Welcome to Trezor Start
Setting up your Trezor wallet is the first step to protecting your cryptocurrencies from online threats. Trezor provides a hardware-based solution for storing your private keys offline, giving you complete control over your digital funds. Whether you’re a new user or an experienced investor, this guide will help you set up your wallet securely and confidently.
How to Set Up Your Trezor Wallet
Step 1: Unbox Your Trezor Device
Carefully open your Trezor package and ensure all components are present. Check the holographic seal for tampering— your safety begins with verifying authenticity.
Step 2: Visit the Official Setup Page
Go to trezor.io/start and choose your device model. Download and install the official Trezor Suite software, which is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Step 3: Connect and Initialize
Plug your Trezor device into your computer using the provided cable. Follow the on-screen instructions to install firmware and create a new wallet. Choose a secure PIN and record your recovery seed phrase on paper—never store it digitally.
Step 4: Backup and Verify
Your 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed is your only backup. Store it securely offline in a safe location. Trezor will verify your recovery phrase to ensure accuracy before activating your wallet.
Step 5: Add and Manage Your Coins
Once setup is complete, open Trezor Suite to manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other assets. You can track balances, send transactions, and connect with decentralized apps—all while keeping your keys offline.
