Trezor.io/Start | Official Getting Started Guide™

Follow this official guide from Trezor.io to set up your Trezor hardware wallet, install firmware, create a backup, and begin managing your cryptocurrencies securely.

Welcome to Trezor.io/Start

The Trezor.io/start page is the official setup guide for all Trezor hardware wallets, including Trezor Model T and Trezor One. It provides a step-by-step process to help you initialize your device, install Trezor Suite, and begin safely managing your crypto assets.

⚠️ Always visit https://trezor.io/start directly. Avoid third-party links or ads to prevent phishing.

1. Unbox and Connect Your Trezor Device

Start by unboxing your new Trezor wallet. Check the holographic seal to ensure the package has not been tampered with. Then, connect your device to your computer using the provided USB cable.

✅ Authenticity Check

Trezor devices come sealed. If the seal is broken or missing, contact Trezor support immediately before proceeding.

2. Visit the Official Setup Page

Once your device is connected, go to Trezor.io/start. This is the official platform to install the Trezor Suite application — your secure environment for managing crypto assets.

  • Click “Get Started” on the website.
  • Download and install Trezor Suite for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
  • Follow the on-screen prompts to detect and pair your Trezor device.

3. Install Trezor Firmware

When you first connect a new Trezor, you’ll be prompted to install firmware. The firmware is the secure software that allows your Trezor to function safely.

🔐 Important:

Only install firmware through the official Trezor Suite application. Never trust unofficial updates or third-party downloads.

After the firmware installation, your device will restart automatically. You’re now ready to create or recover a wallet.

4. Create or Recover Your Wallet

Once firmware is installed, choose one of the following:

  • Create New Wallet — Generates a new recovery seed (a list of 12, 18, or 24 words).
  • Recover Wallet — Restore your existing Trezor wallet using your recovery phrase.
💡 Write down your recovery phrase on the provided recovery sheet and store it in a secure offline location. Never take photos or share it online.

5. Set Up Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is your command center for managing cryptocurrencies. It provides a user-friendly interface to check balances, send/receive coins, and monitor your portfolio securely.

🌐 Key Features:

  • Supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other coins.
  • Integrates with popular exchanges and dApps.

  • Always confirm transaction details on your Trezor screen before approving.
  • Keep firmware and Trezor Suite updated regularly.
  • Store your recovery seed offline — avoid cloud storage or photos.

🔗 Integration Options:

Connect Trezor with MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, or other Web3 platforms to access DeFi and dApps securely while keeping your private keys offline.
