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

Welcome to Trezor.io/Start®, the official and secure gateway to setting up your Trezor® hardware wallet. Whether you're a first-time cryptocurrency user or a seasoned investor, starting with the right security foundation is essential — and that's exactly what Trezor delivers. At Trezor.io/Start, you'll be guided step-by-step through the setup process to ensure your assets are safely protected from digital threats.

Why Choose Trezor®?

Trezor® was the first hardware wallet ever created and remains one of the most trusted in the crypto world. Designed by SatoshiLabs, it allows users to safely store their private keys offline, keeping them safe from hackers, malware, phishing attempts, and compromised devices.

By starting your Trezor at Trezor.io/Start, you're taking the first step toward true financial self-custody. Whether you’ve purchased the Trezor Model One, Trezor Model T, or the newer Trezor Safe 3, this setup process is critical to the long-term safety of your digital assets.

Step 1: Visit the Official Site – Trezor.io/Start®

Your setup begins at the official website: https://trezor.io/start. It’s important to only use the official link to avoid third-party websites or scams that may attempt to trick you into downloading malicious software or firmware.

Once there, choose your device model (Model One, Model T, or Safe 3). You'll be directed to a customized setup experience tailored for your specific hardware.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official software interface for managing your hardware wallet. It is available as a desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Trezor Suite offers:

After downloading and installing Trezor Suite, you’re ready to connect your device and start the initialization process.

Step 3: Connect and Initialize Your Device

Now it’s time to plug in your Trezor device via USB. Follow these important steps:

  1. Connect your Trezor to your computer.
  2. Open Trezor Suite and allow it to detect your device.
  3. If prompted, install the latest firmware. This ensures your device is secure and up to date.
  4. Choose whether to create a new wallet or recover an existing one.

This is a critical stage, as you’ll generate your Recovery Seed, a unique 12-, 18-, or 24-word phrase used to back up your wallet. This is your master key — write it down and store it offline in a secure place. Never share it or store it digitally.

Step 4: Set Security Features

After generating your wallet, the next step is to add security layers:

These tools make your Trezor even more secure and private, giving you confidence even in worst-case scenarios like device loss or theft.
