Trezor.io/start — Official Wallet Setup

Welcome to your secure beginning with Trezor. This official setup page will guide you through installing Trezor Suite, connecting your hardware wallet, creating recovery options, and exploring crypto management features. Designed to be colorful, clear, and user-friendly.

Step 1 — Download Trezor Suite

Go to Trezor.io/start and select the correct installer for Windows, macOS, or Linux. For a quick start, you can also access the web version. Always use official sources to avoid phishing risks.

Step 2 — Connect Your Device

Plug in your Trezor with the provided cable. Trezor Suite will detect it automatically and show prompts to begin secure setup.

Step 3 — Set PIN & Recovery Seed

On your device screen, create a PIN and back up your recovery seed (12–24 words). Write it down carefully and store offline. This is your ultimate backup.

Step 4 — Update Firmware

Suite checks your device firmware and helps you update securely if needed. Always verify authenticity before continuing.

Step 5 — Explore Dashboard

Access your portfolio, balances, and transactions in one dashboard. Add multiple accounts and track your assets visually.

Step 6 — Send & Receive

Create a test transaction. Confirm details on your Trezor’s secure screen to protect against tampering.

Step 7 — Advanced Features

Enable passphrase for hidden accounts, use labeling, and try integrated swaps and exchanges for more flexibility.
