Sending Bitcoin from Trezor to an external address takes about two minutes. The mistake isn't in the send — it's in which account you open before you get there.
Trezor Suite manages multiple account types under one device. Legacy, SegWit, Native SegWit. They look nearly identical in the interface. They produce very different Bitcoin addresses — and the wrong one costs more in fees on every transaction you make from it, including every entry into Bitok Arena and every add to your leaderboard position during a round.
The address prefix tells you everything. bc1q means Native SegWit. Anything else means paying more than necessary before the round even starts.
The Account Type Is the Decision
Suite shows three account formats when you open the wallet manager — Legacy, SegWit wrapped, and Native SegWit. The names are close enough that most people pick whatever appears first, or accept what the device initialized to during setup. That default is not always Native SegWit, particularly on devices that have been running for some time. And that choice follows every transaction you make from the device until you deliberately add a different account.
Legacy addresses start with 1. Wrapped SegWit addresses start with 3. Native SegWit starts with bc1q. Each transaction from a Native SegWit address is smaller — measured in virtual bytes — than the same transaction from a Legacy address. Smaller means cheaper at any fee rate the network is running.
If your Trezor currently runs from a Legacy or wrapped SegWit account, you don't need to reset the device or touch the seed phrase. Open Suite, click Add Account, and select Native SegWit. A bc1q address generates from the same seed already loaded on the hardware. That address — and every UTXO sent from it — is what the leaderboard tracks as your position in the round.
The Send — And the One Step Most People Skip
Once the Native SegWit account is open, copy the Bitok Arena master wallet address from the platform and paste it into the recipient field in Suite. Look at both ends of the transaction: your sending address and the destination both start with bc1q. That match confirms you're on the correct network, using the correct address format, before a single satoshi moves.
After entering the amount and fee, Suite asks you to confirm on the physical device. The Trezor screen shows the destination address independently — derived from the transaction data, not mirrored from the Suite display. Read it carefully, the final characters as much as the opening ones. If the address on the device matches what's in Suite, the transaction is going where it should. If anything looks different, stop before pressing confirm.
The fee question is simpler than it looks. Standard covers most situations reliably. A very low fee risks a slower confirmation — your address takes longer to appear on the leaderboard after the transaction broadcasts. If you want to know exactly where network congestion stands before sending, reading the mempool takes thirty seconds and tells you whether current conditions favor a medium or standard fee for a timely confirmation.
The address you send from is the address you add to your position from, if the round develops in a way where reinforcing makes sense. Every transaction from that bc1q address during the round combines automatically — each one a separate UTXO at the master wallet, all attributed to the same address on the leaderboard. Some competitors reuse the same Bitcoin address across rounds; others generate a fresh one each day. Within a single round, the address you chose first is the one that accumulates.
A Trezor running the wrong account type is still a hardware wallet. It just costs more to use — on every send, every round, for as long as the account stays wrong.
Open Suite. Check the sending address. If it doesn't start with bc1q, add a Native SegWit account. Paste the master wallet address into the recipient field, read both bc1q strings against each other on the device screen, set the fee to standard, and confirm on the hardware. Three network confirmations later, the address is on the leaderboard.
Every satoshi paid to miners is a satoshi that did not compete. The difference between a Legacy and a Native SegWit send is roughly 40% in fees — on every entry, every reinforcement, every round. The round is live, the top three addresses split 50% of the daily pool, and the bc1q account is ready in sixty seconds.
