Follow this official quick-start guide to initialize your Trezor hardware wallet, safeguard your recovery seed, and take full control of your digital wealth.
Trezor is a pioneer in hardware wallet technology, created to make digital asset security simple, transparent, and user-controlled. Unlike web-based wallets that rely on third-party servers, Trezor keeps your private keys offline. That means no one — not even Trezor — can access your funds.
When you visit Trezor.io/Start, you are greeted with the official onboarding process. It ensures your device firmware is genuine, updated, and ready for secure use. Every step has been designed to help beginners and experts alike protect their cryptocurrencies efficiently.
Your new Trezor will prompt you to install or update firmware. This authenticates your device directly from Trezor’s servers. A verification message confirms that it’s genuine and safe to use.
Once setup begins, your device generates a recovery seed — your most important backup. Write the 12–24 words on paper. Keep it offline and never upload or photograph it. Losing your seed could mean losing access to your crypto permanently.
Set a secure PIN on your device. The PIN prevents unauthorized access even if your Trezor is stolen or misplaced. Combine it with your recovery seed and optional passphrase for layered protection.
Once initialized, open the Trezor Suite interface. You can now send, receive, and manage your crypto assets while keeping private keys securely inside the device. Use the dashboard to view balances, manage multiple coins, and track your portfolio with confidence.
Always download from official sources, keep firmware up-to-date, and avoid entering your seed phrase anywhere online. Remember: your hardware wallet is the vault; your recovery seed is the master key.
Congratulations — you’re ready to explore decentralized finance securely with your Trezor Wallet. Visit trezor.io/start anytime for support, updates, or new features. Your crypto, your keys, your control.
