Created by SatoshiLabs, Trezor® devices provide unparalleled security and control over your crypto holdings, ensuring that you are the only one with access.
The Starting® Up® Your® Device® page at Trezor.io is specifically crafted to make your onboarding experience smooth and secure. This dedicated hub provides official software downloads, setup instructions, and expert tips to ensure you never compromise your security.
Before you start, gather the following:
Head over to the official Trezor Start page and download the Trezor Suite desktop application for your operating system. This app serves as your main interface for managing your crypto assets securely.
Why use Trezor Suite? It provides a simple, easy-to-understand dashboard that helps you manage wallets, monitor your portfolio, and send or receive cryptocurrencies — all while your private keys remain safe inside your hardware wallet.
Using the USB cable, connect your Trezor device to your computer. The device will power on and display a welcome message along with a prompt to continue setup.
If this is your first time, you will be guided through creating a new wallet. If you already have a recovery seed, you can restore your wallet from backup.
The initialization process is crucial and involves:
“Your recovery seed is the ultimate key to your funds. Never store it digitally or share it with anyone.”
After initialization, the Trezor Suite may prompt you to install the latest firmware update for your device. Firmware updates improve security, add new features, and fix bugs. Always keep your device updated and only accept official firmware from the Trezor Start page.
With your device initialized and connected, you can now:
Your security depends not only on the device but also on your practices. Keep these tips in mind:
Yes. Your Trezor hardware wallet supports multiple wallets and cryptocurrency accounts accessible through Trezor Suite.
As long as you have your recovery seed, you can restore your wallets and funds on a new Trezor device or compatible wallet.
It is highly recommended to use trusted devices. Public computers may be compromised with malware that could pose risks, even though your private keys never leave the hardware wallet.
Firmware updates are available through Trezor Suite. The software guides you safely through the update process.
