Welcome to the official starting guide for your Trézor® hardware wallet. The Trezor device is one of the most trusted tools for storing and managing cryptocurrencies safely. This step-by-step guide will help you begin your journey with complete confidence, from unboxing your device to securing your digital assets.
To ensure safety, always begin by visiting the official Trezor start page: https://trezor.io/start. Never trust third-party links or look-alike domains such as “trézor.io” or “trez0r.com”. The authentic site will guide you through the entire setup process securely.
Trezor offers two models — the Trezor Model One and the Trezor Model T. On the start page, select the model you own to see device-specific instructions. Both devices use the same security standards but differ in design and additional features.
Next, download the Trezor Suite app, which is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. This software lets you manage your crypto portfolio and update your device firmware. The desktop version is recommended for the best security experience.
Plug your Trezor into your computer using the provided USB cable. Follow the instructions in Trezor Suite to install firmware (if required), set up a secure PIN, and create a new wallet. You can also recover an existing wallet if you already have a recovery seed.
During setup, your device will display a list of recovery words — usually 12, 18, or 24. Write these words on paper and store them in a safe, offline location. This seed is the only way to restore your funds if your device is lost or damaged. Never share or type your recovery seed on any website.
Once setup is complete, you can access your wallet through Trezor Suite. Here you can send, receive, and monitor cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many others. Always verify all transaction details on your Trezor device screen before confirming.
Your Trezor device empowers you with full control over your digital assets, protected by industry-leading encryption and privacy standards. By following these steps and keeping your recovery seed safe, you ensure your cryptocurrency remains secure under your control.
