In the evolving world of cryptocurrency, securing your digital assets is more important than ever.

If you’ve just purchased your first Trezor hardware wallet—either the Trezor Model One or the Trezor Model T—your journey begins at the official setup page:

This page is your trusted, step-by-step guide to initializing your device, generating a secure recovery phrase, and managing your crypto safely using the Trezor Suite.

Why Trezor?

Trezor was the first-ever hardware wallet, developed by SatoshiLabs, and it has remained one of the most secure and respected crypto storage solutions in the world. Unlike online or software wallets, Trezor stores your private keys offline, away from hackers and phishing attacks. Even if your computer is infected with malware, your funds remain safe with Trezor, as transactions must be physically verified on the device.

Step 1: Visit Trezor.io/Start

To begin setting up your device, go to the official Trezor start page at  This is the safest place to download the Trezor Suite desktop app and follow official setup instructions.

Avoid third-party websites or unofficial tools, as they can put your funds at risk. Only use the links and downloads provided at Trezor.io/Start to ensure you're following verified and secure procedures.

Step 2: Download Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official software interface for managing your crypto with a Trezor wallet. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, it offers a powerful, user-friendly platform to send, receive, buy, exchange, and monitor your digital assets.

Once downloaded:

  1. Install the application on your desktop.

  2. Open Trezor Suite and connect your Trezor device via USB.

  3. Trezor Suite will automatically detect your device and guide you through the initial setup process.

Step 3: Initialize Your Trezor Device

You can either create a new wallet or recover an existing wallet using your 12, 18, or 24-word recovery phrase.

To create a new wallet:

  • Follow the prompts in Trezor Suite.

  • The device will generate a unique recovery seed phrase—your backup key.

  • Write down the phrase on the provided recovery sheet.

  • Store the sheet in a safe, offline place. Never take photos or store it digitally.

To recover an existing wallet:

  • Select “Recover Wallet” in the setup screen.

  • Input your recovery phrase using the secure method shown on the device screen.

Step 4: Update Firmware (If Needed)

During setup, Trezor Suite may prompt you to update your device firmware. Always use official firmware and follow the instructions carefully. Keeping your firmware up to date ensures your wallet has the latest security and performance improvements.

Step 5: Add Accounts & Coins

Once your device is initialized and paired with Trezor Suite, you can start adding accounts for your preferred cryptocurrencies.

Trezor supports major coins like:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)

  • Ethereum (ETH) + ERC-20 tokens

  • Litecoin (LTC)

  • Cardano (ADA)

  • Dogecoin (DOGE)

  • Dash, Tezos, Zcash, and more

Each supported cryptocurrency requires an account setup within Trezor Suite. Click “Add Account,” choose the coin, and Trezor Suite will generate a wallet address for that asset.

Step 6: Start Managing Your Crypto

With everything set up, you can now:

  • Send and receive crypto using wallet addresses verified on your Trezor device.

  • Buy crypto using integrated exchange services like Invity.

  • Swap tokens securely within the app.

  • Track your portfolio in real-time.

  • Use your wallet with third-party apps like MetaMask and Exodus (with Web3 support).

Trezor Suite also offers privacy features like Tor integration and coin control, giving you more control over how your transactions are broadcast and verified.

Security Best Practices

  • Never share your recovery phrase. No one from Trezor will ever ask for it.

  • Keep your device and recovery sheet safe—preferably in separate secure locations.

  • Verify all transactions on your Trezor device’s screen before confirming.

  • Use passphrase protection for enhanced security, especially if you store large amounts of crypto.
