Official Site® | Trezor.io/start - Trezor™
Congratulations on taking control of your crypto security with a Trezor hardware wallet! trezor.io/start is the official entry point provided by Trezor (SatoshiLabs) to safely set up your device using the Trezor Suite app — the secure desktop, web, and mobile companion for managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other cryptocurrencies.
Trezor keeps your private keys offline ("cold storage"), protecting them from online hacks, phishing, and malware. Setup takes about 15 minutes and gives you full self-custody of your assets.
Quick Setup Overview
- Visit the official page → Go to https://trezor.io/start in your browser (always type or bookmark it — never click links from emails or social media).
- Download Trezor Suite → Choose the desktop app for the best experience (Windows, macOS, Linux) or continue in the browser for the web version. Mobile support is available for compatible models (e.g., Trezor Safe 7 via Bluetooth).
- Connect your device → Plug in your Trezor (Model One, Model T, Safe 3, Safe 5, Safe 7, etc.) using the provided USB-C cable.
- Follow on-screen guidance → Trezor Suite will:
- Perform an authenticity check to verify your device is genuine.
- Install/update firmware if needed (always confirm on-device).
- Guide you to create a new wallet or recover an existing one.
- Generate your wallet backup (recovery seed — 12, 18, or 24 words, or advanced SLIP39 shares on supported models).
- Set a strong PIN.
- Secure your backup → Write down the recovery words exactly on the provided card(s). Store them offline in multiple safe locations (never digitally, never share).
- Complete setup → Activate coins/tokens and you're ready to receive, send, swap, or buy crypto securely.
You're now set to transfer assets from exchanges (use the official guide at trezor.io/learn/a/move-crypto-to-trezor) and manage everything with on-device confirmation for every transaction.

Important Disclaimer & Security Reminder
Trezor provides best-in-class open-source hardware wallet security, but no system is 100% risk-free. You alone are responsible for safely storing your recovery seed — losing it means permanent loss of funds with no recovery possible from Trezor or anyone else. Never share your seed, PIN, or passphrase with anyone (including "support" staff — Trezor never asks for them). Beware of phishing, fake websites, and unsolicited messages. Only download Trezor Suite from trezor.io/start or the official site. Crypto involves financial risk; only invest what you can afford to lose.
