Trézor.io/Start® | Official Getting Started Page | Trézor®

Getting started with your Trezor hardware wallet is designed to be straightforward. The official Trezor.io/Start page provides the starting point for setting up a new Trezor device and connecting it with Trezor Suite. For the safest setup experience, always make sure you are using the official Trezor website and software.

Start Your Trezor Setup

To begin, visit Trezor.io/Start and follow the instructions displayed on the official getting-started page. Trezor currently recommends using the Trezor Suite desktop application for the best experience, while a web version is also available for supported devices and browsers.

The setup process generally takes around 15 minutes. Before beginning, have your Trezor device, its USB cable, the supplied wallet backup cards, and a pen available. Device-specific requirements can vary by model.

Step 1: Download Trezor Suite

Visit Trezor.io/Start and select the appropriate option for your setup. Trezor Suite provides the interface used to connect your hardware wallet, create or recover a wallet, manage accounts, and perform supported crypto transactions.

If you choose the desktop version, install Trezor Suite on your computer and open the application. Trezor also provides a browser-based version for compatible environments.

Step 2: Connect and Verify Your Device

Connect your Trezor using the appropriate cable. Trezor Suite will guide you through the connection and device-security checks.

Depending on your Trezor model, the setup process may include authenticity or security verification. Follow the instructions shown in Trezor Suite and on the device itself. If something about the packaging or device appears unusual, stop and consult Trezor's official support documentation before continuing.

Step 3: Install Firmware and Create Your Wallet

New Trezor devices are designed to have firmware installed during setup. Trezor Suite guides you through installing the appropriate firmware version and restarting the device when necessary. Some models also provide an authenticity check after firmware installation.

Afterward, you can create a new wallet or recover an existing wallet. During a new-wallet setup, Trezor Suite guides you through creating your wallet backup. The backup words are critical to recovering access to your wallet, so they should be written down carefully and kept private and offline.

Step 4: Secure Your Wallet

Never share your wallet backup words, PIN, or other security information with another person or website. Trezor's documentation refers to the wallet backup as the information used to recover access to your wallet; older materials may call it a recovery seed.

Once setup is complete, you can return to Trezor.io/Start whenever you need the official starting point for Trezor setup information. From Trezor Suite, you can manage supported accounts, view your portfolio, send and receive crypto, and access other available features.

For additional setup guidance, use Trezor.io/Start rather than links received through unsolicited messages. Checking the website address carefully is an important part of protecting yourself from phishing websites.

Begin Safely at Trezor.io/Start

Whether you are setting up a Trezor for the first time or returning to an existing device, the official Trezor.io/Start page provides the appropriate starting point. Follow the instructions displayed by Trezor Suite, keep your wallet backup private, and use official Trezor documentation whenever you need additional help.
