Secure your digital assets with hardware-level protection and full control of your cryptocurrency.
Welcome to Trezor.io/Start — the official starting point for setting up your Trezor Hardware Wallet. Whether you are completely new to crypto or transitioning from a software wallet, this guide will take you through every step — from unboxing your Trezor device to making your first secure transaction.
Trezor, developed by SatoshiLabs, was the world’s first hardware wallet and remains one of the most trusted names in cryptocurrency security. Its mission is simple: to give you full ownership and protection of your digital assets while keeping the user experience seamless.
Unlike exchange wallets or browser extensions, Trezor stores your private keys offline — meaning your funds are never exposed to hackers, malware, or phishing sites. When you use Trezor, every action — from login to transaction confirmation — happens securely inside your hardware device.
Open your browser and go to the official setup page — trezor.io/start. Here you’ll find links to download Trezor Suite, the official desktop and web application that lets you manage your wallet, view balances, and send or receive coins safely.
Trezor Suite is the main hub for your crypto management. It’s a desktop and web application that integrates portfolio tracking, transaction management, and security controls — all in one clean interface. Download the correct version for your operating system from the official site, install it, and open the application once installed.
When you launch it, Trezor Suite will automatically check for your connected hardware device. If your Trezor is brand new, it will prompt you to initialize it.
Connect your Trezor to your computer using the included USB cable. The device screen will power on and display a welcome message. Follow the on-screen prompts in both the Trezor Suite and on your Trezor device.
During setup, you’ll create your wallet and receive your recovery seed phrase — a sequence of 12, 18, or 24 words. Write this phrase down carefully and store it in a safe, offline location. Never take photos or store it digitally. This seed is the ultimate backup for your entire wallet.
After the wallet is created, set a strong PIN. The PIN ensures that even if someone physically gets your device, they cannot access your crypto. For advanced protection, you can enable passphrase encryption — adding an extra layer of password security on top of the PIN.
Each time you connect your device, you’ll need to enter your PIN via the Trezor Suite’s secure keypad layout — protecting against keyloggers and screen recording malware.
Once your device is initialized, the dashboard becomes your command center. Here you can:
Trezor Suite includes a “Discreet Mode” that hides your balance from the screen. You can also enable Tor for anonymous internet routing — enhancing privacy for your crypto activities.
To receive crypto, click “Receive” in Trezor Suite and display your address. Always verify the address on your Trezor device screen — never copy it blindly. For sending funds, click “Send,” paste the recipient’s address, set the amount, and confirm the transaction on your device.
Your recovery seed is your ultimate backup. If your Trezor is lost or damaged, you can recover all your funds using the seed on a new device. Keep your recovery card in a safe, private place — ideally in a fireproof and waterproof container.
Common issues during the setup can usually be fixed easily:
Many phishing websites mimic hardware wallet setup pages. Always ensure you are on the official domain — trezor.io/start. The genuine Trezor page will always redirect to official download sources and carry the valid Trezor SSL certificate.
Security is a continuous process. Beyond setup, adopt safe habits:
Trezor.io/Start is your trusted guide to taking full control of your cryptocurrency. By following the setup steps carefully and practicing good security habits, you ensure your funds remain safe, private, and accessible only to you. Trezor empowers individuals to move away from centralized exchanges and truly own their financial freedom.
