Initialize Your Device™ | Secure, Back Up & Start Your Crypto Journey
Welcome to the official Trezor.io/start page — the gateway to initializing and securing your hardware wallet. Your Trezor device ensures your cryptocurrencies remain protected, private, and fully under your control. Follow each step carefully to begin your journey toward digital independence and crypto safety.
Start by connecting your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. You’ll see a prompt on your screen guiding you to install Trezor Suite — the official desktop and web interface for managing your digital assets. Always verify that the cable and packaging are original to ensure authenticity.
Visit Trezor.io/Start and download Trezor Suite for your operating system. This application allows you to manage crypto, check balances, receive and send coins, and verify transactions securely. It’s recommended to use the desktop app for the highest level of security.
Once Trezor Suite is installed, follow the on-screen prompts to initialize your device. You can either create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your recovery seed. During setup, your Trezor will generate a secure, offline recovery seed that acts as your master key. Keep this seed private and never share it online.
Your Trezor wallet is designed to eliminate risks associated with online wallets and exchanges. By storing your private keys offline, it ensures you remain the only one with access to your funds. Trezor never stores or transmits private keys — all cryptographic operations occur inside the hardware.
Write down your 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed on paper or a metal backup plate. Store it in a secure location, away from digital threats. Do not take photos or upload it anywhere online. In case your Trezor is lost or damaged, this seed allows you to restore full wallet access.
Trezor is the pioneer of hardware wallets, trusted globally for providing open-source, transparent, and secure solutions. Unlike mobile wallets or browser extensions, Trezor operates fully offline, ensuring maximum safety from hacking or phishing attacks.
Periodically update your device firmware through Trezor Suite to maintain optimal performance and security. Always download firmware directly from Trezor.io and verify update authenticity via the interface before proceeding.
Never share your recovery seed or PIN with anyone claiming to be Trezor support. Trezor will never ask for private information. Always verify website URLs and check for the official lock icon in your browser.
