Trezor.io/Start | Getting Started with Your Trezor Wallet

Secure your crypto — simple, step-by-step

Overview

This short presentation walks you through setting up your Trezor hardware wallet, protecting your recovery seed, and connecting to Trezor Suite. It’s designed as a single-page, printer-friendly guide and a shareable HTML slide for teams, meetups, or onboarding new users.

What you’ll need

Step 1 — Unbox & inspect (h4)

Physical check

Inspect the tamper-evident seal. If packaging looks compromised, contact Trezor support immediately.

Why it matters

Hardware tampering is rare but critical — physical integrity ensures firmware and seed confidentiality.

Step 2 — Connect & open Trezor Suite

Visit the official Trezor onboarding page and launch Trezor Suite. Follow on-screen instructions to initialize your device.

1. Go to trezor.io/start
2. Download or open Trezor Suite from the official site.

Step 3 — Install firmware & set PIN (h4)

Trezor devices ship without active firmware. Install the firmware using the Suite, then choose a strong device PIN when prompted. Never share the PIN — it’s local to the device.

Step 4 — Write down your Recovery Seed

Seed best practices

Step 5 — Install apps & connect accounts

Use Trezor Suite to add coin support or third‑party integrations. For many blockchains you’ll be directed to recommended interfaces from the Suite.

Step 6 — Test with a small transaction

Before moving larger funds, send a small amount to confirm addresses and transaction signing work as expected. Verify address strings on the device screen before confirming.

Security Reminders (h4)

Threat model

Trezor protects your private keys offline. Be cautious of phishing sites, fake support, and unsolicited messages. Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed.

Quick FAQ (h4)

Lost device — what now?

If your device is lost, your funds are still safe as long as the recovery seed is secure. Order a new Trezor and recover using your seed.

Compromised seed?

If you suspect the seed was exposed, move funds to a new wallet generated from a fresh device and seed.

Closing & next steps

Setting up a Trezor is the cornerstone of self-custody. Take your time during setup, protect the recovery seed, and enable optional features like passphrases if you need extra protection. For step‑by‑step visuals, use the links above and the Trezor Suite walkthrough.
