Begin Your Trezor Setup Journey
Trezor ensures that your digital assets are protected through top-grade hardware security. This setup guide will help you initialize your device, verify authenticity, and create your recovery phrase — all while keeping your private keys offline and secure.
Step 1 — Connect Your Trezor Device
Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer or smartphone. Visit trezor.io/start and select your Trezor model to start the setup process. Always ensure you are on the official Trezor website to prevent phishing risks.
Step 2 — Install Trezor Suite
Download and install Trezor Suite — the official app for managing your Trezor hardware wallet. It provides a simple and secure dashboard to manage your crypto portfolio, check balances, and verify transactions directly on your device’s screen.
Step 3 — Secure Your Recovery Seed
During setup, your Trezor will display a 12 or 24-word recovery phrase. This seed is your ultimate backup — write it down on paper or use a metal backup plate, and store it offline. Never take digital photos or share it online; it’s the only way to recover your wallet.
Step 4 — Verify Firmware & Authenticity
Confirm that your firmware is genuine using Trezor Suite’s built-in verification. Trezor’s signed firmware ensures no third-party tampering. Keep your device updated regularly to stay protected from security vulnerabilities.
Step 5 — Start Managing Your Crypto
Once setup is complete, you can add cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others. Manage your assets easily with Trezor Suite, send and receive crypto, or explore integrations with DeFi and staking platforms — all with hardware-level protection.
