Trezor.io/Start | (Official) | Congrats on Your New Trezor 🎉

Congratulations on your new Trezor hardware wallet! You’ve just taken a major step toward taking full control of your crypto assets. With your Trezor device, you now own one of the most secure tools in the world for managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other digital currencies.

To get started quickly and safely, go to Trezor.io/Start—the official onboarding hub from Trezor¼. This page will guide you through setting up your wallet, securing your recovery seed, and connecting to the powerful Trezor Suite application.

Whether you’re brand new to crypto or a seasoned pro, this guide will help you understand what Trezor is, how to set it up, and why it’s considered a gold standard in digital asset protection.

🚀 Why Trezor?

Trezor is one of the first and most trusted hardware wallets on the market. Unlike web or mobile wallets that store private keys online, Trezor keeps your keys completely offline—away from hackers, malware, and phishing attacks.

With Trezor, you are your own bank. Your assets are stored safely on your device, and transactions are only approved when you physically confirm them.

Key benefits of Trezor:

  • Military-grade security for your crypto
  • Open-source, transparent firmware and software
  • Works with Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Solana, and 9,000+ assets
  • PIN protection, passphrase support, and optional hidden wallets
  • Easy-to-use Trezor Suite for managing and tracking your portfolio

📩 What’s in the Box?

Depending on your model (Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T), your box typically includes:

  • 1 Trezor device
  • USB cable (Type-A or Type-C)
  • Recovery seed cards (for your backup phrase)
  • Instruction manual
  • Trezor stickers

Important: Before setting up, inspect the packaging to make sure it hasn’t been tampered with. The box should be sealed, and your device should arrive unused.

đŸ› ïž How to Set Up Your Device (Step-by-Step)

Step 1: Go to Trezor.io/Start

Using a secure browser, visit Trezor.io/Start. This is the official starting point for setup. Never trust third-party websites for device initialization.

Step 2: Download Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is your all-in-one desktop app for:

  • Sending and receiving crypto
  • Viewing your portfolio
  • Exchanging assets
  • Managing security settings

Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Simply install it from the official site.

Step 3: Plug in Your Device

Connect your Trezor using the included cable. The app will detect the device and prompt you to update the firmware if necessary.

Step 4: Create a Wallet or Recover an Existing One

  • New user? Choose “Create new wallet.”
  • Have a backup? Choose “Recover wallet” and enter your seed phrase.

Step 5: Write Down Your Recovery Seed

This is the most critical step. Trezor will show you a 12-, 18-, or 24-word recovery phrase. Write it down on the card provided. This phrase is the only way to recover your assets if your device is lost or damaged.

Never:

  • Take a screenshot
  • Store it on your phone or computer
  • Share it with anyone

Keep it safe, offline, and preferably in multiple secure locations.

🔐 Advanced Features for Extra Security

Trezor offers more than just simple storage:

  • Passphrase Protection: Add a custom word or sentence to your seed to create a “hidden wallet.”
  • PIN Lockout: Limits brute-force access attempts.
  • Shamir Backup (Model T only): Split your seed into multiple parts—store them in separate locations for higher security.
  • Tor Support: Route your connection through Tor for enhanced privacy.

All of these features are accessible through Trezor Suite under “Settings.”

đŸ’Œ Supported Assets & Integrations

Trezor supports:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • ERC-20 tokens (USDC, LINK, UNI, etc.)
  • Litecoin (LTC), Cardano (ADA), Solana (SOL), and many more

It also integrates with third-party apps like:

  • MetaMask (for DeFi access)
  • Exodus wallet
  • Electrum
  • MyEtherWallet

With a few clicks, you can connect your Trezor to DeFi, NFTs, and decentralized exchanges—all while keeping your keys safe.

🧠 Best Practices & Tips

  • Buy Only From Official Sources: Always purchase your device from Trezor.io or verified resellers.
  • Don’t Share Your Seed: Not even with Trezor Support.
  • Avoid Public Wi-Fi During Setup
  • Use a Metal Backup: Fireproof options like Cryptosteel or Billfodl protect your seed from damage.
  • Regularly Check for Firmware Updates: Updates improve performance and security.

đŸ§© Troubleshooting Common Issues

Trezor not recognized?

  • Try a different USB port or cable
  • Ensure your Trezor Suite is up-to-date

Lost your recovery phrase?

  • Unfortunately, there’s no way to recover funds without the seed. Always create multiple physical copies and store them separately.

Need help?

  • Visit Trezor Support or use the in-app help center. Never trust third-party “support” messages or emails.
