Trezor Start — Secure Your Crypto Journey

Welcome to Trezor

Trezor is a world-leading hardware wallet designed to keep your cryptocurrency safe. Your private keys stay offline, providing protection against online threats and hacks.

This guide will take you through each step—from unboxing your Trezor to sending and receiving crypto safely.

Step 1: Visit the Official Trezor Start Page

Navigate to Trezor.io/Start to download the official Trezor Suite application. This ensures you get authentic software for a secure setup.

Tip: Avoid third-party downloads or links. Fake apps can compromise your device security.

Step 2: Unbox and Connect Your Device

Carefully unbox your Trezor device. Connect it to your computer using the provided USB cable. Check that the holographic seal is intact to ensure your device is genuine.

Tip: Use your personal computer for setup. Public computers may expose your device to risks.

Step 3: Download and Install Trezor Suite

Download Trezor Suite for your operating system: Windows, macOS, Linux, or Web. Run the installer and follow the on-screen instructions.

Windows: Run the .exe installer
macOS: Run the .dmg installer
Linux: Use AppImage or package installer
Web: Open Trezor Suite in a supported browser

Step 4: Initialize Your Wallet

Open Trezor Suite and follow the setup wizard. You can create a new wallet or recover an existing wallet using your recovery seed. Set a PIN and optionally add a passphrase for extra security.

Tip: Write your recovery seed on paper and store it offline. Never save it digitally.

Step 5: Add Cryptocurrency Accounts

In Trezor Suite, go to the Accounts section and add wallets for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage, such as Bitcoin, Ethereum, and ERC-20 tokens.

All transactions must be confirmed physically on your device. This ensures your private keys never leave your Trezor.

Step 6: Sending and Receiving Crypto

Enter the recipient’s address and the amount to send.
Verify all transaction details on your Trezor device screen.
Confirm the transaction physically on the device.

Tip: Always double-check addresses. Hardware verification prevents phishing attacks.

Security Best Practices

Always download Trezor Suite from Trezor.io/Start.
Never share your recovery seed or PIN.
Verify all transactions on the device itself.
Keep firmware and Trezor Suite updated.
Use a passphrase for added protection if needed.

Conclusion

Your Trezor is now ready for a secure crypto journey. You can safely send, receive, and store cryptocurrencies knowing that your assets are protected.
