Trezor.io/Start® | Starting™ Up Your Device | Trezór®

Welcome to the official getting started guide for your Trezór® hardware wallet. Whether you're using the Trezór® Model One or the advanced Trezór® Model T, this step-by-step guide will walk you through the process of setting up your device safely using the official process at Trezor.io/Start®.

What is Trezór®?

Trezór® is a hardware wallet designed to protect your cryptocurrencies and digital assets from hackers, malware, and phishing attacks. By storing your private keys offline, the Trezór® wallet gives you full control over your funds while keeping them safe from online threats.

Step 1: Check the Packaging

Start by inspecting the Trezór® box. Ensure the security seal is unbroken and the device looks untampered. Inside the package, you should find your Trezór® hardware wallet, a USB cable, recovery seed cards, instructions, and Trezór® stickers. If anything looks suspicious, stop and contact official support.

Step 2: Go to Trezor.io/Start®

Using a trusted and secure computer, open your browser and navigate to Trezor.io/Start®. This is the official setup page for initializing your Trezór® wallet. You’ll be guided through downloading the Trezór® Suite software — the only application you should use with your device.

Step 3: Install Trezór® Suite

Trezór® Suite is the official desktop app that allows you to manage your cryptocurrencies. It's available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. After installing it, launch the app and follow the on-screen instructions. You will be prompted to connect your Trezór® using the provided USB cable.

Step 4: Create a New Wallet

When prompted, choose to create a new wallet. The Trezór® device will generate a unique recovery seed — a list of 12, 18, or 24 words. This seed is the only backup to your wallet and must be written down exactly as shown. Use the provided recovery card or a safe offline method to record it.

Step 5: Confirm Your Recovery Seed

The setup process will ask you to verify the recovery words by selecting them in the correct order. This ensures you have written them down properly. Never store your recovery seed digitally or online. Anyone with access to your seed can access your funds.

Step 6: Choose a PIN Code

Next, you’ll be asked to set up a PIN code. This code protects your device if it’s lost or stolen. Make sure your PIN is easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess. Avoid using birth years, repeated numbers, or simple sequences.

Step 7: Access Trezór® Suite Dashboard

Once your device is initialized, you will be directed to the Trezór® Suite dashboard. From here, you can manage different cryptocurrencies, monitor balances, send and receive crypto, and even explore features like staking, labeling, and transaction history — all secured by your hardware wallet.

Step 8: Receive Crypto to Your Wallet

To receive funds, select the cryptocurrency and click "Receive" in the Suite. A wallet address will be displayed on both your computer screen and Trezór® device. Always verify the address on the Trezór® screen before sharing it. This ensures it has not been tampered with by malware.
