Why Trezor.io/start® Is Important

Cryptocurrency security begins with correct setup. Trezor.io/start exists to protect users from phishing websites, fake applications, and counterfeit firmware that can compromise wallets. By starting at the official page, you ensure:

  • Authentic Trezor software installation
  • Verified firmware directly from Trezor
  • Secure wallet generation offline
  • Protection against malicious third-party tools

Your private keys never leave your Trezor device, and no sensitive data is shared online.

What You Need Before Starting

Before visiting Trezor.io/start®, prepare the following:

  • A genuine Trezor hardware wallet (Model One or Model T)
  • The original USB cable provided with the device
  • A computer or mobile device with internet access
  • A pen and paper to record your recovery seed
  • A private, distraction-free environment

Taking the time to prepare ensures your wallet is set up correctly and safely from the beginning.

Step 1: Connect Your Trezor Device

To begin, connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer or mobile device using the USB cable. Once connected:

  1. Open a web browser
  2. Navigate to Trezor.io/start®
  3. Select your Trezor model

Your device screen will display instructions, confirming that it is ready for setup. This step verifies the physical connection and begins the secure initialization process.

Step 2: Download and Install Trezor Suite

After selecting your device, you will be prompted to install Trezor Suite, the official application for managing your crypto assets.

What Is Trezor Suite?

Trezor Suite is an all-in-one platform that allows you to:

  • Send and receive cryptocurrencies
  • Manage multiple wallets and accounts
  • Track balances and transaction history
  • Update device firmware securely
  • Enable privacy and security features

Always download Trezor Suite directly through Trezor.io/start to avoid counterfeit or malicious software.

Step 3: Install and Verify Firmware

Brand-new Trezor devices come without firmware installed. This is a critical security feature. During setup, Trezor Suite will guide you through:

  • Installing the latest official firmware
  • Verifying its cryptographic authenticity

This process confirms your device has not been tampered with. If a device arrives with firmware pre-installed, it should not be used.

Step 4: Create a New Wallet

Once firmware installation is complete, you will create a new wallet directly on your Trezor device.

During this step:

  • The wallet is generated offline
  • Private keys are created securely on the device
  • No information is transmitted over the internet

You may be asked to choose the length of your recovery seed (12, 18, or 24 words). Longer seeds offer higher security.

Step 5: Record Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is the most important part of your wallet. It is the only way to restore your funds if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged.

Recovery Seed Safety Rules:

  • Write down every word in the correct order
  • Store the seed offline only
  • Never take photos or screenshots
  • Never save it on a phone or computer
  • Never share it with anyone

Anyone with access to your recovery seed can access your crypto. Trezor will never ask for it.

Step 6: Set a Secure PIN

To protect your device from unauthorized physical access, you will create a PIN code.

  • The PIN is entered using a randomized layout
  • Each incorrect attempt increases the waiting time
  • This prevents brute-force attacks

Choose a PIN that is difficult to guess but easy for you to remember.

Optional Advanced Security Features

Trezor devices provide additional security options for advanced users:

Passphrase Protection

A passphrase acts as an extra word added to your recovery seed. It creates hidden wallets that are invisible without the correct passphrase.

Backup Verification

This optional step confirms your recovery seed was written correctly and ensures you can restore your wallet if needed.

Supported Cryptocurrencies

After completing setup at Trezor.io/start®, you can securely manage a wide range of digital assets, including:

  • Bitcoin (BTC)
  • Ethereum (ETH)
  • Litecoin (LTC)
  • Cardano (ADA)
  • Solana (SOL)
  • ERC-20 tokens and many more

Supported coins depend on the Trezor model and firmware version.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

To keep your wallet secure, avoid these common errors:

  • Using unofficial setup websites
  • Installing software from third-party sources
  • Storing recovery seeds digitally
  • Sharing private information
  • Skipping firmware verification

Always follow instructions directly from Trezor.io/start®.
