Trezor: Start Your Secure Crypto Journey

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 are new to cryptocurrency or an experienced holder looking for maximum security, Trezor provides a trusted, open-source solution to protect your crypto safely and independently.

At Trezor, we believe that true financial freedom begins with self-custody. Your keys, your crypto—always.

Why Choose Trezor?

Cryptocurrency empowers individuals by removing the need for centralized financial intermediaries. However, this freedom comes with responsibility. Protecting your private keys is essential, and Trezor was built specifically for that purpose.

The Trezor Advantage

  • Top-Tier Security: Your private keys are stored offline, protected from hackers and malware.
  • Open-Source Transparency: Trezor software and firmware are fully open source and independently audited.
  • User-Friendly Design: Easy setup and intuitive interface for beginners and advanced users alike.
  • Trusted Worldwide: Millions of users rely on Trezor to safeguard their digital wealth.

Getting Started with Trezor

Setting up your Trezor wallet is simple and secure. Follow these steps to get started safely.

Step 1 — Choose Your Trezor Device

Trezor offers hardware wallets designed for different needs:

  • Trezor Model One: A reliable and affordable entry-level hardware wallet.
  • Trezor Model T: A premium device with a touchscreen and expanded features.

Both models offer industry-leading security and support a wide range of cryptocurrencies.

Step 2 — Unbox and Verify Your Device

When your Trezor arrives:

  1. Ensure the package is sealed and untampered.
  2. Confirm that the holographic seal is intact.
  3. Inside the box, you’ll find your Trezor device and recovery seed cards.

If anything appears damaged or altered, do not use the device and contact Trezor support immediately.

Step 3 — Connect to Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official application used to manage your wallet.

  • Visit Trezor.io/start to download Trezor Suite for desktop or use the web version.
  • Connect your Trezor device to your computer via USB.
  • Follow the on-screen instructions to begin setup.

Trezor Suite will guide you step by step, ensuring a smooth and secure experience.

Step 4 — Create Your Wallet and Backup

During setup, your Trezor device will generate a recovery seed—a series of words that serve as the backup to your wallet.

Important Security Rules

  • Write the recovery seed down on the provided card.
  • Store it offline in a safe, secure location.
  • Never take photos or store it digitally.
  • Never share it with anyone.

Your recovery seed is the only way to restore your wallet if your device is lost or damaged.

Step 5 — Set a PIN

To protect your Trezor device from unauthorized access, you’ll create a PIN code.

  • The PIN prevents physical access to your wallet.
  • Multiple incorrect attempts will increase wait times, protecting against brute-force attacks.

Only you should know your PIN.

Manage Your Crypto with Trezor Suite

Once setup is complete, Trezor Suite becomes your control center for managing digital assets.

Supported Cryptocurrencies

Trezor supports hundreds of cryptocurrencies, including:

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

You can view balances, transaction history, and portfolio value in one unified interface.

Send and Receive Crypto Securely

Receiving Crypto

  1. Select the asset in Trezor Suite.
  2. Generate a receiving address.
  3. Verify the address on your Trezor device screen.
  4. Share the address with the sender.

Sending Crypto

  1. Enter the recipient’s address and amount.
  2. Review transaction details carefully.
  3. Confirm the transaction directly on your Trezor device.

Every transaction must be physically approved, ensuring complete transparency and control.

Advanced Features and Privacy

Open-Source Security

Trezor’s open-source approach allows independent security experts to review and audit the code, reinforcing trust and transparency.

Passphrase Protection

Advanced users can enable an optional passphrase for an additional layer of security, creating hidden wallets accessible only with the correct passphrase.

No Account Required

Trezor does not require you to create an account or share personal information. You remain anonymous and in full control of your data.

Stay Safe from Scams

Cybercriminals often impersonate wallet providers. Protect yourself by following these rules:

  • Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed.
  • Only download software from the official Trezor website.
  • Be cautious of emails or messages claiming your wallet is compromised.
  • Always verify addresses on your Trezor device screen.

If anyone asks for your recovery seed, it is a scam.

Restore Your Wallet Anytime

If your Trezor device is lost, stolen, or damaged, your crypto is not lost.

You can:

  • Restore your wallet on a new Trezor device
  • Use your recovery seed to regain access
  • Continue managing your assets securely

This makes your recovery seed the most important part of your setup.

Why Hardware Wallets Matter

Online wallets and exchanges store private keys on internet-connected systems, making them vulnerable to hacks. Trezor hardware wallets keep your keys offline and under your control at all times.

With Trezor:

  • You own your private keys
  • Your assets cannot be frozen by third parties
  • Transactions require your physical approval

Who Is Trezor For?

Trezor is ideal for:

  • Long-term crypto investors
  • Privacy-conscious users
  • Beginners learning self-custody
  • Advanced users seeking transparency and control
  • Anyone who values security over convenience
