Trezór.io/Start® | ®Starting Up Your Device® | Trezor®

In the ever-growing world of cryptocurrency, protecting your digital assets is more important than ever. Whether you’re a first-time investor or a seasoned trader, getting started the right way sets the foundation for long-term success. That journey begins at Trezór.io/Start® — the official and secure setup portal for your Trezor® hardware wallet.

Let’s explore how to safely and efficiently start up your device and manage your crypto with total confidence.

🔐 Why Trezor®?

Unlike software wallets or centralized exchanges, Trezor® is a hardware wallet — which means it stores your private keys offline. This makes it virtually immune to malware, phishing attacks, or unauthorized access. Designed by SatoshiLabs, Trezor was the first hardware wallet ever created and remains one of the most trusted tools in the crypto ecosystem.

Trezor gives you complete control over your assets — you hold the keys, and you control your crypto.

🌐 Step 1: Visit the Official Start Page

To begin setup, go directly to Trezor.io/Start. This is the only official website for downloading the Trezor Suite® app and receiving verified instructions.

Avoid downloading from third-party sites or app stores — fake apps are one of the most common traps in crypto scams.

📦 Step 2: Unboxing and Preparing Your Device

Inside your Trezor box, you should find:

  • Your Trezor® device (Model One or Model T)
  • USB cable (USB-A or USB-C, depending on model)
  • Recovery seed cards
  • Instruction manual
  • Trezor stickers and accessories

Before connecting, check the holographic seal on the box to ensure your device hasn’t been tampered with. If everything looks correct, you're ready to move on.

💻 Step 3: Connect and Install Trezor Suite®

Plug in your device via the provided USB cable. Now return to Trezor.io/Start and download Trezor Suite® for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web application for managing your device and your crypto.

Alternatively, you can use the web version directly in your browser, though the desktop app is more private and secure.

🧾 Step 4: Create or Restore a Wallet

Once inside Trezor Suite:

  • Choose “Create new wallet” if you're starting fresh.
  • Choose “Recover wallet” if restoring an existing one using your 24-word recovery seed.

Your device will then display your recovery seed — the single most important backup of your crypto. Write this down carefully on the recovery card provided. Never take a photo or store it digitally.

🔒 Tip: This seed can restore your funds even if the device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

🔒 Step 5: Set a PIN & Passphrase (Optional)

After creating your wallet, you’ll be prompted to set a PIN code. This code is required every time you plug in your device and adds a layer of physical security.

You can also enable an optional passphrase, which acts like a “wallet within a wallet.” Only those who know the passphrase can access that hidden wallet — even if they have your device and recovery seed.

💡 What You Can Do with Trezor Suite®

Now that your device is ready, you can begin using the powerful features of Trezor Suite:

  • Send and receive crypto: Safely transact with over 1,000 coins and tokens, including BTC, ETH, LTC, ADA, and ERC-20 assets.
  • Manage multiple accounts: Separate wallets for savings, trading, or daily use.
  • Buy/sell/swap: Built-in exchange tools allow you to buy crypto with fiat or swap coins securely.
  • Track your portfolio: View balances and performance in real time.
  • Use privacy tools: Enable Tor, manage UTXOs with coin control, and hide balances with discreet mode.
  • Update firmware: Keep your Trezor® device secure and up to date with regular firmware improvements.

✅ Stay Secure: Best Practices

  • Always use Trezor Suite from the official site.
  • Never share your recovery phrase, PIN, or passphrase.
  • Store your seed offline, preferably in a fireproof and waterproof location.
  • Enable passphrase protection for advanced users.
  • Keep your device's firmware up to date through Trezor Suite.
