If you’ve just purchased a Trezor hardware wallet, your journey to safer crypto storage begins at Trezor.io/start. This is the official setup page created by Trezor to help you initialize your device, install the correct software, and protect your digital assets from online threats.

Whether you own the Trezor Model One or the Trezor Model T, the setup process is straightforward and designed with security as the top priority.

Why Start at Trezor.io/start?

When dealing with cryptocurrency, security is everything. Trezor.io/start ensures:

✅ You download the official Trezor Suite software
✅ Your device firmware is verified and authentic
✅ You create a secure recovery seed
✅ You avoid phishing websites and malicious downloads

Always double-check that you’re visiting the correct website before entering any information.

Step-by-Step Setup Guide

1. Unbox and Inspect Your Device

Make sure the packaging is sealed and untampered. Trezor devices are shipped without pre-installed recovery seeds. If your device already contains a seed phrase, do not use it.

2. Connect to Your Computer

Plug your Trezor device into your computer using the provided USB cable. Then go to Trezor.io/start to begin the guided installation.

3. Install Trezor Suite

Download and install Trezor Suite, the official desktop and browser application that allows you to:

Manage cryptocurrencies
Send and receive funds
Monitor your portfolio
Adjust security settings

Follow the on-screen instructions to install firmware if prompted.

4. Create a New Wallet

Choose “Create new wallet” and generate your recovery seed phrase. This 12- or 24-word phrase is the only backup of your wallet.

Important:

Write your seed phrase on paper.
Never take photos of it.
Never store it online.
Never share it with anyone.

5. Set a PIN Code

Create a strong PIN to prevent unauthorized physical access to your device.

Security Best Practices

Always verify transactions on your device screen.
Enable passphrase protection for advanced security.
Keep your recovery seed offline and secure.
Only download updates from official Trezor sources.

Supported Cryptocurrencies

Trezor hardware wallets support thousands of digital assets including:

Bitcoin (BTC)
Ethereum (ETH)
Litecoin (LTC)
ERC-20 tokens
And many more

Trezor Suite allows you to manage multiple accounts in one secure interface.
