Welcome to Trezor.io/Start, the official setup page for your Trezor hardware wallet. This is the only place you need to begin your crypto-security journey. Whether you’re new to cryptocurrencies or a seasoned investor, Trezor ensures your assets remain safe, private, and under your complete control.
Setting up your Trezor is fast and easy. Follow this simple guide to protect your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other digital assets with world-class security.
The Trezor hardware wallet is built to protect your cryptocurrency from hackers, phishing attacks, and online vulnerabilities. Unlike online wallets or exchanges, Trezor keeps your private keys offline — safe inside your device — making it impossible for anyone else to access them remotely.
🔒 Offline Security: Private keys never leave your device.
🌍 Full Ownership: You control your crypto — no banks, no intermediaries.
🛡️ Open-Source Technology: All code is transparent and publicly verified.
⚡ Easy Setup: Get started in minutes using Trezor Suite.
💰 Multi-Asset Support: Manage 8,000+ coins and tokens securely.
When you start at Trezor.io/Start, you can be sure you’re setting up your wallet safely and correctly.
Always begin at the official Trezor website:
👉 https://trezor.io/start
This is critical for your security. Fake websites can trick users into revealing their recovery seed or downloading malicious software. Bookmark the official link to use it safely every time.
Once on the page, select your device — Trezor Safe 3, Model T, or Model One — and follow the on-screen setup guide.
Trezor Suite is your command center for managing crypto safely. It’s available as a desktop app for Windows, macOS, and Linux, or as a web app via supported browsers.
Click the Download Trezor Suite button.
Choose your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
Follow the installation instructions.
When you open Trezor Suite, connect your Trezor device via USB. You’ll see a prompt guiding you through each step.
Trezor Suite allows you to:
Check balances and portfolio performance.
Send, receive, and swap cryptocurrencies.
Buy Bitcoin directly.
Manage multiple accounts securely.
Plug in your Trezor hardware wallet using the provided USB cable.
Your Trezor’s screen will display the Trezor logo — confirming it’s authentic and ready for setup.
If prompted, install the latest firmware. Firmware updates enhance device security and performance. Once updated, your Trezor will restart automatically.
⚠️ Tip: Only install firmware through Trezor Suite or Trezor.io. Never trust random download links or emails.
When prompted in Trezor Suite, select “Create new wallet.”
Your Trezor will now generate a unique recovery seed phrase — this is the master key to your crypto wallet. It’s the most important step of the entire setup.
Your recovery seed is a sequence of 12, 18, or 24 words that serves as your wallet backup. Write them down carefully on the recovery card provided in your Trezor box.
Write the words exactly as they appear, in the correct order.
Store the card in a safe, offline location.
Never take photos, screenshots, or digital copies.
Never share your recovery seed with anyone — not even Trezor Support.
If your Trezor is lost or damaged, you can restore your funds on a new Trezor using this seed.
Next, you’ll set a PIN code to secure access to your Trezor device.
This PIN must be entered each time you connect your Trezor.
Choose a PIN that’s hard to guess but easy for you to remember.
If someone tries to guess it incorrectly multiple times, your Trezor will automatically wipe itself to protect your funds.
Once your device is initialized, you’ll see the Trezor Suite dashboard. This is your secure control hub where you can manage all crypto assets in one place.
View your portfolio balance and transaction history.
Send and receive Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
Buy, exchange, and track assets securely.
Integrate with third-party wallets like MetaMask or Exodus safely through Trezor.
Every action you take will need to be confirmed on your Trezor device’s screen — ensuring nothing happens without your physical approval.
Trezor supports thousands of cryptocurrencies, including:
Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH) and all ERC-20 tokens
Litecoin (LTC)
Dogecoin (DOGE)
Cardano (ADA)
Solana (SOL)
USDT, USDC, BNB, and more
In Trezor Suite, simply click “Add Account” to manage additional coins.
You can monitor balances, transaction histories, and asset performance all from one place.
Once your wallet is set up, take a few extra steps to maximize protection:
🔐 Enable Passphrase Protection: Add an extra layer of encryption to your wallet.
🧱 Use Hidden Wallets: Create secondary wallets secured with custom passphrases.
🧩 Verify Authenticity: Confirm your Trezor’s authenticity during setup — it’s built into Trezor Suite.
⏫ Keep Firmware Updated: Regular updates maintain top-level protection.
🔒 Avoid Phishing Sites: Always check that the URL begins with https://trezor.io.
With these measures, your wallet will be virtually impenetrable.
Once everything is ready, you can begin sending and receiving crypto directly from your Trezor Suite dashboard.
Every time you make a transaction, Trezor will display the full details on your device’s screen.
You must confirm each action physically, preventing unauthorized transactions even if your computer is compromised.
Trezor wallets aren’t just about storage — they’re built for advanced crypto management.
With Trezor, you can:
Buy and sell crypto directly within Suite using trusted partners.
Exchange coins safely without leaving your wallet.
Connect to DeFi apps and Web3 wallets (like MetaMask) using your Trezor as a secure key manager.
Export public keys for portfolio tracking apps.
All while keeping your private keys safe and offline.
If you encounter any setup issues, don’t worry — help is available.
Visit the Trezor Support Center at https://trezor.io/support.
There you’ll find step-by-step guides, firmware update help, and verified contact options.
⚠️ Reminder: Trezor Support will never ask for your recovery seed.
If anyone does, it’s a scam.
Before entering any sensitive information, always double-check that you’re on the official Trezor site:
