Welcome to Trezor Start | Set Up Your Trezor Wallet 🔐

Thank you for choosing Trezor, one of the safest and most trusted hardware wallets in the world. On this page, you’ll find everything you need to set up and start using your Trezor device. Whether you’re new to cryptocurrency or an experienced user, this step-by-step guide will help you secure your digital assets with confidence.

🚀 What Is Trezor?

Trezor is a small, physical device (hardware wallet) that stores your cryptocurrency offline. This makes it almost impossible for hackers or malware to steal your crypto.

It protects your private keys, which are the codes that allow you to access your coins. With Trezor, you are in full control of your digital money.

📦 What You Need Before You Start

Before setting up your Trezor, make sure you have the following:

  • Your Trezor device (Model One or Trezor Model T)
  • A USB cable (comes with the device)
  • A computer or smartphone with internet access
  • A pen to write down your recovery seed

🛠️ Step-by-Step: How to Set Up Your Trezor

1️⃣ Unbox Your Device

Carefully open the box and take out your Trezor. Check that the box is sealed and the hologram sticker has not been tampered with. If the seal is broken, do not use the device and contact Trezor support immediately.

2️⃣ Go to the Official Setup Page

In your browser, go to:
 👉 https://trezor.io/start

Make sure the URL is correct and secure. You’ll be directed to select your device and download Trezor Suite — the official app that manages your wallet.

3️⃣ Download Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Download and install the software on your computer.

You can also use the web version directly in your browser, but the desktop app is recommended for the best security.

4️⃣ Connect Your Device

Plug your Trezor device into your computer using the USB cable.

  • For Trezor Model One, use the buttons to navigate.
  • For Trezor Model T, use the touch screen.

Follow the instructions shown in Trezor Suite.

5️⃣ Install Firmware

If this is your first time using Trezor, you’ll need to install the firmware. This process ensures that the device is running the latest secure software.

Trezor Suite will walk you through this step. Click “Install Firmware” and let it complete.

6️⃣ Create a New Wallet

After the firmware is installed, you’ll be asked to create a new wallet. Click “Create New Wallet” and confirm on your device.

7️⃣ Backup Your Recovery Seed

This is the most important step.

  • Trezor will show you a list of 12 or 24 words.
  • This is your recovery seed – a backup that can recover your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.
  • Write it down on paper and keep it in a very safe place. Do not store it on your phone or computer.

Never share this seed with anyone. If someone has your seed, they can steal your crypto.

8️⃣ Set Up a PIN

Next, you’ll create a PIN code to protect your Trezor. This PIN must be entered every time you connect your device.

Choose a PIN that is hard to guess, but easy for you to remember.

9️⃣ Your Wallet Is Ready! 🎉

Once your recovery seed and PIN are set, your Trezor is ready to use.

In the Trezor Suite app, you can now:

  • View your crypto balances
  • Send and receive coins
  • Add different cryptocurrencies
  • Manage tokens and networks
  • Enable advanced security options

🔐 Security Tips

Your crypto is only as safe as your habits. Here are important tips:

  • Never share your PIN or recovery seed
  • Always use the official Trezor software
  • Use a strong, secure computer password
  • Keep your recovery seed offline and private
  • Enable features like passphrase protection for added security

📱 Using Trezor With Mobile Devices

Trezor is mainly designed to work with computers, but Trezor Model T also supports Android phones via USB-C or OTG cables.

You can use mobile wallets like Mycelium or Exodus that support hardware wallets.

🧠 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

❓ What if I lose my Trezor device?

If you have your recovery seed, you can restore your wallet on a new Trezor device or compatible wallet.

❓ Do I need internet to use Trezor?

You need internet access for Trezor Suite to send or receive transactions, but your keys are never exposed online.
