Welcome to trezor.io/start — your official guide to setting up and securing your Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you’re using a Trezor Model T or Trezor Model One, this page will walk you through every step to start managing your cryptocurrency safely and confidently.
Trezor is one of the most trusted names in crypto security, built by SatoshiLabs, the creator of the world’s first hardware wallet. By setting up your device through trezor.io/start, you’re taking full control of your crypto — keeping your private keys offline, protected, and accessible only to you.
Let’s begin your journey toward true financial freedom.
The world of cryptocurrency offers exciting opportunities — but also serious security risks. Online wallets, mobile apps, and exchanges can be hacked, leaving users vulnerable to loss or theft.
With Trezor, your assets are protected by hardware-level security, meaning your private keys never leave your device.
When you start with trezor.io/start, you’ll benefit from:
Offline private key storage — safe from hackers and malware.
Physical transaction verification — confirm actions directly on your device.
Open-source software — transparent and audited for maximum trust.
Compatibility with 1,500+ cryptocurrencies.
Access to Trezor Suite — your all-in-one crypto management platform.
Your crypto. Your keys. Your security.
When your new Trezor device arrives, inspect the packaging carefully before opening it.
Each Trezor Model T or Model One comes sealed with tamper-evident packaging. If you notice any signs of damage or the seal looks broken, do not use the device — contact Trezor Support immediately.
Inside your box, you’ll find:
Your Trezor hardware wallet
A USB cable
Recovery seed cards (for writing down your recovery phrase)
A Getting Started guide
Everything you need to begin your secure crypto journey.
To begin setup, connect your Trezor to your computer and open your browser.
Then go to https://trezor.io/start — the official page for device initialization.
⚠️ Important Security Tip:
Always make sure the URL is exactly trezor.io/start. Do not trust links from emails, ads, or unofficial sites — these may lead to phishing pages designed to steal your information.
Once you’re on the official page, you’ll be guided to download Trezor Suite — the official software companion to your hardware wallet.
Trezor Suite is the only official application that connects securely to your Trezor device. It’s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, as well as a web app at suite.trezor.io.
To install:
Click the download button for your operating system.
Install Trezor Suite following the on-screen instructions.
Launch the app once installation is complete.
Trezor Suite will guide you through device setup and ensure you’re using genuine, verified firmware.
⚠️ Never install software from unofficial websites or file-sharing platforms. Always download directly from trezor.io to stay safe.
Now, connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the provided USB cable.
Once connected:
Open Trezor Suite.
Choose “Create new wallet” to set up a brand-new wallet.
If you already have a wallet and recovery seed, select “Recover wallet.”
You’ll then be prompted to:
Set a PIN code — This protects access to your device.
Write down your recovery seed — A 12-, 18-, or 24-word phrase shown on your device screen.
This recovery seed is the master key to your crypto. Write it down carefully on the provided recovery card and store it securely offline — never digitally.
Trezor will never ask for your recovery phrase online. Anyone who asks for it is attempting to steal your assets.
Once your device is initialized, Trezor Suite will prompt you to install the latest firmware. Firmware is the internal software that ensures your device runs securely and supports new cryptocurrencies.
After firmware installation:
Open Trezor Suite.
Go to “Accounts” → “Add Account.”
Select your preferred cryptocurrency (Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.).
Trezor supports over 1,500 coins and tokens, including major cryptocurrencies and ERC-20 tokens.
Now that your wallet is set up, you can start sending, receiving, and managing your assets securely through Trezor Suite.
In Trezor Suite, click “Receive.”
Choose your account and generate a receiving address.
Confirm the address on your Trezor device screen.
Share it safely to receive crypto into your wallet.
Click “Send.”
Enter the recipient’s address and amount.
Confirm all details on your Trezor device screen.
Approve the transaction physically by pressing the button.
Each transaction requires your physical confirmation — no one can send crypto without your approval.
Trezor Suite isn’t just for storage — it’s a complete platform for managing your crypto.
Buy, Sell, and Exchange
Purchase crypto or swap between assets directly in Trezor Suite through trusted partners like Invity.
Portfolio Tracking
Monitor your asset performance, balances, and market trends in real time.
Privacy Mode (Tor Integration)
Activate Tor to mask your IP address for greater online privacy.
Firmware and Security Updates
Keep your device and app up to date with the latest protections.
Labeling and Account Management
Organize your accounts, label transactions, and customize your dashboard.
Open Source Security
Every line of code in Trezor Suite and firmware is open source and publicly verifiable.
To maintain maximum security, follow these best practices:
Update regularly: Always keep your Trezor Suite and firmware updated.
Backup safely: Store your recovery seed offline in a secure location.
Use a strong PIN: Protect your device with a PIN only you know.
Enable passphrase protection: Add an optional layer of encryption to your wallet.
Avoid phishing: Only interact with trezor.io and suite.trezor.io websites.
Trezor will never email or message you asking for your recovery phrase — if someone does, it’s a scam.
