Welcome to Trezor.io/Start — your official and secure guide to setting up your Trezor hardware wallet. Learn how to initialize your device, create backups, and keep your cryptocurrency safe from digital threats.
Trezor.io/Start is the trusted destination for every Trezor user to begin their crypto journey safely. Whether you are unboxing a new device or restoring an existing one, follow this official setup guide to ensure complete protection and confidence from the very first step.
Start by connecting your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the provided USB cable. Visit Trezor.io/Start to download the Trezor Suite app, which automatically detects and verifies your device. Authenticity checks ensure that your hardware is genuine and untampered, giving you peace of mind before you store any assets.
Download and install Trezor Suite — the official interface for managing your crypto. Available on Windows, macOS, and Linux, it lets you update firmware, create new wallets, or restore from a recovery seed. Always download only from Trezor.io to stay protected from phishing or imitation apps.
During setup, your Trezor device generates a recovery seed — a list of words that serve as your ultimate backup. Write it down on paper or use a metal backup plate and store it securely offline. Never take digital photos or store it in the cloud. Losing your recovery seed means losing access to your funds.
Once setup is complete, Trezor Suite allows you to buy, send, and receive cryptocurrencies directly through your hardware wallet. All sensitive operations happen inside the Trezor device, ensuring your private keys never leave the secure chip. This design keeps hackers and malware from ever accessing your funds.
