To start using your Trezor device, visit Trezor.io/Start® from a secure browser. You will be guided through downloading Trezor Suite, the official wallet interface for managing crypto. The process is beginner-friendly and designed to avoid mistakes that could compromise your security.
Inspect your Trezor package carefully. The seal should be intact and untouched. Counterfeit devices are extremely rare, but checking ensures peace of mind. When unboxed, you should have:
Using the provided USB cable, connect your hardware wallet to your computer or laptop. Modern devices are also compatible with mobile phones via USB-C OTG adapters, but onboarding is easiest on desktop initially.
Trezor Suite is the official management interface for your crypto. It supports:
Trezor.io/Start® directs you to the official download for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Avoid third-party app stores or unrelated links.
Once Trezor Suite is installed, launch the application. It will automatically detect your Trezor and begin the setup assistant.
For security, Trezor devices ship without firmware. Trezor Suite will install the latest verified firmware for you. Firmware provides:
Your recovery seed is the single most important part of your crypto security. It is the master key to your wallet. During setup, your Trezor will display either a 12-, 18-, or 24-word recovery seed.

Trezor Suite is more than just a wallet interface—it’s a full crypto command center. It is secure, modern, and privacy-focused, giving users full control over their assets.
Your entire portfolio is displayed in one clean, colorful interface.
All addresses must be verified directly on your Trezor device for safety.
Swap, buy, and sell supported coins with secure hardware approval.
Suite includes Tor integration and enhanced privacy modes.
A passphrase is an optional “extra word” added to your seed, creating an entirely new hidden wallet. Only users who know the passphrase can access it.
Shamir backup splits your recovery seed into multiple shares. You decide how many shares are needed to restore the wallet. This increases safety for long-term storage or inheritance planning.
All sensitive operations happen inside the Trezor—never on your computer. Even if your PC is infected, attackers cannot move your funds without physical confirmation.
Trezor became the world’s first hardware wallet in 2014, and today remains a leader in open-source crypto security. Its transparency, verifiable code, and strong community make it a top choice for both beginners and advanced users.
