signature feature. By adding a 25th word (a passphrase) to your 12- or 24-word recovery seed, you create an entirely separate, "hidden" wallet. The seed alone cannot access these funds. This is the **ultimate safeguard** against sophisticated attacks or physical threats. πͺ
- **Tor Integration:** Trezor Suite can route all its traffic through the Tor network with a simple toggle switch. This adds a crucial layer of network-level anonymity, making your transactions harder to link to your physical location. It's security and **privacy** working in tandem. π΅οΈ
- **View-Only Mode:** You can open Trezor Suite and monitor your balances and receiving addresses without plugging in your hardware wallet. This provides peace of mind and convenience while keeping the device safely stored offline.

Why is this essential? It drastically reduces the risk of transaction interception. When you execute a swap, the transaction details are prepared in the secure Suite environment, sent to your Trezor device for **physical confirmation**, and then broadcast. Your keys never leave the device, even during complex trading operations.
