Welcome — Start with Confidence
Trezor.io/Start is your first step to turning a hardware device into a secure crypto vault. Whether you’re using Trezor Model One, Model T, Safe series or another supported device, the Trezor Start process guides you to unbox, connect, and securely initialize your Trezor. This Trezor Start content focuses on easy-to-follow steps, practical security tips, and clear reminders so you can finish the setup with confidence and keep your crypto safe.
Unbox & Inspect — Safety First
When you unbox your hardware wallet, always inspect packaging and device for tamper evidence. Genuine devices arrive sealed and include recovery seed cards, a USB cable, and simple instructions. If anything looks tampered with, contact support and do not proceed. This early check is a critical Trezor Start habit that preserves device integrity and ensures a secure start.
Connect & Open Trezor.io/Start
Connect your Trezor to a trusted computer using the supplied cable. Then visit Trezor.io/Start or download the Trezor Suite app for a guided desktop setup. Trezor.io/Start helps you decide whether to continue in browser (web app) or install Trezor Suite (desktop) for the smoothest experience. Both paths protect private keys by keeping signing on-device.
Install Firmware & Initialize
During the Trezor Start procedure your device may prompt to install official firmware. Always install firmware from official sources and verify the process on-screen. After firmware is installed you’ll be asked to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. Choosing “Create new wallet” will generate a recovery seed — write it down carefully on recommended recovery cards and store it offline.
Recovery Seed & PIN — Your Two Pillars
The recovery seed is the single most important backup for your wallet — without it you cannot recover your funds. During Trezor Start you will be shown the seed words on the device, and you must record them offline. Next, set a strong PIN on your device to prevent unauthorized physical access. These two steps, seed backup and PIN, are central to secure Trezor Start practices.
Verify Device & Confirm Transactions
Always confirm important device information on the device’s own screen during the Trezor Start flow: check the device fingerprint, verify receiving addresses, and approve transactions physically on the device. Trezor Start emphasizes on-device verification — the device is the source of truth and will show the final transaction details before you approve them.
What to Do After Trezor.io/Start
- Transfer small test amounts first to confirm address and flow.
- Store recovery material offline in more than one secure place if necessary.
- Keep firmware and Trezor Suite updated; follow official guidance and release notes.
