Welcome to Trezor.io/Start, the official starting point for setting up your Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you are new to cryptocurrency or an experienced investor, this is where your journey to full crypto security begins.
Trezor is more than just a hardware wallet — it’s your all-in-one security solution for safely storing, managing, and using your digital assets with complete confidence. Follow this step-by-step guide to set up your Trezor device, protect your crypto holdings, and take full control of your financial freedom.
Your digital assets deserve the highest level of protection. Trezor was built with security, transparency, and simplicity in mind. Here’s why millions of users worldwide trust Trezor:
🔒 Uncompromised Security: Trezor stores your private keys offline, out of reach from hackers and phishing attacks.
🌍 Full Ownership: Only you control your crypto — no intermediaries, no third parties.
🛡️ Open-Source Technology: Trezor’s code is fully open-source and publicly verifiable.
⚡ Easy-to-Use Interface: Set up your wallet in minutes with Trezor Suite, available on desktop, web, and mobile.
💰 Wide Asset Support: Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, and 8,000+ other tokens.
Before you begin the setup process, make sure you have the following:
Your Trezor hardware wallet (Trezor Model One or Trezor Safe 3 / Model T).
A computer or smartphone with an internet connection.
A USB cable (included in your Trezor box).
A pen and your recovery seed card (to write down your backup phrase).
Once you have everything ready, you can begin setting up your Trezor safely and easily.
Always make sure you are visiting the official website: https://trezor.io/start.
This ensures you’re downloading software directly from Trezor’s verified source and not a phishing site. Bookmark the link for future access.
Once you’re on the page, select your Trezor model — Trezor Model One or Trezor Safe 3 / Model T — and follow the guided setup instructions.
Trezor Suite is your control center for managing your crypto safely. It’s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, or you can use the Trezor Suite Web version.
Click the download button for your operating system.
Open the downloaded file and follow the installation prompts.
Launch Trezor Suite once installed.
Always ensure you download from the official site — never from unofficial links or ads.
Using the USB cable, connect your Trezor to your computer.
Your screen will light up, and the Trezor logo will appear. Follow the on-screen prompts to begin the initialization process.
You may be prompted to install the latest firmware update. This is an essential step to ensure your device is running the most secure and up-to-date software. Once the firmware installation is complete, your device will restart automatically.
When your Trezor restarts, you’ll have two options:
Create a new wallet: Start fresh with a brand-new recovery seed.
Recover a wallet: Restore an existing wallet using your 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed.
If you’re setting up a new wallet, Trezor will generate a unique recovery seed phrase (your master backup).
This is the most important part of your setup.
Trezor will display a list of 12, 18, or 24 words — your recovery seed. Write these words carefully on the provided recovery card, in the exact order shown, and keep it in a safe, offline location.
⚠️ Never share your recovery seed with anyone.
⚠️ Never type it into your computer or phone.
⚠️ Do not take a photo or screenshot of it.
Your recovery seed is the only way to restore your wallet if your Trezor is lost, damaged, or stolen.
Next, you’ll set a secure PIN code for your Trezor. This adds another layer of protection in case someone gets physical access to your device.
Choose a PIN that’s easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.
You’ll enter it every time you connect your device to Trezor Suite.
Once your setup is complete, you’ll enter the Trezor Suite dashboard.
Here you can:
View and manage your crypto portfolio.
Send and receive cryptocurrencies.
Track transaction history.
Buy, sell, and exchange coins directly within the Suite.
Connect to third-party apps like MetaMask or DeFi platforms securely.
All actions are verified through your hardware wallet, ensuring that no transaction leaves your device without your explicit confirmation.
Trezor Suite supports thousands of assets, including:
Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH) and ERC-20 tokens
Litecoin (LTC)
Dogecoin (DOGE)
Cardano (ADA)
Solana (SOL)
And many more
You can easily add new accounts and track your balances from one intuitive dashboard.
To maximize your wallet’s security, consider these additional steps:
Enable Passphrase Protection: Adds an extra layer of encryption.
Use Hidden Wallets: Create additional wallets protected by unique passphrases.
Keep Firmware Updated: Regular updates ensure top security performance.
Check Device Authenticity: Confirm your Trezor’s authenticity during setup through Trezor Suite.
Trezor is not just about storage — it’s a full crypto management suite.
With Trezor, you can:
Exchange crypto directly within Trezor Suite.
Buy Bitcoin or Ethereum using your debit or credit card.
Use Trezor with MetaMask for safer DeFi interactions.
Track your portfolio with live charts and market insights.
Whether you’re HODLing for the long term or trading actively, Trezor gives you both convenience and peace of mind.
