Welcome to Trézor.io/Start®, your official and secure gateway to setting up your Trézor® hardware wallet, the world’s first and most trusted crypto hardware wallet. Whether you're setting up a Trézor Model T or Trézor One, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of initializing your device, securing your recovery seed, installing the Trézor Suite desktop or web app, and making your first crypto transactions. Designed for beginners and experienced users alike, this guide ensures your digital assets are protected with military-grade security and user-friendly tools.
Trézor® hardware wallets are designed to provide maximum security for your cryptocurrencies, passwords, and other digital assets. Your private keys never leave the device, and with open-source code, full transparency, and continuous development by SatoshiLabs, you’re trusting a pioneer in the crypto space. Whether you're holding Bitcoin, Ethereum, or hundreds of supported coins and tokens, Trézor® puts you in full control of your wealth.
To begin, open a secure browser and go to https://trezor.io/start. Make sure the URL is correct to avoid phishing sites. Trézor.io/Start will guide you through the setup process and help you download Trézor Suite, the all-in-one software for managing your crypto portfolio securely.
Inside your Trézor box, you’ll find:
Connect your device to your computer or smartphone using the USB cable. You will be prompted to either set up a new wallet or recover an existing one.
Trézor Suite is the official desktop and web application that lets you manage your crypto assets, check balances, receive/send funds, and access advanced features like coin control and Tor connectivity. Download Trézor Suite from Trézor.io/start, and follow the installation instructions compatible with Windows, macOS, or Linux.
When setting up a new wallet, your device will generate a unique 12-, 18-, or 24-word recovery seed. This seed is your only backup in case your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. Write down the words in order on the recovery seed card and store it offline in a secure place. Never take a digital photo of your seed or store it online.
To add another layer of security, create a PIN code directly on your Trézor device. You can also enable a passphrase (an optional 25th word) to create additional wallets that are hidden unless the correct passphrase is entered. This feature is recommended for advanced users seeking enhanced privacy.
With your wallet setup complete, you can now receive and send cryptocurrencies. Trézor Suite allows you to:
