Welcome to Trezor.io/start – Secure Your Crypto Assets

Trezor.io/start is your step-by-step guide to safely setting up and using a Trezor hardware wallet. Hardware wallets store your private keys offline, protecting your cryptocurrency from hackers, malware, and phishing attacks. This guide walks you through initializing your device, recording your recovery seed, and managing your crypto assets securely.

Trezor offers a user-friendly interface for beginners and advanced security options for experienced users. By following these instructions, you maintain complete control over your funds while keeping them safe at all times.

Step 1: Connect Your Device

Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the supplied USB cable. The device powers on and displays a welcome message. Follow any prompts to allow the connection. Your private keys remain securely stored on the device at all times.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop application for managing your wallet, checking balances, and confirming transactions. Download and install it from the official website. Once launched, it will detect your device and guide you through setup.

Step 3: Create a New Wallet

In Trezor Suite, select "Create New Wallet". Your device generates private keys internally, never exposing them online. After creation, the device displays a recovery seed for backup and wallet restoration.

Step 4: Record Your Recovery Seed

The recovery seed is essential for recovering your wallet if the device is lost or damaged. Write down each word in the exact order displayed. Do not store it digitally or online. Keep it offline in a secure location and consider a secondary backup.

Write each word clearly and in order.
Keep the seed offline in a secure location.
Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
Optional: create a secondary offline backup for added security.

Step 5: Verify Firmware

Trezor Suite automatically checks your device firmware. If an update is required, follow the instructions and confirm on your device. Firmware updates ensure your wallet has the latest security protections.

Step 6: Add Cryptocurrency Accounts

Once your wallet is initialized, you can add accounts for supported cryptocurrencies. Each account displays balances, receive addresses, and transaction history. Transactions must be confirmed on both your device and Trezor Suite.

Step 7: Explore Advanced Features

Trezor offers advanced security features, including passphrase-protected wallets, hidden accounts, and customizable labels. Beginners can start with default settings, while experienced users can enhance security and privacy.

Step 8: Maintain Strong Security Practices

Always confirm transactions on your device, store your recovery seed offline, and update firmware regularly. Following these practices ensures your Trezor wallet remains secure and reliable for long-term use.

With your Trezor fully set up, you have complete control over your cryptocurrency. Using Trezor Suite, you can monitor balances, manage accounts, and perform transactions safely, knowing your assets are secure and fully under your control.
