Trezor.io/Start® – Starting Up Your Device – Trezor®®

Welcome to Trezor.io/Start®, the official starting point for setting up your Trezor® hardware wallet. Whether you have a Trezor Model T or a Trezor Model One, this guide will walk you through the process of getting your device up and running safely and securely.

🔐 Why Use a Trezor?

Trezor is one of the world’s leading hardware wallets. It keeps your private keys completely offline, giving you full control of your crypto assets. With Trezor, you don’t just own crypto — you secure it.

Benefits include:

  • Maximum security for your coins
  • Protection against hacks and phishing
  • Support for 1000+ cryptocurrencies
  • Easy-to-use software interface (Trezor Suite)

📦 What You Need Before Starting

To begin setup, make sure you have:

  1. Your Trezor device (Model T or Model One)
  2. A USB cable to connect to your computer
  3. A computer with internet access
  4. A pen and paper (to write down your recovery seed)

🚀 How to Start: Step-by-Step Setup

1. Visit the Official Website

Go to https://trezor.io/start

This is the only safe place to download the Trezor Suite or follow setup instructions.

2. Connect Your Trezor

Use the USB cable to plug your Trezor into your computer.

3. Install Trezor Suite

  • Click the “Download Trezor Suite” button
  • Install the app on your Windows, macOS, or Linux computer
  • Open the Trezor Suite application

4. Follow the On-Screen Instructions

The Suite will automatically detect your device and guide you through:

  • Installing the latest firmware
  • Creating a new wallet
  • Generating your recovery seed (write this down and keep it safe)

⚠️ Never take a photo or store the seed digitally.

5. Set a Strong PIN

Choose a secure PIN to protect your device. You will enter this each time you plug in your Trezor.

🛡️ Your Recovery Seed = Your Crypto

During setup, your Trezor will show you a 12, 18, or 24-word recovery phrase. This is the only backup of your wallet. If your Trezor is lost or damaged, you can recover your crypto using this seed on any Trezor device.

  • Do not share it
  • Do not store it online
  • Keep it in a safe, private place

✅ After Setup

Once your wallet is set up, you can:

  • Send and receive crypto
  • Track your portfolio
  • Buy, sell, or exchange coins
  • Use advanced tools like Tor and Coin Control
  • Add passphrases for extra security

Everything is done through the Trezor Suite interface.
