Why start at Trezor.io/start?
Trezor.io/start is the official entry point for every user who wants to set up a Trezor hardware wallet securely. The page links you to the latest Trezor Suite downloads, official guides, firmware notices, and step-by-step onboarding instructions. Following this official route reduces the risk of tampered software or phishing attempts.
Using Trezor Suite together with your physical Trezor gives you a strong security posture: private keys never leave the device, and every action that moves funds must be confirmed on the device’s screen.
What to expect during setup
Setup is straightforward. You’ll install Trezor Suite on desktop (recommended) or use the web app, connect your device, and choose to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. The entire process typically takes under 20 minutes for most users.
- Connect device, confirm firmware authenticity.
- Create or recover wallet using a recovery seed.
- Set a secure PIN and optional passphrase.
- Add and manage coins in Trezor Suite.
Creating and protecting your recovery seed
During initialization, Trezor Suite will generate your recovery seed — typically 12, 18, or 24 words. This seed is the only reliable backup of your wallet. Write it down on the provided recovery card and store it in a secure, offline location. Consider storing copies in separate, secure locations for redundancy, but never in cloud storage or photos.
The recovery seed allows you to restore access to funds if the device is lost, damaged, or stolen. Treat it with the same care you would afford to the keys to a safe: keep it offline, private, and inaccessible to strangers.
Managing coins with Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite provides a clean dashboard to monitor balances, send and receive crypto, and view transaction history. It supports an expanding list of coins and tokens. Each transaction you initiate in Trezor Suite must be verified on the connected Trezor device, ensuring transaction integrity and protecting against remote manipulation.
Whether you're staking, swapping, or simply storing assets, Trezor Suite centralizes those tasks while leaving the private keys isolated on your device — the core benefit of using a hardware wallet.
