Trezor.io/Start® | Starting™ Up Your Device

Secure. Simple. Smart — Your Journey Begins Here.

1. Introduction

Welcome to your complete setup guide for the Trezor hardware wallet. This guide will help you understand how to begin using your Trezor securely and efficiently.

2. What is Trezor?

Trezor is a hardware wallet designed to keep your cryptocurrencies safe. It protects your private keys in an isolated environment, ensuring that your digital assets remain secure even if your computer is compromised.

3. Getting Started

To begin, visit Trezor.io/Start. Connect your Trezor device to your computer via USB and follow the on-screen instructions. You’ll be prompted to install Trezor Suite — the official interface for managing your crypto assets.

4. Device Setup and Security

During setup, you’ll create a PIN and generate a recovery seed. These steps are critical for security. Your recovery seed must be written down on paper and kept offline — it’s your only backup if the device is lost or damaged.

5. Backing Up Your Wallet

Backup is the cornerstone of digital asset protection. The 12–24-word seed phrase generated during setup must never be stored digitally. This ensures that no hacker can access your wallet remotely.

6. Using Trezor Suite

The Trezor Suite desktop and web app allows you to check balances, send and receive funds, and manage accounts. You can customize your settings, connect third-party wallets, and explore advanced features safely.

7. Troubleshooting and Tips

If you experience any issues, always verify that you’re on the official Trezor domain: https://trezor.io. Never share your seed or private keys with anyone — Trezor Support will never ask for them.

8. Conclusion

Your Trezor device gives you full control and peace of mind. By following these steps carefully, you can safely store, send, and receive your crypto assets knowing your keys are secure.
