Quick Setup — 6 clear steps

  • 1

    Unbox & Inspect

    Open your Trezor box and check the tamper-evident seal. Only proceed if the packaging is intact. For trezor.io/start, always use the official site to download companion apps.

  • 2

    Install Bridge or Suite

    Go to trezor.io/start from a trusted browser and install the recommended Trezor Suite or Bridge software. Keep your OS up to date for the best security.

  • 3

    Create a New Wallet

    Follow on-screen instructions to create a new wallet on the device. Choose a PIN and write down the recovery seed on the supplied card — never store it digitally.

  • 4

    Backup Your Seed

    Write the seed words on paper or a metal backup. Keep multiple secure copies in separate locations. This is the only way to recover funds if the device is lost.

  • 5

    Verify & Test

    Verify the wallet by receiving a small test transaction. Confirm addresses on the device screen and not just in the browser.

    Advanced: Passphrase & Security

    Consider adding a passphrase for extra protection. Learn about advanced recovery and multi-sig in official docs on trezor.io/start.

Why Trezor?

Hardware-first security

Private keys never leave the device. This isolation protects your crypto from hacks and malware on your computer.

Open source & transparent

Firmware and apps are audited and built with transparency — an industry standard for trust.

Wide coin support

Supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, many ERC-20 tokens, and other major chains — managed through the official apps.

Recovery & resilience

Durable backups and clear recovery flows mean you can restore funds even after loss or damage.

Practical Tips

  1. Always access trezor.io/start manually; avoid search-engine links for downloads.
  2. Never share your recovery seed, not even with support staff.
  3. Keep firmware updated. Read release notes before major upgrades.
