Trezor.io/Start is the official setup portal for Trezor hardware wallets. Whether you're a beginner or an experienced crypto user, this guide ensures a safe and smooth start with your Trezor device. Follow the steps below to set up your wallet, protect your assets, and take full control of your digital life.
Before getting started, make sure your Trezor device packaging is sealed and untampered. Inside the box, you should find:
Trezor hardware wallet (Model One or Model T)
USB cable
Recovery seed cards
Instruction manual and stickers
Inspect everything carefully before proceeding.
Open your web browser and visit . This is the official and secure site to begin the setup process. Beware of phishing sites—always verify the URL.
You’ll be prompted to download Trezor Suite, the official desktop app for managing your crypto securely. Trezor Suite offers:
Real-time portfolio tracking
Secure transaction management
Coin support including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds more
Download the app for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux), install it, and launch the program.
Using the provided USB cable, connect your Trezor wallet to your computer. Follow the on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite to:
Install the latest firmware
Create a new wallet or recover an existing one
Generate and securely write down your 12/24-word recovery seed (never share this!)
This is the most critical step. Write your recovery seed on the provided seed card and store it offline in a safe location. Anyone with access to this seed can control your crypto. Never take photos or save it digitally.
Once your device is initialized, you can begin sending, receiving, and managing your cryptocurrencies. Trezor Suite also allows you to:
Enable passphrase protection
Label accounts
Connect to third-party apps like Metamask
Regularly check for firmware updates and best security practices through the Trezor Suite or Trezor Blog. Your Trezor device gives you full sovereignty over your crypto, but with that comes responsibility.
