GET STARTED WITH YOUR NEW TREZOR
Welcome to the safest way to secure your cryptocurrency.
Your Trezor hardware wallet gives you full control of your digital assets with top-tier security, simple setup, and complete peace of mind. Follow the steps below to start using your device safely and confidently.
1. Go to the Official Trezor Start Page
Always begin at the official Trezor website.
This ensures you download authentic software and avoid phishing risks.
Official start page:
➡️ trezor.io/start
2. Unbox Your Trezor
Inside the box, you will find:
Trezor hardware wallet
USB cable
Recovery seed cards
User guide
Stickers
Make sure the hologram seal is intact. If it looks tampered with, stop and contact support.
3. Connect Your Trezor Device
Plug your Trezor into your computer using the supplied USB cable.
Your device will power on automatically and display the initial setup instructions.
4. Install Trezor Suite (Recommended)
Trezor Suite is the official app for managing your crypto safely.
Download it from:
➡️ trezor.io/suite
Choose your operating system (Windows, macOS, Linux) and install the app.
You can also use Trezor Suite Web directly in your browser if you prefer.
5. Create Your New Wallet
In Trezor Suite:
Select Create a new wallet
Choose Standard or Passphrase-protected wallet
Confirm each step on your Trezor device
Your private keys are generated and stored only inside your Trezor—never on your computer.
6. Back Up Your Recovery Seed
Your Trezor will display a 12-, 18-, or 24-word recovery seed.
This is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
Important rules:
Write the words on the provided recovery cards
Keep them offline and in a safe place
Never type them into a computer or phone
Never share them with anyone
Trezor and support teams will never ask for your seed
This is the most critical step in the entire setup process.
7. Set Your PIN
Choose a secure PIN to protect your device.
Your PIN prevents unauthorized access even if someone physically steals your device.
8. Add Accounts and Receive Crypto
Inside Trezor Suite:
Add the coins you want to manage
Generate new receiving addresses
Always verify the address on your Trezor device screen before sending crypto to it
Your device will confirm every important action.
9. Send Crypto Safely
To make a transaction:
Select Send
Enter the receiving address
Choose network fees
Confirm the transaction on your Trezor device itself
This ensures that no malware on your computer can sign transactions.
