Why Choose a Trezor® Hardware Wallet?
A Trezor® hardware wallet is considered one of the safest ways to store cryptocurrency. Unlike mobile or desktop wallets, your private keys never leave the device.
Key advantages include:
Offline storage for private keys
Protection from malware and hacking attempts
On-device transaction verification
Support for hundreds of cryptocurrencies

What You Need Before Starting
Before visiting Trêzor.io/start®, make sure you have:
A genuine Trezor® hardware wallet
A USB cable
A computer (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
Internet connection
Pen and paper for recovery seed
A private and secure environment
Step 1: Visit the Official Setup Page
Open your browser and go directly to Trêzor.io/start®.
Always double-check the URL spelling to avoid fake websites. Bookmark the official page for future use.
Step 2: Download Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official desktop application used to manage your wallet. It allows you to:
View balances
Send and receive crypto
Install firmware updates
Manage multiple accounts
Download the version suitable for your operating system and install it on your device.
Step 3: Connect Your Trezor Device
Plug your Trezor® device into your computer using the provided USB cable.
Trezor Suite will automatically detect the device and guide you through the next steps.
Step 4: Install Firmware
New Trezor devices usually come without firmware installed.
Follow the on-screen instructions to install the latest official firmware.
Why firmware matters:
Fixes security vulnerabilities
Adds new features
Improves device performance
Never install firmware from unofficial sources.
Step 5: Create or Recover a Wallet
At this stage, you can:
Create a new wallet, or
Recover an existing wallet using a recovery seed
If creating a new wallet, your Trezor® device will generate a unique recovery phrase.
Step 6: Write Down Your Recovery Seed
Your recovery seed is a series of 12 or 24 words shown on the device screen.
Important rules:
Write it on paper only
Never store it digitally
Never share it with anyone
Never enter it on websites or apps
This seed is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
Step 7: Set a Secure PIN
Choose a strong PIN code to protect your device from unauthorized access.
Each wrong attempt increases the delay, making brute-force attacks nearly impossible.
Step 8: Add Cryptocurrency Accounts
After setup, you can add accounts for supported cryptocurrencies such as:
Bitcoin
Ethereum
Litecoin
USDT
Many ERC-20 tokens
Each transaction must be confirmed on the physical device, ensuring maximum security.
Security Best Practices
To stay safe while using Trêzor.io/start®:
