You've taken the first step towards true financial sovereignty. This guide will walk you through initializing your Trezor hardware wallet, installing Trezor Suite, and securing your assets offline.
In a world of digital threats, software wallets simply aren't enough. Trezor invented the hardware wallet industry to provide a safe haven for your coins. By keeping your private keys offline, Trezor ensures that your funds are immune to remote attacks, malware, and phishing attempts.
When you visit Trezor.io/start, you are initiating a protocol that separates your sensitive data from the internet, giving you the peace of mind that comes with true ownership.
Your private keys never leave the device. They are isolated from online vulnerabilities.
Lost device? No problem. Restore your entire wallet on a new device using your seed phrase.
Follow these critical steps to ensure your device is authentic and your funds are secure.
Before connecting anything, inspect the packaging. Your Trezor should arrive with a holographic seal over the USB port (Model T) or on the box opening (Model One). If this seal is broken or looks tampered with, contact support immediately.
Navigate to the official download page. Trezor Suite is the interface you will use to manage your portfolio. It is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.
Download AppConnect your Trezor to your computer using the provided USB cable. Open Trezor Suite. The app will detect your device and prompt you to install the latest firmware. This ensures you have the latest security patches.
Select "Create New Wallet". Your device will generate a unique Recovery Seed (12 to 24 words). Write these down on the provided recovery cards. Do not take a photo or type them into a computer. This physical backup is your only way to recover funds if the device is lost.
Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, XRP, Cardano, and over 1000+ other coins and tokens from a single interface.
Use your Trezor as a hardware security key for your Google, GitHub, and Dropbox accounts for unphishable 2FA.
Connect your Trezor Model T to compatible Android devices to manage your crypto on the go.
(Model T only) Split your recovery seed into multiple unique shares for distributed security redundancy.
