Trezor.io/Start
Your Gateway to Crypto Security
Welcome to the definitive guide for setting up your Trezor hardware wallet. Secure your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other digital assets with the world's most trusted cold storage solution.
Why Start with Trezor?
In an era where digital asset theft is becoming increasingly common, securing your cryptocurrency is not just an option—it's a necessity. Trezor.io/Start is your entry point to the ecosystem of Trezor, the original hardware wallet that revolutionized how we store Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies.
By moving your assets off online exchanges and into a cold storage device like Trezor, you take full ownership of your private keys. As the saying goes, "Not your keys, not your coins." Trezor ensures that your sensitive data never leaves the device, keeping it safe from malware, keyloggers, and hackers.
Getting Started in 6 Simple Steps
Follow this comprehensive walkthrough to initialize your device via Trezor.io/Start and secure your assets.
1. Unbox & Inspect
Before connecting anything, inspect your Trezor device packaging. Ensure the holographic seal is intact and shows no signs of tampering. If the package looks opened, contact support immediately.
2. Visit Trezor.io/Start
Open your browser and navigate to trezor.io/start. This is the only official portal for downloading the companion software. Avoid clicking ads in search results.
3. Install Trezor Suite
Download the Trezor Suite desktop application for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux). This interface allows you to manage your portfolio securely.
4. Initialize Device
Connect your Trezor to your computer using the provided USB cable. Trezor Suite will detect the device and prompt you to install the latest firmware. This ensures you have the latest security patches.
5. Create Recovery Seed
The device will generate a 12 to 24-word recovery seed. Write this down on the provided recovery cards. Never take a photo of it or type it into a computer. This is your only backup.
6. Secure Your Wallet
Set a strong PIN code to protect your device from physical access. You can now start transferring your cryptocurrencies to your new secure cold storage addresses.

Security Best Practices
Owning a hardware wallet is the first step, but maintaining good security hygiene is equally important. Here are critical rules to follow:
- Never share your recovery seed. No support agent will ever ask for it.
- Never enter your seed on a computer. Only enter it directly on the Trezor device itself.
- Verify addresses. Always double-check the address on the device screen before confirming a transaction.
- Keep your PIN private. Cover your hand when entering your PIN if you are in a public place.
