Trézor.io/Start® | Startiñg Up Your Devi𝖼e | Trézor®

In an age where digital currencies are reshaping the financial world, protecting your crypto assets is more critical than ever. While blockchain networks are inherently secure, the same cannot be said for online wallets, exchanges, or software-based storage solutions. That's where Trézor®, the world’s first hardware wallet, plays a vital role.

If you’ve just received your new Trézor device, congratulations — you’ve taken a big step toward securing your digital future. Whether you're using the Trézor Model T or the Trézor One, this guide will walk you through how to safely and correctly set up your device using the official portal at Trézor.io/Start.

Let’s begin your journey to unmatched crypto security.

Why Use a Trézor® Hardware Wallet?

Before we dive into the setup, it’s important to understand why a hardware wallet like Trézor is essential:

• Offline Security: Trézor stores your private keys offline, completely isolated from internet threats.
• User Control: You, and only you, hold the keys to your digital assets.
• Open Source: Trézor firmware and software are fully transparent and reviewed by the global community.
• Multi-Currency Support: Securely manage thousands of coins and tokens in one place.
• Advanced Features: Hidden wallets, passphrase protection, and transaction verification — all done on your device.

Getting Started at Trézor.io/Start®

The official starting point for setting up any Trézor device is Trézor.io/Start. This is where you’ll find verified resources, links to software, and step-by-step guidance.

1. Choose Your Device

Visit Trézor.io/Start and select your device model (Model T or One). The instructions will be tailored to the hardware version you own.

2. Install Trezor Suite

You’ll be prompted to download Trezor Suite, the official application for managing your wallet. It is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and through a web browser at suite.trezor.io.

Note: Always download Trezor Suite from the official website to avoid malicious clones.

3. Connect Your Device

Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trézor to your computer. Once connected, Trezor Suite will recognize your device and begin the setup wizard.

Initial Setup Process

Here’s how to safely set up your device for the first time:

A. Install Firmware

Most new devices ship without firmware for security purposes. You’ll be prompted to install the latest firmware via Trezor Suite. This ensures your device is using the most up-to-date and secure system.

B. Create a New Wallet

Once firmware is installed, choose “Create New Wallet.” You will now begin the process of generating your private keys and seed phrase.

C. Backup Your Recovery Seed

Your device will display a 12- or 24-word recovery seed. This seed is your only way to restore your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.

IMPORTANT:

• Write your seed on paper and store it in a safe, offline location.
• Never take photos, screenshots, or store it digitally.
• Do not share your seed with anyone — not even Trezor support.

D. Set a PIN

You will be asked to choose a secure PIN. This is required each time you unlock your device. Enter the PIN on your computer using a scrambled number pad that corresponds to what you see on your Trézor screen — this helps prevent spyware from detecting your input.

Using Your Trézor After Setup

Once your wallet is set up, you can:

• Receive and send cryptocurrencies securely
• Manage accounts for different coins
• Use integrated exchanges to trade crypto
• Track your portfolio and balance
• Enable passphrase protection for extra wallet layers
• Use third-party apps like MetaMask with Trézor for DeFi and NFT access

All transactions must be confirmed on the device, adding a critical layer of security to every action.

Security Tips for Safe Usage

Here’s how to keep your crypto as secure as possible:

1. Always access your wallet through trezor.io or suite.trezor.io.
2. Keep your recovery seed offline and hidden. Consider a metal backup for added durability.
3. Enable passphrase protection to create a hidden wallet if you want advanced security.
4. Update your firmware regularly to ensure the latest protection.
5. Beware of phishing emails or sites pretending to be Trezor. Trezor will never ask for your seed.

Troubleshooting Common Setup Issues

• Device not recognized: Make sure you're using the original cable and a supported OS. Try a different USB port.
• Firmware update fails: Ensure you have a stable internet connection. Restart both your computer and device.
• Can’t confirm actions: Ensure the screen on your Trézor is functioning and that no physical damage has occurred.

If you run into issues, always refer to the official Trezor Support page linked from Trezor.io/Start.

Setting up your Trézor® Hardware Wallet through Trézor.io/Start is your first step toward complete control and unmatched protection of your digital assets. By keeping your private keys offline, confirming transactions manually, and following best security practices, you make your crypto holdings nearly impossible to compromise.
