Trezor.io/Start® | Begin Your Crypto Journey Securely — Trezor®

In the digital age, securing your cryptocurrencies is more important than ever. With growing risks of online hacks, phishing scams, and exchange breaches, storing your crypto assets safely is not just a choice—it’s a necessity. That’s where Trezor®, the original hardware wallet, comes in. The best way to start using your Trezor® device is by visiting the official setup portal at Trezor.io/Start.

This guide will walk you through the secure and simple setup process and help you understand why Trezor® is one of the most trusted names in crypto security.

Why Choose Trezor®?

Trezor® is a hardware wallet developed by SatoshiLabs—pioneers in crypto security since 2013. Unlike hot wallets and exchanges, which are connected to the internet, Trezor® stores your private keys offline, significantly reducing the risk of cyberattacks.

With full support for thousands of coins and tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and popular ERC-20 tokens, Trezor® gives users complete control over their digital assets.

Step 1: Go to the Official Setup Page — Trezor.io/Start®

To begin, always navigate to the official setup page:
 🔗 https://trezor.io/start

This is your safe gateway to:

  • Download Trezor Suite® (official wallet interface)
  • Learn about wallet models (Model One® and Model T®)
  • Access support and FAQs
  • Verify your device and begin secure setup

⚠️ Warning: Avoid unofficial websites, mobile apps, or third-party tools that claim to offer Trezor® setup. Only trust links from Trezor.io to protect your funds and identity.

Step 2: Unbox and Verify Your Trezor® Device

Inside your Trezor® box, you’ll find:

  • Trezor Model One® or Model T®
  • USB cable
  • Recovery seed cards
  • Welcome and instruction cards

Before connecting the device, ensure that the holographic seal on the USB port is intact and that the packaging shows no signs of tampering. Trezor® devices do not come with pre-set recovery phrases. If one is included in the box, do not use it—it may be a scam.

Step 3: Download and Install Trezor Suite®

Once you’re at Trezor.io/Start, download the latest version of Trezor Suite®, which is available for:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux

Trezor Suite® is your all-in-one platform to manage cryptocurrencies, set up your wallet, and monitor your portfolio. There’s also a web version, but the desktop app is recommended for better privacy and security.

Step 4: Connect and Initialize Your Trezor®

  1. Plug your Trezor® device into your computer using the included cable.
  2. Trezor Suite® will automatically detect your device and guide you through the setup.
  3. Choose “Create new wallet.”
  4. Generate your recovery seed phrase—a 12- or 24-word phrase shown only on your Trezor screen.
  5. Write down this phrase exactly as shown and store it securely offline.

🛑 Important: Never share your recovery seed. Trezor® or any support team will never ask for it. It is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.

Step 5: Set a Strong PIN

Next, you’ll be prompted to create a PIN code, which protects the device from unauthorized physical access.

  • Use a unique PIN (6 to 9 digits)
  • Don’t repeat patterns like “123456”
  • This PIN will be required each time you connect your device

Trezor® adds a delay after failed PIN attempts, making brute-force attacks nearly impossible.

Step 6: Add Accounts and Receive Crypto

Now that your Trezor® is secure, you can:

  • Add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and more
  • View balances and transaction history
  • Receive crypto by generating verified wallet addresses

When receiving crypto, always verify the address on your Trezor screen to ensure it wasn’t altered by malware on your computer.

Step 7: Send Crypto Securely

To send crypto:

  1. Enter the recipient address and amount in Trezor Suite®.
  2. Confirm the full details on your Trezor device screen.
  3. Approve the transaction by pressing the physical button.

All transactions must be confirmed on the physical device, adding an extra layer of protection.

Step 8: Explore Advanced Features

Trezor Suite® and Trezor® hardware wallets offer more than just basic crypto storage:

  • CoinJoin support for private Bitcoin transactions
  • Staking via integrated third-party platforms
  • Token support for ERC-20, BEP-20, and others
  • Passphrase protection for added security
  • Labeling and watch-only mode for account organization
