Trezor.io/Start | Starting Up Your® Device

Step 1 — Connect Your Trezor Device

Begin by connecting your new Trezor hardware wallet to your computer using the provided USB cable. Visit trezor.io/start to access the official setup interface. The system will automatically detect your device model (Trezor Model T or Trezor One) and guide you through the initialization process.

Ensure your device screen shows the Trezor logo.
If prompted, confirm the connection on your Trezor device.
Follow only on-screen steps from the official site — avoid third-party links.

Step 2 — Install Trezor Suite

Once your device is recognized, you’ll be prompted to install the Trezor Suite App. This desktop application allows you to manage your crypto securely in an offline-first environment.

Download the latest version from trezor.io/trezor-suite.
Verify the authenticity of your download by checking the digital signature.
After installation, open the app and connect your Trezor device again.

Never download software from unofficial sources — it could compromise your recovery seed or wallet security.

Step 3 — Create or Recover Your Wallet

When you first start Trezor Suite, you’ll be asked whether to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. Choose according to your needs:

Create a new wallet: The device will generate a 12–24 word recovery seed. Write it down securely on paper.
Recover wallet: Enter your recovery seed using the Trezor device interface — never type it on your computer.

This seed is your only backup. Store it offline and never share it digitally.

Step 4 — Add Accounts and Start Managing

Once your wallet is ready, you can add cryptocurrency accounts directly in Trezor Suite. Each account operates independently and uses your hardware-stored private keys for signing transactions.

Add Bitcoin, Ethereum, or other supported assets.
Label and organize your accounts for easy tracking.
Use the built-in exchange and portfolio tracker.
