Trezor.io/Start – Official Setup Guide for Trezor Wallet

Trezor.io/Start is the official portal for setting up your Trezor hardware wallet. It provides a secure way to initialize your device, update firmware, and install Trezor Suite — the desktop and web application for managing cryptocurrencies safely.

Getting Started with Your Trezor

• Select your device model (Trezor Model T or Trezor One).
• Install the latest version of Trezor Suite on your computer.
• Connect your Trezor device using a USB cable.
• Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup and firmware installation.

Installing Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official software interface for managing your crypto assets. It allows you to send, receive, trade, and track cryptocurrencies securely while your private keys remain stored on your Trezor device.

• Download Trezor Suite for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
• Install and open the app on your desktop.

Creating and Securing Your Recovery Seed

During setup, Trezor will generate a 12-, 18-, or 24-word recovery seed. This is your master backup to restore access to your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.

• Write down the seed words on the recovery card provided.
• Never take a photo or store it online.
• Keep it in a safe, private location.
