Trezor.io/Start® – Starting Up Your Device | Trezor® | en-us

Welcome to Trezor.io/Start®, your official starting point for setting up and securing your Trezor® hardware wallet. Whether you’ve just unboxed your brand-new Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T, this guide walks you through the essential steps to set up your device, secure your crypto assets, and gain peace of mind in managing digital currencies.

Why Trezor?

Trezor® is one of the world’s most trusted hardware wallets, created by SatoshiLabs, and used globally for the cold storage of cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and many others. By using a hardware wallet, you keep your private keys completely offline, safe from hackers, malware, and phishing attempts.

Trezor supports hundreds of coins and tokens and integrates with popular wallets like MetaMask, Exodus, and third-party apps, offering a flexible and highly secure crypto experience.

Step 1: Go to Trezor.io/Start

Begin by visiting the official setup page at . This page will detect your device model and direct you to the correct setup process. Only use this official site to avoid fake firmware or scams.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Download and install Trezor Suite, the official desktop and browser app for managing your wallet. Trezor Suite offers:

• Portfolio tracking
• Secure coin and token management
• Privacy settings and Tor support
• Firmware updates

Install it on a clean, trusted device (Windows, macOS, or Linux) to begin.

Step 3: Connect and Initialize Your Device

Plug in your Trezor using the supplied USB cable. The Suite will recognize your device and prompt you to install the latest firmware. Follow the on-screen instructions to:

• Install firmware (only do this through the Suite to ensure authenticity)
• Create a new wallet or recover an existing one
• Generate your recovery seed – a 12, 18, or 24-word phrase that is your ultimate backup

Write down your recovery seed on the provided card. Never share this phrase or store it digitally.

Step 4: Set Up Security Features

Next, you’ll be asked to:

• Set a PIN for device access
• Optionally set a passphrase for additional protection
• Enable metadata privacy or Tor routing for anonymity

These features are designed to make your wallet highly secure, even if your physical device is lost or stolen.

Step 5: Add and Manage Assets

After setup, use Trezor Suite to:

• Add supported coins (BTC, ETH, ADA, LTC, and more)
• Send and receive crypto using secure address verification
• Track your portfolio’s value in real-time
• Connect to DeFi apps via MetaMask in expert mode

All transactions must be confirmed physically on your device, preventing remote access or unauthorized transfers.

Start Secure, Stay Secure

Your journey into crypto self-custody begins at Trezor.io/Start®. Always keep your firmware updated, guard your recovery seed, and only trust official software. With Trezor, you hold the keys — literally and securely.
