Welcome to your new era of crypto security. Follow this step-by-step guide to set up your Trezor wallet and take full control of your digital assets. Visit Trezor.io/start to begin securely.
Start SetupTrezor is a trusted name in the world of cryptocurrency security. As one of the first hardware wallets ever created, it provides unmatched protection for your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other digital assets. Unlike software wallets that depend on internet connections, Trezor stores your private keys offline—making them virtually immune to hacks and malware attacks. With transparent open-source code and robust design, it’s built for those who value safety, privacy, and independence in the crypto space.
Open your Trezor package and ensure the security seal is intact. Inside, you’ll find your device, a USB cable, and a recovery seed card. Never use a pre-filled recovery card—if it’s not blank, contact support immediately. The authenticity of your device is essential for your safety.
Go to trezor.io/start and download Trezor Suite for your operating system. Connect your device using the cable and follow on-screen instructions. The Suite helps manage coins, update firmware, and access features like market charts and exchange integrations—all in one place.
During setup, select “Create new wallet.” Your device will generate a unique recovery seed—a list of 12, 18, or 24 words. Write it down carefully on the recovery card. This seed is your backup key. Store it offline, never photograph or upload it anywhere.
The Trezor device will ask you to confirm your recovery words in random order. This ensures that only you know the seed. Treat this as the foundation of your crypto ownership—without it, your wallet cannot be restored if lost or damaged.
Set a strong PIN code on your device. The PIN protects access to your wallet in case of physical theft. Each incorrect entry doubles the waiting time, making brute-force attacks practically impossible.
Always install official firmware updates via Trezor Suite. Updates include security enhancements and new coin support. Avoid third-party software or unofficial firmware files to maintain the integrity of your device.
After setup, open Trezor Suite and choose “Receive.” Verify the address shown on your Trezor device matches the one on screen before accepting any crypto. Once confirmed, share your address with senders and monitor transactions in real-time.
To send assets, choose “Send” in Trezor Suite. Always confirm transaction details on your device screen, not just your computer. Trezor ensures no malware can alter your transaction before confirmation.
Tip: Back up your recovery seed in two or more secure locations. Consider using a metal backup device for fireproof protection. Remember, Trezor never stores or recovers your seed—you are the sole owner of your digital keys.
Beyond standard storage, Trezor Suite enables advanced options like coin labeling, Tor connectivity for privacy, and direct exchange between cryptocurrencies. Power users can also enable passphrase encryption for extra layers of security. Each passphrase creates a hidden wallet accessible only to those who know it.
Trezor is built on open-source technology. This means every line of code is verifiable, ensuring no backdoors or vulnerabilities are hidden. Privacy isn’t an option—it’s the default. The Suite collects no personal data, and your keys never leave your device.
Trezor devices are built with secure microcontrollers and hardware-encrypted chips. Each action—from signing transactions to viewing addresses—requires your physical confirmation. This “cold” isolation from the internet gives peace of mind unmatched by software wallets.
