Welcome to trezor.io/start — the official Trezor® setup and quickstart page designed to help you safely configure your Trezor hardware wallet. Follow this verified guide to download Trezor Suite, initialize your wallet, back up your recovery seed, and begin managing your digital assets securely.
1. About Trezor Hardware Wallets
Trezor is a hardware wallet developed by SatoshiLabs to provide top-level protection for your cryptocurrency. It keeps your private keys offline, ensuring that your assets remain safe from phishing attacks, keyloggers, and online threats. With Trezor, you maintain full control of your funds — no intermediaries, no compromises.
2. Getting Started at trezor.io/start
To begin your secure setup process, visit the verified page:
Always check the URL to ensure it begins with https://trezor.io. Avoid look-alike or fake sites that may attempt to steal sensitive information. This official link provides verified downloads and firmware updates.
3. Select Your Device Model
When the page loads, select your Trezor model:
- Trezor Model T — advanced touchscreen device.
- Trezor Model One — the original, easy-to-use hardware wallet.
Your choice determines the correct setup steps and firmware for your device.
4. Download and Install Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web app for managing your crypto. It’s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Go to https://suite.trezor.io.
- Download the appropriate version for your operating system.
- Install the application following on-screen prompts.
- Launch Trezor Suite and connect your Trezor via USB.
The Suite automatically detects your device and begins the guided setup process.
5. Initialize Your Wallet
When setting up a new device, follow these steps:
- Click “Create a new wallet” in Trezor Suite.
- Set a secure PIN directly on your device screen.
- Carefully record your recovery seed phrase on paper — 12, 18, or 24 words depending on the model.
- Confirm the seed phrase on your Trezor to verify accuracy.
Important: Never store your recovery phrase digitally or share it. This phrase is the only way to restore access to your funds if your Trezor is lost or damaged.
6. Restoring an Existing Wallet
If you’re restoring an existing wallet, select “Recover wallet” in Trezor Suite and follow the guided instructions. Enter your recovery seed only through the Trezor device interface — not on a computer keyboard or website.
7. Using Trezor Suite for Crypto Management
After setup, use Trezor Suite to manage your digital portfolio with confidence:
- Send and receive cryptocurrencies securely.
- Monitor balances and transaction history.
- Exchange or swap assets through integrated partners.
- Access privacy options like Tor network support.
- Track your total portfolio performance in real time.
Every transaction requires confirmation on your Trezor device, preventing unauthorized activity.
8. Keeping Firmware Updated
Regular firmware updates ensure your Trezor remains secure and compatible with the latest features. When prompted in Trezor Suite, confirm updates directly on your device — you’ll see “Verified by SatoshiLabs” displayed for authentic firmware.
9. Security Best Practices
- Use only official domains: trezor.io and suite.trezor.io.
- Keep your recovery phrase offline and secure.
- Never enter your recovery seed on a computer or website.
- Enable an optional passphrase for added protection.
- Disconnect your device when not in use.
Trezor’s open-source firmware, transparent design, and hardware isolation of private keys provide unmatched security and peace of mind.
