Step-by-Step Setup Guide at TréZor.io/Start

1. Unboxing and Connecting Your Device

Inside your Trezor box, you will find:

  • Trezor hardware wallet (Model One or Model T)

  • USB cable

  • Recovery seed cards

  • Quick start guide

Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable. As soon as it powers on, follow the instructions onscreen directing you to visit TréZor.io/Start.

2. Download and Install Trezor Suite

At the start page, you will be guided to download Trezor Suite, the official desktop application for managing your wallet. Trezor Suite provides complete control over your crypto portfolio, allowing you to send, receive, track, and secure assets in one protected environment.

Compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux, Trezor Suite is designed for maximum safety, with built-in anti-phishing warnings, encrypted communication, and privacy-focused tools.

3. Install or Update Firmware

When connecting your device for the first time, you will be prompted to install the latest firmware. Firmware is crucial—it ensures your Trezor has the most current security and software updates.

Trezor Suite will guide you through:

  • Verifying the authenticity of your device

  • Installing firmware safely

  • Rebooting and confirming installation

Only perform firmware installation through official Trezor software.

4. Create Your New Wallet

Once firmware installation completes, choose “Create New Wallet.” Your Trezor will generate a recovery seed—a 12- or 24-word backup phrase that acts as your ultimate access key.

Write these words down carefully on the provided recovery cards.

Important:

  • Never store your recovery phrase online.

  • Never take a photo or screenshot of it.

  • Never share it with anyone—not even Trezor support.

  • Keep it offline in multiple safe locations.

Your recovery seed = your crypto. Protect it with your life.

5. Set Up Your PIN

Next, create a PIN for your device. This PIN protects your Trezor from unauthorized physical access. Use a number sequence that is difficult to guess, and confirm it directly on your device screen.

6. Add Cryptocurrency Accounts

With your wallet fully initialized, you can start adding accounts for:

  • Bitcoin

  • Ethereum

  • Litecoin

  • Cardano

  • Solana

  • ERC-20 tokens

  • And many more

Trezor Suite will sync with the blockchain to display accurate balances and transactions.

7. Begin Secure Crypto Management

Once your setup is complete, you can:

  • Send and receive cryptocurrencies

  • Track portfolio performance

  • Use Trezor with Web3 wallets

  • Interact with decentralized applications

  • Securely sign transactions

  • Manage NFTs for supported blockchains

  • Enable optional passphrase protection

  • Configure privacy settings such as Tor and coin-control

Every action is protected by Trezor’s hardware-level security.

Security Tips for Continued Protection

  • Always verify transaction details on your Trezor screen before confirming.

  • Keep your recovery seed stored safely offline.

  • Regularly update Trezor Suite and device firmware.

  • Avoid untrusted devices, USB ports, or public computers.

  • Never enter your recovery phrase on any website or app.
