Welcome to Trezor.io/start, the official and secure starting point for setting up your Trezor® hardware wallet. This guide walks you step by step through the process of initializing your device, securing your digital assets, and understanding the principles behind safe self-custody. Whether you are new to cryptocurrency or an experienced user, Trezor is designed to give you full control over your funds—without compromise.

Why Choose Trezor®?

Trezor is one of the world’s first and most trusted hardware wallets. Unlike software wallets or exchanges, Trezor keeps your private keys offline, protecting them from malware, phishing attacks, and unauthorized access.

With Trezor, you benefit from:

  • Offline key storage (cold storage security)
  • Open-source firmware and transparent design
  • Support for a wide range of cryptocurrencies
  • Full control—you own your keys, you own your crypto

Step 1: Go to Trezor.io/start

Always begin by navigating directly to Trezor.io/start using a trusted browser. Bookmark the page to avoid phishing websites that imitate official wallet setup pages.

On this page, you will:

  • Choose your Trezor model (such as Trezor Model One or Model T)
  • Be guided to install Trezor Suite, the official desktop or web application
  • Verify your device authenticity

Step 2: Connect and Verify Your Device

Plug your Trezor into your computer or supported mobile device using the supplied cable. Trezor Suite will detect your device and prompt you to verify that it is genuine.

This verification step ensures:

  • The device firmware is authentic
  • The device has not been tampered with
  • You are starting from a secure state

Step 3: Install Firmware

If your Trezor is new, you will be prompted to install the latest official firmware. Firmware updates are signed and verified to prevent unauthorized modifications.

Important:
Only install firmware through Trezor Suite or Trezor.io/start. Never download firmware from third-party websites.

Once installed, your device will restart and be ready for wallet creation.

Step 4: Create a New Wallet

After firmware installation, choose Create New Wallet. Your Trezor will generate a recovery seed—a list of 12, 18, or 24 words depending on your chosen security level.

These words are the master key to your wallet.

Critical Rules for Recovery Seeds:

  • Write the words down offline
  • Never take photos or screenshots
  • Never store them digitally
  • Never share them with anyone

Animation Section: “Seed Phrase Protection”

Step 5: Confirm and Secure Your Recovery Seed

Your Trezor will ask you to confirm the recovery seed by selecting words in the correct order. This ensures you have recorded it correctly.

You may also:

  • Add a PIN code to protect physical access
  • Enable an optional passphrase for advanced security

These layers protect your wallet even if your device is lost or stolen.

Step 6: Access Trezor Suite

Once setup is complete, you can manage your crypto using Trezor Suite, which allows you to:

  • Send and receive cryptocurrencies
  • Track portfolio balances
  • Exchange assets (via integrated third-party services)
  • Manage multiple accounts securely

All sensitive actions must be confirmed on the Trezor device itself, preventing remote attacks.

Supported Cryptocurrencies

Trezor supports hundreds of coins and tokens, including:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Litecoin (LTC)
  • Cardano (ADA)
  • ERC-20 tokens and more

Support may vary by model and firmware version.

Animation Section: “Secure Transactions”

Animation description:
A transaction request appears on a computer screen but pauses. The Trezor device lights up, displays the transaction details, and only proceeds after physical confirmation.

Best Security Practices

To maximize your safety:

  • Always verify addresses on your Trezor screen
  • Keep your recovery seed in a secure physical location
  • Beware of phishing emails and fake support messages
  • Never enter your seed phrase on a website or computer

Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed online.
