Trezor.io/start — Get Started with Your Trezor Device

A clear, secure, and friendly guide to initializing and using your Trezor hardware wallet. Follow the steps below to set up, secure, and confidently manage your cryptocurrency on Trezor.io/start.

Quick Start — 7 Essential Steps

1

Unbox & Check

Open your package and verify the tamper-evident seals. Trezor.io/start recommends inspecting the device for physical tampering before connecting.

2

Connect to Trezor.io/start

Visit Trezor.io/start on a secure device. This official page will walk you through firmware checks, downloads, and the official Trezor Suite or Web setup flow.

3

Install Trezor Suite or Use Web

Choose the Trezor Suite app for a richer experience, or use the Trezor web interface. The suite will help you update firmware and manage wallets.

4

Create a New Wallet

Follow the on-screen prompts to create a new wallet. During setup you'll generate a seed phrase — write it down exactly and store it separately from your device.

5

Write Down Your Recovery Seed

Write the 12–24 word recovery seed provided by the device on the included card. This seed is your ultimate backup — never store it digitally or share it.

6

Set a PIN

Choose a strong PIN on the device to protect access. The PIN protects your seed if your device is lost or stolen.

7

Verify & Transact

Always verify receiving addresses on your Trezor’s screen before sending funds. Complete a small test transaction to confirm everything works.
