Welcome to Trezor.io/Start
Welcome to the official starting point for your Trezor hardware wallet. The page Trezor.io/Start is the only trusted and secure place to begin setting up your device. Whether you own a Trezor Model One or the advanced Trezor Model T, this guide walks you through every step — from connecting your wallet to installing the official management software.

How to Set Up Your Trezor Wallet
Setting up your Trezor device is simple and secure. Follow these steps carefully to ensure that your wallet is initialized correctly and safely.
- Step 1: Go to trezor.io/start using your computer.
- Step 2: Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable.
- Step 3: Install the official Trezor Suite app when prompted. This is your gateway to managing crypto.
- Step 4: Follow the on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite to update the firmware if necessary.
- Step 5: Create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed.
- Step 6: Securely back up your recovery seed. Write it down on paper and store it in a safe place — never share or photograph it.
Once setup is complete, your Trezor is ready to receive, send, and store cryptocurrencies securely. Every transaction you make must be confirmed directly on your hardware device, ensuring complete protection against malware and phishing.
Introducing Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official application designed to interact with your Trezor wallet. It provides a secure and intuitive interface for managing all your crypto assets in one place. Through Trezor Suite, you can:
- View your entire portfolio in real time
- Send and receive coins with full transaction transparency
- Exchange and buy cryptocurrencies using integrated partners
- Use advanced features like Coin Control and Tor Connectivity for privacy
- Keep your device firmware up to date and access security settings
You can download the desktop version of Trezor Suite for Windows, macOS, or Linux, or use the browser-based version at suite.trezor.io. For best security, the desktop app is recommended.
Your Security Comes First
Trezor devices are built around the principle of security through ownership. Unlike custodial wallets, Trezor never holds or accesses your private keys — they remain safely stored inside your device. Only you can confirm transactions on the physical device screen, ensuring that no hacker or malware can access your funds remotely.
Best security practices when setting up your Trezor:
- Purchase only from trezor.io or authorized resellers.
- Check that your device is sealed and untampered before connecting.
- Always use the official Trezor Suite software and trezor.io/start for setup.
- Never share your recovery seed with anyone — not even Trezor support.
- Enable PIN and passphrase protection for additional layers of defense.
Following these guidelines ensures that your crypto assets are protected from digital and physical threats alike.
Need Help? We’re Here for You
If you encounter any issues during setup, the Trezor Support Center provides detailed guides and troubleshooting resources. You can also contact official support directly through trezor.io/support.
Remember — Trezor staff will never ask for your recovery seed or PIN. Any request for such information is a scam. Always verify you are on the official website before entering sensitive information.
The Trezor ecosystem is built by a passionate community of developers and crypto enthusiasts. By using a Trezor hardware wallet, you become part of a growing movement toward decentralized ownership, privacy, and financial independence.
