Trézor.io/Start® | Starting Up Your Device – Trézor® Official Guide

When it comes to owning cryptocurrency, one of the most important decisions you can make is how to secure your digital assets. With the rise in cyber threats and exchange hacks, keeping your private keys safe is essential. That’s where Trézor® comes in—an industry-leading hardware wallet designed to protect your crypto while giving you full ownership.

To get started securely, the first step is visiting the official setup portal: Trézor.io/Start. This guide will walk you through the complete process of setting up your Trézor device, creating your wallet, and ensuring top-level protection for your funds.

🔐 Why Trézor.io/Start® Is the Official Starting Point

When setting up a hardware wallet, it’s crucial to begin from a trusted and secure source. Trézor.io/Start® is the only official onboarding website for Trézor devices. From here, you can:

• Download the official Trézor Suite application
• Follow secure, step-by-step setup instructions
• Get firmware updates directly from the manufacturer
• Access customer support and educational resources

Using Trézor.io/Start helps protect you from counterfeit apps and phishing websites that aim to steal your recovery phrase or personal data.

📦 Inside the Box: What You Receive

When you receive your Trézor hardware wallet (either Trézor Model One or Trézor Model T), it should include:

• The Trézor device
• USB-C or micro-USB cable
• Recovery seed cards (for writing down your 12- or 24-word seed)
• Instruction manual
• Trézor holographic security seals on the packaging

🚨 Important: If your device arrives with a pre-written recovery seed, do not use it. Only you should generate and know the recovery phrase.

🛠️ Step-by-Step Setup: Getting Started with Trézor

1. Visit Trézor.io/Start

Open your browser and go to https://trezor.io/start. Choose your model (Model One or Model T) and follow the corresponding instructions.

2. Download Trézor Suite

Trézor Suite is the official desktop app for interacting with your wallet. It offers a secure, user-friendly interface for:

• Initial setup
• Sending and receiving crypto
• Portfolio tracking
• Buying, exchanging, and managing crypto assets

Trézor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

🛑 Only download Trézor Suite from Trézor.io. Avoid third-party sites or app stores.

3. Connect and Initialize Your Device

Plug in your Trézor via USB and launch Trézor Suite. Then:

• Install the latest firmware (if prompted)
• Choose “Create new wallet”
• Your device will generate a 12- or 24-word recovery seed
• Carefully write down the seed on the provided card
• Confirm the seed by re-entering it (Model One) or confirming on-screen (Model T)

🔐 Your recovery seed is the only way to restore your wallet. Never store it digitally or share it online.

4. Set a PIN Code

You’ll be asked to create a secure PIN for your device. This PIN is required every time you use your Trézor and protects your device from unauthorized access.

✅ Using Trézor Suite After Setup

Once your wallet is set up, Trézor Suite becomes your command center. With it, you can:

• Send and receive Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other coins and tokens
• View your portfolio and track market values in real-time
• Exchange or buy crypto using integrated services
• Use Tor mode for extra privacy
• Connect to third-party wallets and dApps (DeFi, Web3, etc.)

Trézor also allows you to enable passphrase protection, adding an extra layer of security by creating “hidden wallets” accessible only with a secondary password.

🧠 Tips for Maximum Security

• Keep your recovery seed offline and in a fireproof, waterproof location
• Enable passphrase protection for added wallet layers
• Always start from Trézor.io/Start to avoid scams
• Never share your seed with anyone—including Trézor support
• Regularly check for firmware updates in Trézor Suite
• Consider using Trézor’s Shamir Backup (Model T) for more advanced backup options
