Welcome to trezor.io/start, your official starting point for setting up a Trezor hardware wallet and taking full control of your digital assets. Whether you’re just beginning your crypto journey or are a seasoned investor, this guide will help you secure your crypto safely and efficiently.

In the rapidly evolving world of cryptocurrencies, ownership goes beyond simply holding coins in an exchange account. True ownership means controlling your private keys—the digital keys to your crypto kingdom. Trezor hardware wallets are built to protect these keys with industry-leading security while keeping the user experience simple and intuitive.

Why Trezor?

Trezor is trusted globally for providing secure, offline storage for cryptocurrencies. Unlike software wallets or centralized exchanges, Trezor stores your private keys in a secure, offline environment. This keeps your assets safe from malware, phishing attacks, and hacking attempts.

With a Trezor wallet, you are the only person who can access your crypto. You remain in full control of your funds at all times. No third-party storage, no compromises.

What You’ll Need to Get Started

Before beginning the setup, make sure you have:

• Your Trezor hardware wallet (Trezor Model One or Model T)
• A computer or smartphone with an internet connection
• A USB cable for connecting your device (Model T may also support wireless options)
• A few uninterrupted minutes for secure setup

Always start your setup at trezor.io/start to ensure you are using official software and instructions.

Step 1: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official app for managing your crypto with your Trezor wallet. Through Trezor Suite, you can:

• Initialize your Trezor device
• Install and manage crypto wallets
• Send and receive assets securely
• Buy, sell, and exchange supported cryptocurrencies
• Monitor your portfolio in real time

Download Trezor Suite only from trezor.io/start to avoid counterfeit apps or malware.

Step 2: Set Up Your Trezor Device

Once Trezor Suite is installed, connect your device and follow the guided setup:

1. Choose to initialize your device as new
2. Create a secure PIN to prevent unauthorized access
3. Generate your recovery seed (usually 12, 18, or 24 words depending on model)

Your recovery seed is the most critical part of your setup. It acts as the backup of your entire wallet. If your device is lost, stolen, or damaged, you can restore your crypto using this seed.

Important: Write your recovery seed down and store it in a safe, offline location. Never share it with anyone. Trezor will never ask for it.

Step 3: Add and Manage Crypto Accounts

After setup, Trezor allows you to manage multiple cryptocurrency accounts safely. Supported cryptocurrencies include Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other coins and tokens.

To add accounts:

1. Open Trezor Suite
2. Install the app for your preferred cryptocurrency
3. Create an account and start managing your assets securely

All transaction approvals occur on your device, meaning your private keys never leave your Trezor wallet.

Step 4: Securely Transact and Grow Your Assets

Trezor isn’t just a storage device—it’s a complete tool for managing your crypto safely. Through Trezor Suite, you can:

• Send and receive crypto with confidence
• Exchange between supported cryptocurrencies
• Participate in staking (where supported)
• Connect securely to Web3 apps and DeFi platforms

All of this happens while keeping your private keys offline and secure.

Essential Security Tips

To maximize your crypto security:

• Always start setup at trezor.io/start
• Never share your recovery seed with anyone
• Avoid phishing attempts, fake websites, and emails pretending to be Trezor
• Store your recovery seed separately from your device

Remember, anyone with your recovery seed can access your crypto. Protect it like you would a physical safe.

Take Control of Your Crypto

By setting up your Trezor wallet, you’re taking the first step toward true self-custody of your digital assets. Unlike relying on exchanges, you are now in full control of your crypto security.

Follow the setup carefully, double-check each step, and enjoy the confidence that comes from knowing your assets are safely stored offline.

Start your crypto journey securely. Start with confidence.
