Getting Started with Trezor: A Step-by-Step Guide

Welcome to Trezor.io/start, your go-to resource for setting up your new Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you're new to cryptocurrency or a seasoned investor, this guide will walk you through the simple process of securing your digital assets with Trezor—the most trusted name in crypto security.

Why Set Up a Trezor Wallet?

Before diving into the setup, let’s quickly recap why Trezor is the best choice for safeguarding your crypto:

✅ Unhackable Cold Storage – Private keys stay offline, away from malware and phishing attacks. ✅ User-Controlled Funds – You own your keys, unlike exchange wallets. ✅ Supports 1,000+ Cryptocurrencies – Bitcoin, Ethereum, stablecoins, and more. ✅ Open-Source & Transparent – Audited by security experts worldwide.

Now, let’s get your Trezor up and running!

Step 1: Unbox & Connect Your Trezor

1. Purchase from Trezor.io (Avoid third-party sellers to prevent tampering).
2. Unbox your device – You’ll find:
   • Trezor hardware wallet (Model T or Safe 3)
   • USB-C cable
   • Recovery seed cards
   • Quick start guide
3. Connect to your computer via USB and go to Trezor.io/start.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official app to manage your crypto securely.

• Download for Windows, Mac, or Linux.
• Web Version also available (but desktop app is more secure).

Step 3: Initialize Your Device

1. Open Trezor Suite and select "Setup new device."
2. Choose your Trezor model (Trezor Safe 3 / Trezor Model T).
3. Install latest firmware (critical for security updates).

Step 4: Set Up Your Wallet

A. Create a Secure PIN

• The PIN prevents unauthorized access.
• Enter it on your Trezor screen (not your computer).

B. Backup Your Recovery Seed (MOST IMPORTANT!)

• Your 12 or 24-word recovery phrase is your last line of defense.
• Write it down manually on the included card (never store digitally).
• Verify the seed by re-entering the words.

⚠️ Never share your seed! Trezor will NEVER ask for it.

Step 5: Start Using Your Trezor

Now you’re ready to:

• Receive Crypto – Share your wallet address safely.
• Send Crypto – Confirm transactions on your Trezor screen.
• Explore Trezor Suite – Track portfolio, buy/sell coins, and more.
