What Is Trezor.io/Start?

Trezor.io/Start is the official setup destination for new Trezor hardware wallets. Instead of searching for third-party installation files or unofficial instructions, users can start directly through Trezor's official website.

The setup process is designed to help you download Trezor Suite, connect your hardware wallet, install the required firmware when applicable, create or recover a wallet, and complete your wallet backup.

For the best experience, begin with the official Trezor Start page and follow the instructions displayed for your particular device.

Starting Your Trezor Device

Once you reach Trezor.io/Start, the first step is to download Trezor Suite. Trezor currently offers a desktop application, while the web version can also be accessed through the official setup page. Trezor recommends following the setup instructions provided for your device. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":2033,"end_idx":2052,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/start","https://trezor.io/start?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","style":null,"fallback_items":null,"items":[{"title":"Trezor Suite App (Official) | Congrats on your new Trezor | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/start?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":0}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}],"status":"done","error":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

After opening Trezor Suite, connect your Trezor hardware wallet. The application will recognize the device and guide you through the next stages of setup. Depending on the model, this can include installing firmware and completing device security or authenticity checks.

Your Trezor device is designed to keep your private keys protected while allowing you to interact with supported blockchain networks. A hardware wallet does not literally store your cryptocurrency; rather, it protects the private keys that give you control over your assets. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":2601,"end_idx":2620,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/learn/basics/what-is-a-hardware-wallet","https://trezor.io/learn/basics/what-is-a-hardware-wallet?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","style":null,"fallback_items":null,"items":[{"title":"Trezor hardware wallets and their advantages | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/learn/basics/what-is-a-hardware-wallet?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":1}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}],"status":"done","error":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

Create a New Wallet or Recover an Existing One

During setup, Trezor Suite gives you the option to create a new wallet or recover an existing wallet using a wallet backup.

If this is your first Trezor, choose the option to create a new wallet and carefully follow the instructions shown on your device. If you already have a wallet backup and are replacing or restoring a device, choose the recovery option and follow the on-screen instructions.

Your wallet backup is one of the most important parts of your Trezor setup. Depending on the device and configuration, backups can use different formats and word counts. Current Trezor documentation describes BIP39 and SLIP39 backup formats, including 12-, 20-, and 24-word configurations. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":3363,"end_idx":3382,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/learn/security-privacy/personal-security-standards/understanding-trezor-wallet-backups-12-20-or-24-words","https://trezor.io/learn/security-privacy/personal-security-standards/understanding-trezor-wallet-backups-12-20-or-24-words?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","style":null,"fallback_items":null,"items":[{"title":"Trezor wallet backups: 12, 20 or 24 words | Trezor Knowledge Base | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/learn/security-privacy/personal-security-standards/understanding-trezor-wallet-backups-12-20-or-24-words?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":2}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}],"status":"done","error":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

For this reason, never share your wallet backup with another person, website, application, or support representative.

Protect Your Wallet Backup

When you create a new wallet through Trezor Suite, your device will guide you through creating a wallet backup. Write the backup down exactly as instructed and store it somewhere secure and private.

Your backup can be used to restore access to your wallet if your hardware device is lost, damaged, or reset. At the same time, anyone who obtains the backup may be able to gain access to the wallet, making its protection extremely important. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":3976,"end_idx":3995,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/learn/security-privacy/personal-security-standards/understanding-trezor-wallet-backups-12-20-or-24-words","https://trezor.io/learn/security-privacy/personal-security-standards/understanding-trezor-wallet-backups-12-20-or-24-words?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","style":null,"fallback_items":null,"items":[{"title":"Trezor wallet backups: 12, 20 or 24 words | Trezor Knowledge Base | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/learn/security-privacy/personal-security-standards/understanding-trezor-wallet-backups-12-20-or-24-words?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":2}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}],"status":"done","error":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

Why Use the Official Trezor Start Page?

Using the official Trezor.io/Start page helps you begin with the genuine Trezor setup process. Avoid downloading wallet software from unknown websites or entering sensitive wallet information into unofficial pages.

Trezor also recommends purchasing devices through its official store or authorized resellers to reduce the risk of receiving a tampered device. Its setup process includes security measures intended to help verify the device and protect wallet creation. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":4682,"end_idx":4701,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/learn/security-privacy/how-trezor-keeps-you-safe/entropy-check-how-trezor-suite-verifies-wallet-generation","https://trezor.io/learn/security-privacy/how-trezor-keeps-you-safe/entropy-check-how-trezor-suite-verifies-wallet-generation?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","style":null,"fallback_items":null,"items":[{"title":"Entropy check: how Trezor Suite verifies wallet generation | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/learn/security-privacy/how-trezor-keeps-you-safe/entropy-check-how-trezor-suite-verifies-wallet-generation?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":5}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}],"status":"done","error":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

Manage Your Crypto With Trezor Suite

After your setup is complete, Trezor Suite allows you to manage supported cryptocurrency accounts and assets from one interface. You can use it to view balances, receive assets, send transactions, and manage your accounts.

Before transferring cryptocurrency, make sure you understand the blockchain network and destination address you are using. Trezor provides a current list of supported coins and tokens so users can verify compatibility before making a transaction. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":5215,"end_idx":5235,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/learn/supported-assets/supported-coins","https://trezor.io/learn/supported-assets/supported-coins?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","style":null,"fallback_items":null,"items":[{"title":"Coins and tokens supported on Trezor | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/learn/supported-assets/supported-coins?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":10}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}],"status":"done","error":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}
