Trézor.io/Start® | Starting Up Your Device – Trézor®

Getting started with cryptocurrency means taking your security seriously — and that’s where Trézor® hardware wallets come in. As one of the most trusted names in crypto security, Trézor® offers hardware wallets that keep your private keys offline, safe from hackers and phishing attacks. Whether you’ve just unboxed your Trézor Model One® or Trézor Model T®, the official starting point is always Trezor.io/Start.

This comprehensive guide walks you through everything you need to know to set up your Trézor® device securely and efficiently.

🔗 Step 1: Visit the Official Site – Trezor.io/Start®

Before connecting your new device, head to the official Trézor setup page:
 👉 https://trezor.io/start

Here, you’ll find:

  • Verified links to download Trézor Suite®
  • Official firmware installation guides
  • Security tips and warnings
  • Video tutorials for every step

⚠️ Important: Only use the official site to avoid counterfeit firmware, phishing attempts, or malicious apps. Never search for “Trezor setup” on search engines — always type the URL directly or use a trusted link.

📦 Step 2: Unbox and Verify Your Device

Your Trézor package should include:

  • 1x Trézor Model One® or Trézor Model T®
  • USB cable (USB-A to micro-USB or USB-C)
  • Recovery seed cards
  • Getting started guide
  • Trézor-branded stickers

💡 Check for tampering: Trézor devices are shipped in tamper-evident packaging. If you notice anything suspicious, contact Trézor support before proceeding.

💻 Step 3: Download and Install Trézor Suite®

Trézor Suite® is the official software to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio with maximum privacy and control. You can download Trézor Suite® for:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux

Once installed, open Trézor Suite® and connect your device to begin the guided setup process.

🌐 Prefer using a browser? Use Trezor Suite Web®, but for enhanced privacy and control, the desktop version is recommended.

🔐 Step 4: Create a New Wallet and Backup Recovery Seed

When prompted by Trézor Suite®, choose “Create New Wallet” on your device. Next, you'll be guided through generating and saving your recovery seed phrase.

  • Model One®: 24-word recovery seed
  • Model T®: 12- or 24-word recovery seed

🧠 Write it down on the provided recovery sheet — never store it digitally. This seed phrase is the only way to recover your crypto if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

🚫 Do not share it with anyone, including Trézor support. No legitimate service will ever ask for it.

🔒 Step 5: Set Up PIN Code and Optional Passphrase

Once the wallet is created:

  1. Choose a secure PIN (4–9 digits) directly on your device
  2. Optionally, enable a passphrase — an advanced feature that creates a hidden wallet for added security

These features protect your device from unauthorized physical access.

🧾 Step 6: Add Crypto Accounts

You can now add supported coins and tokens in Trézor Suite®. Choose from:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Litecoin (LTC)
  • Cardano (ADA)
  • ERC-20 tokens and many more

Install coin-specific apps on your device and create corresponding accounts in Trézor Suite®.

💡 You can organize and name your accounts to manage multiple wallets and portfolios.

💸 Step 7: Send and Receive Crypto Securely

Trézor Suite® makes it easy to transact:

To receive:

  • Click “Receive” and select the account
  • Verify the receiving address on your Trézor screen
  • Copy and share it with the sender

To send:

  • Click “Send” and enter the recipient’s address
  • Choose network fees (low/medium/high or custom)
  • Confirm and approve the transaction on your device

✅ Every transaction requires physical confirmation, keeping your assets protected from remote attacks.

🔄 Use Trézor Suite® to Buy, Swap, and Track Crypto

Trézor Suite® isn’t just a wallet — it’s a full crypto management platform:

  • Buy crypto with fiat through integrated partners like MoonPay or Simplex
  • Swap tokens instantly with built-in exchange services
  • Track your portfolio value in real-time
  • Use Tor for enhanced privacy (available in Settings)

You maintain full control — no custodial access, no third-party holding your assets.

🌐 Integrate with Other Platforms

Your Trézor® device also works with:

  • MetaMask (for Web3 and DeFi apps)
  • Exodus Wallet
  • Electrum for advanced Bitcoin management
  • MyEtherWallet (MEW) for Ethereum

All integrations require on-device approval for full security.
