Introduction to Trezor Start

Trezor.io/Start® is the official platform for initializing and starting your Trezor hardware wallet. This step-by-step guide ensures that your wallet is set up securely, allowing you to manage cryptocurrencies safely while protecting your private keys from online threats and phishing attempts.

Step 1: Unbox and Connect Your Device

Unbox your Trezor hardware wallet carefully. Connect it to your computer or mobile device using the supplied USB cable. The device will display a welcome screen, confirming it is ready for setup.

Step 2: Install Trezor Suite

Step 3: Initialize Your Wallet

• Create a New Wallet: Follow the on-screen instructions to generate a new wallet. You will receive a 24-word recovery seed. Write it down and store it in a secure offline location.
• Recover Existing Wallet: If you have a previously generated recovery seed, choose the recovery option to restore your wallet.
• Set Up PIN: Create a secure PIN. This PIN will be required whenever you connect your Trezor device.
