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

As the crypto world grows, the importance of secure digital asset management becomes more crucial than ever. Whether you’re investing in Bitcoin, Ethereum, NFTs, or exploring decentralized finance (DeFi), protecting your crypto starts with one powerful move: self-custody. That’s where Trezor®, the original hardware wallet brand, comes in. And the safest way to begin is through the official onboarding site: Trezor.io/Start®.

This is your official starting line. Whether you're using the Trezor Model One® or the advanced Trezor Model T®, this guide walks you through every step to initialize and use your Trezor securely.

🔐 Why Choose a Trezor® Hardware Wallet?

Trezor® is a pioneer in the crypto security space. Created by SatoshiLabs in 2014, it was the first hardware wallet ever made. Its key feature? Cold storage. Your private keys never leave your device, making it immune to hacks, malware, and online threats.

Key Benefits:

  • Offline key storage for maximum security
  • Open-source firmware and software
  • Trezor Suite App for easy portfolio management
  • Support for 1,000+ coins and tokens

No matter your experience level, starting with Trezor® gives you full control over your crypto—safely and simply.

🧭 Step 1: Unbox and Verify Your Device

When your device arrives, ensure the packaging is sealed and untampered. Trezor devices are never pre-configured or used. If something looks suspicious, contact support before connecting the device.

Inside your box, you'll find:

  • The Trezor hardware wallet
  • USB cable
  • Recovery seed cards
  • Trezor stickers and documentation

🌐 Step 2: Visit Trezor.io/Start®

Go to Trezor.io/Start® using a trusted web browser. This official site ensures that you:

  • Download the authentic Trezor Suite App
  • Avoid phishing sites or counterfeit firmware
  • Get access to step-by-step setup guides

Always verify the URL: https://trezor.io/start

💻 Step 3: Download and Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is your secure desktop application for managing your crypto. It works on:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux

Once downloaded, follow the prompts to install the app. You can also use the browser version, but the desktop app is preferred for enhanced privacy and reliability.

⚙️ Step 4: Connect and Initialize Your Device

Plug your Trezor device into your computer via USB. The Trezor Suite will detect it and walk you through the setup:

  1. Install the latest firmware (if needed).
  2. Create a new wallet or choose to recover an existing one.
  3. Write down your recovery phrase.
⚠️ Your 12- or 24-word recovery phrase is your only backup. Write it on the recovery card provided and store it offline in a secure location. Never save it digitally or share it with anyone.
  1. Set a PIN code on the device. This adds physical protection.

With your wallet created, you’re ready to begin using Trezor securely.

📲 Step 5: Explore Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is your dashboard for everything crypto. You can:

  • Send and receive crypto safely
  • Track your portfolio’s value
  • Exchange assets using built-in partners
  • Buy crypto directly with fiat
  • Use privacy tools like CoinJoin (on Bitcoin)
  • Add custom tokens and multiple accounts

Supported assets include:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Cardano (ADA)
  • Polygon (MATIC)
  • Solana (via third-party apps)
  • And many ERC-20 tokens and stablecoins

You’ll confirm every transaction directly on your device, which means no operation can happen without your approval.

🔄 Step 6: Restoring a Wallet (If Needed)

If you lose or reset your Trezor, you can recover your assets using your recovery phrase.

Steps:

  1. Plug in a new or reset device
  2. Choose "Recover Wallet"
  3. Enter the exact 12/24-word recovery phrase
  4. Your accounts and balances will be restored

As long as you have your recovery phrase, your crypto is safe—even if the device is lost or destroyed.

🛡️ Best Security Practices

  • Always download software only from Trezor.io/Start®
  • Never share your PIN or recovery phrase
  • Enable passphrase protection for extra wallet layers
  • Use hidden wallets for storing high-value assets
  • Stay alert for phishing attempts and fake support messages

Trezor Suite also alerts you to firmware updates and security news, helping you stay ahead of threats.
