1️⃣ Welcome to Trezor.io/Start — The Official Setup Portal
Trezor.io/Start is the official onboarding page for Trezor Wallets. Whether you are setting up a new Trezor One or Trezor Model T, this page walks you through every step — from installing Trezor Suite to connecting your hardware wallet and securing your recovery seed.
Designed by SatoshiLabs, Trezor wallets provide offline cold storage for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and over 1,000 cryptocurrencies, ensuring that your private keys never leave your device.
2️⃣ Download & Install Trezor Suite
To begin, visit Trezor.io/Start and download the latest version of Trezor Suite. This official software helps you interact with your wallet, manage your crypto portfolio, and perform transactions securely.
- Choose your operating system — Windows, macOS, or Linux.
- Install the app by following the on-screen instructions.
- Connect your Trezor Wallet using a USB cable.
Upon first connection, Trezor Suite will verify your device’s authenticity and offer a firmware update if needed. Always confirm updates only through official Trezor channels.
3️⃣ Create or Recover Your Wallet
Once connected, you can either create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed. During wallet creation, Trezor will generate your recovery phrase — a unique backup key that must be written down and stored offline.
Important: Never share or store your recovery seed online. Trezor devices are built to protect your funds even if your computer is compromised — as long as your seed remains private.
4️⃣ Using Trezor Suite Dashboard
After setup, access the Trezor Suite dashboard — a secure control hub for all your crypto activity. View your portfolio balance, send and receive funds, and explore advanced settings like passphrase protection and multi-account management.
- Monitor real-time portfolio performance.
- Exchange crypto directly through integrated partners.
- Use Trezor Bridge to connect your wallet with browsers and apps like MetaMask.
- Enable Tor connection for privacy-focused transactions.
