Official Site® | Trézor.io/Start® | Get Started with Trézor

Welcome to the official Trézor.io/Start® portal—the only trusted place to set up your Trézor® hardware wallet. This guide helps you initialize your device safely, install official software, and take full control of your cryptocurrency with industry-leading security.

What Is Trézor.io/Start®?

Trézor.io/Start® is the official onboarding page created by SatoshiLabs for new Trézor users. It provides step-by-step instructions to securely initialize your hardware wallet, install firmware, and connect to Trézor Suite.

Using the official start page protects you from fake software, phishing websites, and unsafe setup methods that could compromise your funds.

Why Start with Trézor®?

Trézor® is a pioneer in hardware wallet security. Unlike online exchanges or software wallets, Trézor stores your private keys offline, keeping them safe from hackers and malware.

• True self-custody of your crypto
• Private keys never leave the device
• Open-source and audited security
• Support for thousands of coins and tokens
• Trusted by millions of users worldwide

Before You Begin

Make sure you have the following before starting setup:

• A new, sealed Trézor® hardware wallet
• A computer (Windows, macOS, or Linux)
• USB cable
• Private, distraction-free environment

Important: Never use a second-hand or pre-initialized Trézor device.

Step-by-Step: Get Started with Trézor

1. Visit the Official Start Page

Open your browser and go to:
Trézor.io/Start®

2. Install Trézor Suite

Trézor Suite is the official app for managing your wallet. It is available as a desktop application or a secure web version.

• Install and update firmware
• Create and manage accounts
• Send and receive cryptocurrency
• Track your portfolio securely

3. Connect Your Trézor Device

Plug your Trézor into your computer and follow the on-screen instructions. All confirmations must be approved directly on the device screen.

4. Install Official Firmware

New devices ship without firmware. Trézor Suite will guide you through installing verified, official firmware to ensure authenticity and protection against tampering.

Create Your Wallet

Choose Create New Wallet. Your private keys are generated securely inside the Trézor device and never touch the internet or your computer.

Not even Trézor can access your funds—only you control them.

Recovery Seed: Your Backup

During setup, Trézor will generate a recovery seed (12, 18, or 24 words). This is the only way to recover your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.

Best Practices

• Write the words down by hand
• Store them offline in a secure place
• Never photograph or upload them
• Never share them with anyone

Set a PIN & Optional Passphrase

A PIN protects your Trézor from unauthorized physical access. For advanced users, an optional passphrase adds an extra layer of protection and enables hidden wallets.

Using Trézor Suite After Setup

Once setup is complete, you can:

• Add Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other crypto accounts
• Send and receive assets securely
• Verify addresses on the device screen
• Connect to Web3 and DeFi apps safely

Security Tips

• Bookmark official Trézor websites
• Keep firmware and Trézor Suite updated
• Ignore emails asking for recovery words
• Always confirm transactions on the device

Trézor will never ask for your recovery seed.

Final Thoughts

Trézor.io/Start® is the safest and only recommended way to get started with your Trézor® hardware wallet. By following the official setup process, you ensure true self-custody and long-term protection of your digital assets.

Your keys. Your crypto. Your control.
