Getting Started with Trezor at trezor.io/start

Trezor hardware wallets are among the most secure ways to store your cryptocurrency. To begin setting up your Trezor device, visit trezor.io/start, the official onboarding page for all Trezor wallets, including Trezor Model One and Trezor Model T.

Step 1: Unbox Your Trezor

Ensure your device comes in tamper-evident packaging. If the seal looks broken or suspicious, do not use the device and contact Trezor support.

Step 2: Go to trezor.io/start

Using a secure computer and browser, navigate to trezor.io/start. This page will detect your device model and direct you to the correct setup procedure. It also offers links to download necessary software like Trezor Suite.

Step 3: Download Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop app used to manage your crypto, install firmware, and verify addresses. Download it for Windows, macOS, or Linux, depending on your operating system.

Step 4: Connect and Install Firmware

Connect your Trezor to your computer using the provided USB cable. Most devices ship without firmware for security reasons. Trezor Suite will prompt you to install the latest firmware securely.

Step 5: Create a New Wallet or Recover

Once firmware is installed:

• Create new wallet: Follow the steps to generate a 12- or 24-word recovery seed phrase.
• Recover wallet: Enter your existing seed if you're restoring a previously used wallet.

Important: Write your seed phrase down on paper and store it in a safe offline location. Never take a photo or store it digitally.

Step 6: Pin Setup and Label

Set up a PIN to protect your wallet from unauthorized access. You can also assign a custom name to your Trezor device for easy identification.

Step 7: Start Managing Your Crypto

Now you’re ready to use Trezor Suite to send, receive, and manage cryptocurrencies securely. The app allows you to track balances, generate receive addresses, and sign transactions securely using your device.
