Welcome to Trezor.io/start, your comprehensive resource for setting up your new Trezor hardware wallet. As the world's original cryptocurrency hardware wallet, Trezor provides unparalleled security for your digital assets. This guide will walk you through the simple process of getting your device ready to use.
Your Trezor hardware wallet is designed to keep your cryptocurrencies safe from online threats. Unlike software wallets or exchange accounts, Trezor stores your private keys offline in a secure environment, ensuring that your assets remain protected even if your computer is compromised.
The setup process begins by connecting your Trezor device to your computer or mobile device using the provided USB cable. You'll then visit the Trezor web interface where you'll be guided through the initialization process. This includes generating a new wallet, setting up a PIN code, and writing down your recovery seed phrase.
Your recovery seed is the most critical component of your wallet security. This 12 to 24-word phrase serves as a backup that can restore access to your funds if your device is ever lost, stolen, or damaged. It's essential to write this phrase down on the provided recovery card and store it in a secure location away from prying eyes.
Once your device is set up, you can use the Trezor Suite application to manage your cryptocurrency portfolio, send and receive transactions, and explore advanced features like coin control and labeling. Trezor supports hundreds of cryptocurrencies and integrates with popular services like Exodus and MetaMask.
Regular firmware updates ensure that your Trezor device remains protected against emerging threats while adding support for new cryptocurrencies and features. The setup process typically takes less than 10 minutes, after which you'll have peace of mind knowing your digital assets are secured by industry-leading technology.
