Ready to take full control of your cryptocurrency? Trezor is a leading hardware wallet that helps you secure your digital assets with advanced offline protection. If you’ve just purchased a Trezor device, your first step is to set it up properly — and the best way to do that is by following the official guide at Trezor.io/start.
Trezor wallets are developed by SatoshiLabs and are known for their security, transparency, and ease of use. By keeping your private keys completely offline, Trezor shields your crypto from remote attacks, viruses, and phishing attempts. Whether you're using a Trezor Model One or Model T, the setup process is simple and only takes a few minutes.
Once you have everything ready, you're prepared to get started.
Open your web browser and type in the official address: Trezor.io/start. This ensures you are using the verified source to download software and follow trusted instructions. You’ll be guided to download Trezor Suite, which is the desktop application used to manage your wallet.
Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. It allows you to send and receive crypto, view your balances, manage tokens, and update firmware. Install it and launch the application. Connect your Trezor device via USB when prompted.
Use the provided USB cable to plug your Trezor into your computer. Trezor Suite will recognize your device and guide you through the next steps, including firmware installation if it's not already installed.
A brand new Trezor will not have firmware pre-installed for security reasons. The first time you use your device, you will be prompted to install the official firmware. Confirm installation on your device screen by physically pressing the confirmation button.
After firmware installation, you will be given the option to create a new wallet. Selecting this will generate a recovery seed — a unique sequence of 12, 18, or 24 words. This is the master key to your funds, so handle it with extreme care.
Write the seed phrase on the provided card. Do not take photos of it, do not store it online, and do not share it with anyone. This phrase is your only backup if the device is lost, stolen, or damaged.
Next, you will be asked to set a PIN code for your Trezor. This code must be entered every time you use the device. Choose a PIN that is secure and easy for you to remember, but difficult for others to guess.
With your device secured, you can now add supported cryptocurrencies. Trezor supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Litecoin, ERC-20 tokens, and many others. Each currency requires its own account within Trezor Suite.
To receive crypto, generate a receiving address in Trezor Suite and verify it on your device screen. For sending crypto, enter the recipient's address, the amount, and confirm the transaction on your Trezor. No transaction is processed without your physical approval on the device.
If your Trezor is lost or stolen, your funds are still safe as long as no one knows your PIN and seed phrase. To recover your wallet, simply get a new Trezor and select “Recover wallet” during setup. Enter your recovery phrase exactly as written and your accounts will be restored.
Once your wallet is set up, you can use Trezor Suite to track your portfolio, manage tokens, use dApps, and much more. With your private keys kept offline and your recovery phrase securely stored, you have full control over your cryptocurrency — the way it should be.
Setting up your Trezor wallet via Trezor.io/start is the safest way to begin managing your digital assets. By following this official process, you ensure your device is authentic, your recovery phrase is protected, and your crypto is safe. With Trezor, you stay in control of your financial future — securely and confidently.
