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

Getting started with a Trezor hardware wallet is designed to be straightforward. Trezor.io/Start is the official starting point for setting up your new Trezor device, installing Trezor Suite, completing the initial configuration, and preparing your wallet for secure cryptocurrency management. The official Trezor setup page currently instructs users to download the Trezor Suite app and follow the guided setup process.

Whether you are using a new Trezor Safe 7, Trezor Safe 5, Trezor Safe 3, or another supported device, beginning at the official Trezor.io/Start page helps ensure that you are using genuine Trezor software and the correct setup instructions.

What Is Trezor.io/Start?

Trezor.io/Start is Trezor's official onboarding page for new hardware-wallet users. It provides access to Trezor Suite, the company's application for interacting with a Trezor hardware wallet.

According to Trezor's current setup instructions, users can download Trezor Suite for desktop or choose to continue in a compatible web browser. Trezor recommends the desktop application for the best experience.

For more information about the software, visit our Trezor Suite guide, which explains how the application can be used to manage, send, receive, buy, sell, swap, and track supported crypto assets.

Step 1: Download Trezor Suite

The first stage of setup is installing the official Trezor Suite application. Visit Trezor.io/Start and select the appropriate download option for your computer.

Once downloaded, install and open Trezor Suite. The application will guide you through the remaining setup steps. Trezor's device-specific guides also direct new users to Trezor.io/Start to download the desktop application.

Always obtain Trezor Suite through official Trezor channels. Avoid downloading wallet software from advertisements, unofficial websites, random links, or unknown third-party sources.

Step 2: Connect Your Trezor Device

After opening Trezor Suite, connect your Trezor hardware wallet using the appropriate connection method for your model. The software will recognize the device and display instructions for continuing.

The exact connection process can vary between models. For example, the Trezor Safe 3 and Safe 5 support USB-C connections, while the Trezor Safe 7 also offers Bluetooth connectivity for supported mobile setups.

Follow the instructions shown in Trezor Suite rather than relying on unofficial setup videos or instructions.

Step 3: Verify and Install Firmware

During setup, Trezor Suite guides you through device verification and firmware installation. Current Trezor documentation explains that new devices can ship without firmware, allowing the appropriate firmware to be installed during initialization.

Depending on your model, you may also be asked to complete an authenticity or security check. For example, the Trezor Safe 5 setup includes a Secure Element authenticity check after firmware installation.

If your device or packaging appears suspicious or does not behave as expected, stop the setup and consult the official Trezor documentation before proceeding.

Step 4: Create and Protect Your Wallet Backup

One of the most important parts of setting up a hardware wallet is creating a secure wallet backup. Trezor Suite guides users through the backup process, while the backup words are displayed on the Trezor device.

Write the words down carefully on the supplied backup cards and store them somewhere secure and offline. Never share your wallet backup with anyone.

Trezor's current documentation emphasizes that the wallet backup should not be entered into websites, applications, or messages. It is intended to provide recovery access to your wallet, so anyone who obtains it may be able to access your crypto.

You can explore our Trezor backup and recovery guides for additional information about wallet backups, recovery, and security best practices.

Set a PIN and Complete Setup

After backing up your wallet, Trezor Suite may guide you through setting a PIN and activating supported assets. The PIN adds another layer of protection against unauthorized access to the physical device. Trezor's setup documentation lists authenticity verification, firmware installation, wallet backup, and PIN configuration among the key setup stages.

Once these steps are complete, you can reach the Trezor Suite dashboard and begin managing your supported cryptocurrency accounts.

Start Managing Your Crypto

After your Trezor is initialized, Trezor Suite provides a central interface for managing your digital assets. Depending on the supported asset and service, you can send and receive cryptocurrency, monitor your portfolio, swap assets, and access other available features.

When receiving cryptocurrency, always verify the address displayed on your Trezor device before using it. When sending funds, carefully check the destination address, amount, and transaction fee on the hardware wallet before approving the transaction.

Stay Alert for Fake Trezor Websites

Security should remain a priority after the initial setup. Cryptocurrency users are frequently targeted by phishing websites, fake applications, fraudulent support messages, and other scams.

Trezor advises users to download Trezor Suite from official sources and warns that the company will never ask users to enter their wallet backup into the app or a website.

If you need assistance, use the official Trezor Support Center for troubleshooting, device guides, security information, and other help resources.

Begin With Trezor.io/Start

Setting up your Trezor does not need to be complicated. Start at Trezor.io/Start, install the official Trezor Suite app, connect and verify your device, install the required firmware, create your wallet backup, and secure the device with a PIN.

The official setup page estimates that the basic setup takes approximately 15 minutes.

By following the official setup process and protecting your wallet backup, you can begin using your Trezor hardware wallet with greater confidence while maintaining control of your digital assets.
