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

Getting started with a new Trezor hardware wallet is designed to be straightforward. The official Trezor.io/Start page provides the starting point for downloading Trezor Suite, connecting your device, and completing the initial setup. According to Trezor, the basic setup can take around 15 minutes, depending on your device and setup method.

If you have just purchased a Trezor, begin by using the official Trezor.io/Start page rather than downloading wallet software from an unfamiliar website.

What Is Trezor.io/Start?

Trezor.io/Start is Trezor's official onboarding page for new hardware-wallet users. It directs users to Trezor Suite and provides the steps needed to initialize a Trezor device.

The page currently offers two primary options: download the Trezor Suite desktop application or continue in a compatible browser using the web version. Trezor recommends the installed desktop application for the best overall experience.

This makes Trezor.io/Start a useful starting point whether you are setting up a device for the first time or learning how the Trezor ecosystem works.

How to Start Your Trezor Device

1. Visit Trezor.io/Start

Open your browser and enter the official Trezor start address. Check the website address carefully before downloading anything. Trezor specifically warns users about phishing websites that can appear in search results and recommends obtaining Trezor Suite only from official sources.

For the safest route, use Trezor.io/Start directly.

2. Download Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the software interface used to connect and manage a Trezor hardware wallet. The desktop application is available for supported Windows, macOS, and Linux systems. Trezor also provides a web application for compatible browsers.

For more information about downloading and checking the software, visit the Trezor Suite download and verification guide.

When installing wallet software, avoid third-party download sites. Using the official source helps reduce the possibility of installing a modified or fraudulent application.

3. Connect Your Trezor

Once Trezor Suite is installed, connect your hardware wallet using the appropriate cable or connection method for your device. Trezor Suite will guide you through the onboarding process.

Current Trezor setup guides explain that users are guided through connecting and verifying their devices before proceeding with initialization.

The exact screens and connection options can vary according to your Trezor model, so follow the instructions displayed by Trezor Suite rather than relying on instructions intended for another device.

4. Complete the Device Setup

During initialization, Trezor Suite guides you through the necessary setup steps. Depending on the model, this can include checking device authenticity and installing the original firmware.

If you are looking for model-specific instructions, Trezor provides detailed device setup guides covering its supported hardware wallets.

Do not disconnect the device while firmware installation is in progress. Trezor's documentation warns that interrupting firmware installation can cause problems with the device.

Protect Your Wallet Backup

One of the most important stages of setting up a hardware wallet is creating and protecting your wallet backup. This backup allows the wallet to be recovered if access to the physical device is lost.

Write the backup information down carefully and store it somewhere secure and offline. Never share your backup words with another person, website, app, or customer-support representative. Trezor's documentation explains that the wallet backup is created by the device and is not transmitted to your computer or phone during the normal creation process.

For additional information, explore Trezor's backup and recovery guides before transferring significant funds.

Using Trezor Suite After Setup

Once your Trezor is initialized, Trezor Suite becomes the main interface for managing your supported crypto assets. Depending on your device and supported assets, Suite can be used to view your portfolio, manage accounts, send and receive transactions, swap assets, and adjust application or device settings.

You can learn more through the Getting to Know Trezor Suite guide.

If you prefer not to install the desktop application, Trezor also provides a web version of Suite. The web application requires a compatible browser and device connection; Trezor notes that Chromium-based browsers support its WebUSB requirements, while Firefox and Safari are not supported for this connection method.

Stay Safe While Setting Up

Security should remain a priority throughout the setup process. Always verify that you are using the official Trezor website and official Trezor Suite software. Be especially cautious of websites or messages asking for your wallet backup, PIN, passwords, or other sensitive information.

Trezor's official guidance emphasizes obtaining Suite from its website or verified sources and being alert to phishing attempts.
