Welcome to Trézor.io/start – the official onboarding guide for setting up your Trezor hardware wallet.
If you’ve recently purchased a Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T, this page will help you complete the initial setup, secure your recovery seed, and begin storing, buying, and managing cryptocurrencies safely. Trezor provides industry-leading security for digital assets, ensuring you stay protected from online threats such as hacking, phishing, and malware. Getting started is easy—just follow the official steps below to activate your device and take full control of your crypto.
Why Choose Trezor Hardware Wallet?
Trezor is one of the most trusted hardware wallets in the cryptocurrency ecosystem. Unlike software wallets or exchanges that store private keys online, Trezor ensures keys remain completely offline—inside the wallet device itself. This significantly reduces the risk of unauthorized access and allows users to hold full ownership of their crypto funds.
Key benefits of Trezor include:
Offline cold-storage security
Full control of your private keys
Supports thousands of cryptocurrencies
Easy to use with Trezor Suite desktop & mobile
Advanced features such as coin control, passphrases & Shamir backup
Open-source firmware and transparent code
When you secure your crypto with Trezor, you are choosing complete financial independence.
Step-by-Step Guide to Setting Up Your Trezor Wallet
To begin using your device, visit the official website:
➡️ Go to: https://trezor.io/start
Once on the page, follow these steps:
1. Connect Your Trezor Device
Plug your Trezor Model One or Model T into your computer or mobile device using the included USB cable. Your screen should power on automatically and display a welcome message.
2. Install Trezor Suite (Official Application)
You will be prompted to download Trezor Suite, the secure software that lets you manage accounts, send/receive crypto, view balances, and update firmware.
Download officially from:
https://suite.trezor.io
Install the application and open it to continue. Never download wallet software from unofficial links — this prevents phishing and security breaches.
3. Firmware Installation
If your device is brand new, you may be asked to install the latest firmware before continuing. Simply click Install inside Trezor Suite. This ensures your wallet runs the newest security enhancements.
4. Create a New Wallet
Choose Create New Wallet, then follow the onscreen steps to begin generating your recovery seed (backup key). This is the most important part of the process.
5. Write Down Your Recovery Seed
Your Trezor will display a 12-, 18-, or 24-word recovery seed phrase. Write it down carefully using the supplied recovery card and store it in a secure place offline. Do not take pictures, store it digitally, or share it with anyone.
Your recovery seed is the master key to all cryptocurrency stored on your device. If the device is ever lost, stolen, or damaged, the recovery seed allows you to restore your funds.
6. Set a PIN and Optional Passphrase
To protect your wallet, create a secure PIN. For advanced protection, you may enable a passphrase, which adds another layer of encryption to your wallet.
Using Your Trezor Wallet
Once setup is complete, you can:
Add cryptocurrency accounts
Send or receive transactions
Track portfolio performance
Buy, sell, or exchange crypto through integrated services
Trezor Suite supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Cardano, Solana, ERC-20 tokens, and many more assets.
Security Best Practices
To keep your assets secure, follow these recommended guidelines:
🔒 Never share your recovery seed with anyone
🔒 Avoid entering your seed on any website or computer
🔒 Always use official Trezor products and software
🔒 Enable 2FA and passphrase protection when available
🔒 Purchase only from authorized sellers or trezor.io
If someone asks for your seed phrase, it is a scam.
Troubleshooting & Customer Support
If you encounter any issues such as device not recognized, firmware update loops, or suite connection problems, visit the official support resources inside Trezor Suite or contact customer service through the website.
