Welcome to the official Trézor setup guide. This walk-through will show you how to safely set up your new Trezor hardware wallet, link it to the Trezor Suite software, and begin securing your crypto assets. Whether you are a new user or returning, this document will guide you step by step through the process found at the official site: https://trezor.io/start (official Trezor setup).
Before launching the setup, gather the essentials:
If you haven’t already, navigate to the official Trezor start page: https://trezor.io/start. This link comes straight from the official manufacturer and ensures you get the latest software, frequently updated firmware, and genuine setup instructions.
Begin by going to the official Trezor setup portal at https://trezor.io/start. This page redirects you safely to download the official Trezor Suite application. Trezor Suite is the recommended desktop application from SatoshiLabs, providing a secure interface to manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many other cryptocurrencies from your Trezor device.
📌 Trezor Suite is where you will sign transactions, check balances, and install firmware. It is essential for advanced features such as coin control, portfolio view, live pricing, and encrypted backups.
Click the download button on the Trezor official start page to get the latest version of the Trezor Suite. The app is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Follow the installation instructions specific to your operating system.
The installation process ensures all necessary drivers and secure modules are correctly set up for communication with your Trezor hardware wallet.
Now it’s time to connect your Trezor device. Use the included USB cable to plug your device into your computer. Once connected, your Trezor will power on and display a welcome screen.
Trezor devices include a small screen and physical buttons. These are used to confirm actions and verify information directly on the device — a critical security feature that prevents remote tampering.
If you encounter any issues during connection, revisit the official instructions at https://trezor.io/start.
Once connected, Trezor Suite will guide you through the initial device setup. You may be prompted to install the latest firmware — always choose “Yes” to update. Firmware updates ensure your device runs the most secure version available.
Inside the app, click “Install Firmware” and follow the instructions. Your Trezor device screen and Trezor Suite will work together during this process, ensuring authenticity and safety.
After firmware installation, you will be offered two choices:
Choose “Create a new wallet” if this is your first time. You will receive your recovery seed — a set of 12, 18, or 24 words. Write these down on the card provided. This recovery seed is your backup and must be stored securely offline.
Trezor Suite will not store your seed — only you control it.
Your recovery seed is the most critical piece of information for wallet security. If your device is lost or damaged, the seed allows you to restore your wallet on a new Trezor or compatible wallet software that supports BIP39.
NEVER share your recovery seed with anyone. No official support representative will ever ask for it. For detailed instructions on storing your seed safely, refer to the official guidance on the Trezor start page: https://trezor.io/start.
Once your wallet is created or recovered, the Trezor Suite interface becomes your command center:
Use the Trezor Suite dashboard to interact with decentralized applications (dApps), fiat conversion, and crypto watchlists.
To receive funds, click “Receive” in the Trezor Suite. A receiving address will be displayed both in the app and on your Trezor device screen. Always verify the address on the device before sharing it with others. This prevents tampering by malware.
To send crypto:
Transactions are signed on the device itself — no private keys ever leave your Trezor hardware wallet.
To keep your wallet secure:
Official updates, security news, and guidance are regularly published on the main Trezor website: https://trezor.io/start.
If you encounter issues, the official Trezor support portal helps resolve them quickly. Always check the FAQ and troubleshooting sections at the official start page: https://trezor.io/start. Avoid third-party downloads or unverified instructions — stick to the official site and the Trezor Suite app.
Setting up your Trezor device through Trezor Suite ensures the highest level of security for your crypto assets. By following this official Trézor.io/Start® guide and using verified links at https://trezor.io/start, you protect your digital wealth from common threats.
Remember: your private keys stay offline on your Trezor at all times, and the Trezor Suite is the trusted interface that helps manage everything securely. Enjoy peace of mind knowing your crypto is safeguarded by world-class hardware security.
