Get Started With Trezor.io/Start

To begin, visit Trezor.io/Start and follow the instructions displayed on the official Trezor website. The page provides access to Trezor Suite, which is available as a desktop application and through a web interface.

Trezor recommends the desktop application for the best experience. After installing Trezor Suite, connect your hardware wallet and follow the on-screen instructions. Depending on your device, the setup process generally takes around 15 minutes. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":1275,"end_idx":1294,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/start","https://trezor.io/start?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"status":"done","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}],"style":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

For the official setup instructions, use Trezor.io/Start rather than downloading wallet software from an unofficial website.

How to Set Up Your Trezor Device

The basic setup process is straightforward:

1. Open Trezor.io/Start: Begin at the official Trezor setup page.
   
   

2. Download Trezor Suite: Choose the appropriate desktop application or continue with the web version.
   
   

3. Connect your device: Use the appropriate cable or connection method for your Trezor model.
   
   

4. Follow the setup instructions: Trezor Suite will guide you through device initialization and other required steps.
   
   

5. Create and secure your wallet backup: Carefully record the backup information provided during setup.
   
   

Some newer Trezor devices use different wallet-backup formats, so follow the instructions shown for your specific model. Trezor explains that a wallet backup is essential for recovering access to a wallet if the hardware device is lost or damaged. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":2289,"end_idx":2322,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/guides/backups-recovery/general-standards/how-to-use-a-wallet-backup","https://trezor.io/guides/backups-recovery/general-standards/how-to-use-a-wallet-backup?utm_source=chatgpt.com","https://trezor.io/learn/basics/glossary","https://trezor.io/learn/basics/glossary?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"status":"done","fallback_items":null,"items":[{"title":"How to use a wallet backup | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/backups-recovery/general-standards/how-to-use-a-wallet-backup?utm_source=chatgpt.com","attribution":"Trezor","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution_segments":null,"supporting_websites":[{"title":"Trezor, bitcoin and crypto glossary | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/learn/basics/glossary?utm_source=chatgpt.com","pub_date":null,"snippet":"","attribution":"Trezor"}],"refs":[{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":1},{"turn_index":0,"ref_type":"search","ref_index":11}],"hue":null,"attributions":null}],"style":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

Secure Your Wallet Backup

Wallet security does not end after installing Trezor Suite. Your wallet backup must remain private and protected. Trezor states that users should never share their wallet backup and should not store digital copies such as screenshots, photographs, emails, or cloud-storage files. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":2634,"end_idx":2653,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/guides/backups-recovery/general-standards/how-to-use-a-wallet-backup","https://trezor.io/guides/backups-recovery/general-standards/how-to-use-a-wallet-backup?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"status":"done","fallback_items":null,"items":[{"title":"How to use a wallet backup | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/guides/backups-recovery/general-standards/how-to-use-a-wallet-backup?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}],"style":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

During setup, write down the backup words exactly as they appear and keep them in a secure physical location. Never enter the backup into a website, computer, phone, or other device unless the official Trezor device specifically instructs you to do so.

You can also review Trezor's official security guidance through Trezor.io/Start before completing your setup.

Connect and Manage Your Crypto

Once your Trezor has been initialized, Trezor Suite allows you to manage supported cryptocurrency accounts and transactions. You can use the application to view balances, receive assets, and initiate transfers while keeping control of your wallet keys through your Trezor hardware wallet. {"fallbackMarkdown":"(Trezor)","reference":{"matched_text":"","prefix":null,"start_idx":3375,"end_idx":3394,"safe_urls":["https://trezor.io/learn","https://trezor.io/learn?utm_source=chatgpt.com"],"refs":[],"alt":"(Trezor)","prompt_text":null,"type":"grouped_webpages","error":null,"status":"done","fallback_items":null,"items":[{"title":"Learn | Trezor","url":"https://trezor.io/learn?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}],"style":null},"showLoginRequiredCard":false}

If you are ready to begin, return to Trezor.io/Start and follow the official instructions for your device.
