Welcome to Trezor.io/Start
Trezor.io/Start is the official guide to setting up your Trezor hardware wallet safely. Whether you are new to cryptocurrencies or already managing digital assets, this guide will help you initialize your device, protect your private keys, and start managing your crypto securely.
Trezor hardware wallets keep your private keys offline, protecting your crypto from hacks, malware, and phishing attacks. By following this guide, you ensure your assets are fully under your control.
Why Choose a Trezor Wallet?
Cryptocurrencies give you financial freedom, but they also require responsibility. Unlike traditional banks, crypto transactions cannot be reversed, and losing access to your private keys means losing your funds.
Trezor wallets provide:
Offline security – Your private keys never leave the device.
Protection from hacks – Safe from malware and phishing attacks.
Full control – You are the sole owner of your crypto.
Multi-asset support – Store thousands of coins, tokens, and NFTs.
Using a hardware wallet like Trezor reduces the risks of keeping crypto on exchanges or online wallets.
Step 1: Verify Your Device
Before starting, ensure your Trezor device is genuine and untampered:
Devices never come pre-configured.
There is no PIN or recovery seed included in the box.
Your recovery seed is generated only on the device itself.
If anything seems suspicious, contact Trezor Support before proceeding.
Step 2: Install Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official application for managing your crypto securely. With Trezor Suite, you can:
Set up and initialize your device
Install crypto apps
Send, receive, and monitor cryptocurrencies
Exchange and swap assets via trusted partners
Always download Trezor Suite from the official website to avoid fake software.
Step 3: Set Up Your Wallet
Connect your device and select “Set up as new device.” During setup, you will:
Create a PIN code for your device.
Generate a recovery seed (12 or 24 words).
Confirm your recovery seed on the device.
Security Tip: Your recovery seed is the only backup of your wallet. Write it down on paper, store it safely offline, and never share it. Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed.
Step 4: Add Crypto Accounts
Once setup is complete, you can add accounts in Trezor Suite. Supported assets include:
Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
Litecoin (LTC)
Solana (SOL)
XRP and thousands of ERC-20 tokens
All transactions require physical confirmation on your device for maximum security.
Step 5: Sending and Receiving Crypto
Receiving: Verify the address on your Trezor device and share it with the sender.
Sending: Enter the recipient’s address in Trezor Suite, check transaction details, and confirm on your device.
This manual confirmation ensures your crypto stays safe, even if your computer is compromised.
Security Best Practices
Keep your device firmware updated.
Never share your PIN or recovery seed.
Avoid phishing websites and emails.
Verify all transactions on the device.
Even if your device is lost or damaged, your crypto can be restored using your recovery seed on a new Trezor or compatible wallet.
