Trezor® Wallet Setup Guide – Start Securely at trezor.io/start™

Setting up a Trezor® hardware wallet is one of the smartest moves you can make to protect your cryptocurrency. By visiting trezor.io/start™, you ensure that your digital assets are stored offline, safe from hacks, malware, and phishing attacks. This guide walks you through the complete setup process step by step, making it simple even for first-time users.

What Is Trezor® and Why Use It?

Trezor® is a trusted hardware wallet designed to give you full control over your crypto private keys. Unlike online wallets or exchanges, Trezor® stores sensitive data offline, reducing the risk of theft. Whether you hold Bitcoin®, Ethereum®, or other supported assets, Trezor® provides enterprise-grade security with user-friendly design.

Key benefits include:
✔ Offline key storage
✔ Open-source transparency
✔ PIN & passphrase protection
✔ Compatibility with Trezor Suite™

Step 1: Visit trezor.io/start™

Begin by opening your browser and navigating to trezor.io/start™. This is the official and only recommended setup page. Avoid third-party links or ads to prevent phishing scams. Once there, select your Trezor® device model (Trezor Model One® or Trezor Model T®).

Step 2: Connect Your Trezor® Device

Plug your Trezor® device into your computer using the provided USB cable. You’ll be prompted to install Trezor Suite™, the official desktop app used to manage your wallet. Trezor Suite™ is available for Windows®, macOS®, and Linux®.

After installation, launch the app and allow it to detect your device.

Step 3: Install Firmware (If Required)

If your Trezor® is brand new, it will not have firmware installed. Trezor Suite™ will guide you through installing the latest official firmware. This ensures your device is running secure, up-to-date software approved by SatoshiLabs®.

⚠ Never install firmware from unofficial sources.

Step 4: Create a New Wallet

Choose “Create New Wallet” in Trezor Suite™. You’ll be given a recovery seed (12 or 24 words, depending on your choice). This recovery seed® is the most important part of your wallet.

✔ Write it down on paper
✔ Store it offline
✔ Never photograph or share it

If your device is lost or damaged, this seed™ is the only way to recover your funds.

Step 5: Set a PIN & Optional Passphrase®

Create a strong PIN to protect physical access to your Trezor®. For advanced security, you can also enable a passphrase®, which adds an extra layer of protection beyond the recovery seed.

Step 6: Start Using Your Trezor®

Once setup is complete, you can send, receive, and manage cryptocurrencies directly in Trezor Suite™. You can also connect your Trezor® to third-party wallets and DeFi platforms while keeping your private keys secure.

Final Thoughts

By setting up your wallet through trezor.io/start™, you take full ownership of your crypto assets. Trezor® combines simplicity, transparency, and industry-leading security® to help you invest with confidence. Always keep your recovery seed safe, update firmware regularly, and trust only official Trezor® channels.
