Why Trezor.io/start Matters

In the crypto space, ownership means control — and control starts with private keys. Trezor hardware wallets are designed to give you complete sovereignty over your assets. But the setup process must be done carefully and securely. That’s where Trezor.io/start comes in.

This official setup portal ensures you're downloading the authentic software (Trezor Suite), installing verified firmware, and following best practices for security. Whether you're new to crypto or a seasoned investor, using this starting point is essential to avoid scams, phishing sites, or setup errors that could compromise your wallet.

How to Set Up Your Trezor (Step-by-Step)

1

Go to Trezor.io/start and select your device model (Model One or Model T).

2

Download Trezor Suite for your operating system — this is the official app used to manage your wallet.

3

Connect your device using the USB cable and follow the on-screen instructions to initialize it.

4

Create your wallet and write down your 12- or 24-word recovery phrase. This is your backup — don’t lose it!

5

Set a PIN and optional passphrase for extra security. Now you’re ready to send, receive, and store crypto securely.

Did You Know?

Your recovery phrase is the ultimate key to your crypto wallet. If you lose your Trezor device, this phrase can restore your assets. But if someone else gets access to it — they can take everything. Never store it digitally, and never share it.
