Getting™ Started®® | Trézor.io/Start®

Entering the world of digital-asset self-custody begins with one important decision: choosing a secure way to manage your wallet. A Trezor hardware wallet provides a dedicated device for handling wallet operations while helping keep sensitive information protected from an internet-connected computer.

Whether you are setting up your first hardware wallet or becoming familiar with a new Trezor model, starting from the official setup instructions is an important first step. Visit Trezor.io/start and use the instructions provided for your device.

01 — Start at the Right Place

Before connecting your wallet, make sure you are using the genuine Trezor website. Search results and unofficial pages can sometimes contain misleading information, so checking the website address carefully is an important security habit.

The official Trezor.io/start setup page provides the appropriate starting point for getting your device ready. Follow the instructions displayed there rather than combining instructions from unrelated websites.

A few extra seconds spent verifying the source can help you avoid unnecessary security risks.

02 — Prepare Your Device

Place your Trezor device somewhere comfortable and use a computer or supported environment that you trust. Connect the device according to the instructions shown during setup.

Your Trezor will guide you through the initialization process. Depending on the device model and current software, the screens and steps may vary.

Pay attention to each message displayed by the device. When security information needs to be confirmed, rely on the device itself and follow the official instructions carefully.

03 — Secure Your Recovery Information

The recovery backup deserves special attention. It is an essential part of wallet recovery and should be handled with the same care as any other highly sensitive wallet information.

Write down your recovery information exactly as instructed. Store it in a secure location that is protected from unauthorized access, loss, or damage.

Never share your recovery words with another person. Do not photograph them, upload them to cloud storage, or enter them into an unknown website.

A legitimate support representative should not ask you to reveal your complete recovery phrase.

04 — Finish the Configuration

After completing the required initialization steps, review your device configuration before moving forward. Make sure you understand how your wallet backup is stored and how your device security features work.

If you need to return to the setup instructions, Trezor.io/start can be used as your official reference point.

Avoid downloading wallet-related software from advertisements, unknown websites, or links sent through unsolicited messages. Always verify that you are using an authentic Trezor source.

05 — Explore Your Wallet

Once your device is configured, you can begin exploring the wallet environment and the features available for your particular Trezor model.

You may use compatible Trezor software and supported services to view wallet information and manage supported digital assets. The available functionality can change as software and supported assets evolve.

For official onboarding information, you can revisit Trezor.io/start whenever necessary.

Security First, Always

A hardware wallet is only one part of a secure self-custody strategy. Good security also depends on the choices you make every day.

Keep your device physically protected, use only trusted software, verify website addresses, and remain cautious about unexpected messages asking for wallet information.

Most importantly, keep your recovery backup private. If someone obtains it, the security of the wallet may be compromised.

Your First Step Starts Here

Getting started with Trezor does not have to be complicated. The key is to approach the setup patiently, use official resources, and understand the importance of every security step.

When you're ready to begin or need to review the setup process, Trezor.io/start gives you a clear starting point for your Trezor journey.

A careful setup today can create better security habits for everything you do with your digital assets tomorrow.
