Trezor.io/Start — Secure Hardware Wallet Setup

Begin your journey to crypto security with Trezor. Set up your hardware wallet with confidence and full control.

Welcome to Trezor Setup

Setting up your Trezor hardware wallet at Trezor.io/Start is the safest way to take full ownership of your cryptocurrency. This guide will help you connect your device, install the Trezor Suite app, and protect your digital assets using industry-leading encryption.

Trezor wallets are designed with open-source software, ensuring transparency and community trust. Your recovery seed phrase is the single key to your wallet, and keeping it safe is critical. This page provides step-by-step guidance on how to back it up securely.

Whether you're a new investor or an experienced user, Trezor offers a simple and secure way to manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other coins from one intuitive interface.

Step 1: Connect and Initialize Your Device

Start by visiting Trezor.io/Start on your browser. Connect your Trezor Model T or Trezor One using the provided USB cable. Follow on-screen instructions to install the official Trezor Suite application — available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Avoid downloading software from unofficial sites, as this may expose you to phishing or malware risks.

Once connected, the Trezor Suite will detect your device and prompt you to either create a new wallet or recover an existing one. Always verify actions directly on your Trezor screen. This ensures that no malicious script can alter your transaction data.

Step 2: Create and Backup Your Recovery Seed

The recovery seed — typically a 12, 18, or 24-word phrase — is the foundation of your wallet’s security. Write these words down on paper and store them offline, away from moisture and prying eyes. Never take photos or store them digitally. Your recovery seed can regenerate your wallet and assets even if your device is lost or damaged.

Trezor will display the words one by one on its screen. Double-check each word before confirming. Once done, keep the backup in a secure physical location such as a fireproof safe.

Step 3: Add Coins and Manage Your Portfolio

Trezor supports a wide range of assets including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Cardano (ADA), and many ERC-20 tokens. Within the Trezor Suite, you can easily send, receive, and track your portfolio performance. The clean interface makes it easy to view balances, transaction history, and network fees.

For advanced users, Trezor also integrates with third-party wallets and DeFi platforms, giving you complete flexibility while maintaining full hardware-level security.

Step 4: Security Best Practices

Always check the browser URL before entering your recovery seed — legitimate setup pages will only be found at Trezor.io/Start. Trezor devices never ask you to input your seed online. If any website or message requests it, close the page immediately.

Keep your Trezor firmware updated through the official Suite only. Regular updates protect against new vulnerabilities and improve compatibility.

Step 5: Advanced Privacy Options

For users who value privacy, Trezor offers features like passphrase wallets, Tor network support, and coin control tools. You can generate hidden wallets accessible only with a custom passphrase — an extra layer of protection if your main seed is compromised.

Enabling Tor in Trezor Suite helps hide your IP address and activity, enhancing anonymity while transacting online.
