Secure Your Crypto Journey with Trezor

Welcome to trezor.io/start, the official starting point for setting up your Trezor hardware wallet and taking full control of your digital assets. Whether you’re new to cryptocurrency or an experienced holder, this page guides you step by step through securing, managing, and growing your crypto safely.

At Trezor, security and self-custody come first. Your private keys are generated and stored offline on your device, meaning only you control your funds—no banks, no third parties, and no compromises.

What Is a Trezor Hardware Wallet?

A Trezor hardware wallet is a physical device designed to keep your cryptocurrency safe from online threats such as malware, phishing attacks, and exchange hacks. Unlike software wallets or exchanges, Trezor stores your private keys in a secure, isolated environment.

With Trezor, you can:

• Securely store cryptocurrencies and digital assets
• Sign transactions offline
• Protect your funds with PINs, passphrases, and recovery backups
• Interact safely with decentralized applications

Getting Started in Minutes

Setting up your Trezor is simple and takes just a few minutes. Follow the steps below to begin your self-custody journey.

Step 1: Connect Your Device

Unbox your Trezor and connect it to your computer or mobile device using the supplied USB cable. Make sure the device packaging was intact and untampered with before use.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Download Trezor Suite, the official app for managing your wallet. Trezor Suite allows you to:

• Manage multiple accounts
• Send and receive crypto securely
• Track your portfolio
• Access advanced privacy and security features

Always download Trezor Suite directly from the official Trezor website to avoid counterfeit software.

Step 3: Create a New Wallet

Once connected, choose Create New Wallet. Your Trezor will generate a unique recovery seed—a list of words that serves as the ultimate backup to your wallet.

Important: Write your recovery seed down on paper and store it securely offline. Never share it with anyone and never store it digitally.

Understanding Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is the most critical part of your wallet security. Anyone with access to it can fully control your funds.

Best practices include:

• Writing it down by hand
• Storing it in a secure, private location
• Never taking photos or screenshots
• Avoiding cloud storage or email

Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed online.

Add an Extra Layer of Security

PIN Protection

Set a strong PIN directly on your Trezor device. This prevents unauthorized access if your device is lost or stolen.

Passphrase (Advanced)

For additional protection, enable a passphrase. This creates a hidden wallet that is accessible only with both your recovery seed and passphrase.

Supported Cryptocurrencies

Trezor supports thousands of coins and tokens across multiple blockchains, including:

• Bitcoin (BTC)
• Ethereum (ETH)
• Litecoin (LTC)
• Cardano (ADA)
• Solana (SOL)
• ERC-20 tokens and more

Support continues to expand through firmware and software updates.

Send, Receive, and Manage Crypto Safely

With Trezor Suite, managing crypto is intuitive and secure.

Receiving Funds

Generate a receive address directly on your Trezor device and verify it on the screen before sharing it.

Sending Funds

Every transaction must be confirmed physically on your Trezor, protecting you from malware or unauthorized transfers.

Portfolio Overview

Track balances, transaction history, and market performance—all while keeping your private keys offline.

Privacy and Transparency

Trezor is built on open-source principles. The firmware and software are publicly auditable, allowing the community to verify the security of the code.

Privacy features include:

• Coin control
• Tor integration (via Trezor Suite)
• Address verification on-device

Keep Your Device Updated

Firmware updates improve security, add new features, and expand coin support. Trezor Suite will notify you when an update is available and guide you safely through the process.

Always verify updates on your device screen before proceeding.

Avoid Common Security Mistakes

To keep your crypto safe:

• Never enter your recovery seed on a website
• Beware of phishing emails or fake support agents
• Always verify URLs and downloads
• Do not buy used hardware wallets

Trezor support will never ask for sensitive information.
