Welcome to Trezór.io/Start®, the official gateway to securely starting your Trezór® crypto hardware wallet. Whether you are new to cryptocurrencies or a seasoned user, this comprehensive guide will walk you through everything you need to begin managing your digital assets safely.

What is Trezór®?

Trezór® is a leading hardware wallet brand designed to keep your cryptocurrency private keys offline and protected from online threats. By storing your keys in a secure physical device, Trezór® ensures that hackers cannot access your funds, even if your computer is compromised.

Your Trezór® device is the cornerstone of your crypto security, acting as a hardware key that authorizes transactions without exposing your sensitive information to the internet.

Why Should You Use Trezór®?

  • Maximum Security: Your private keys never leave the device.

  • User-Friendly: Easy-to-use interface and setup.

  • Compatibility: Supports thousands of cryptocurrencies.

  • Recovery Protection: Backup with a recovery seed phrase.

  • Open Source: Transparent and trusted technology.

Getting Started: What You’ll Need

Before starting, make sure you have:

  • A genuine Trezór® device (Model One or Model T).

  • A computer or smartphone with internet access.

  • The official USB cable that comes with your device.

  • Pen and paper to write down your recovery seed.

  • Access to the official Trezór® website at https://trezor.io/start.

Step 1: Unbox and Inspect Your Trezór®

When you receive your Trezór® device, carefully check the packaging for any signs of tampering. Trezór® packages come sealed with tamper-evident stickers to ensure your device hasn’t been compromised.

If you notice anything suspicious, do not use the device and contact official support immediately.

Step 2: Connect Your Device to Your Computer or Smartphone

Using the provided USB cable, connect your Trezór® device to your computer or compatible smartphone.

  • For desktop users, open a supported browser such as Chrome, Firefox, or Edge.

  • Visit https://trezor.io/start, which will detect your device and guide you through setup.

  • Mobile users can use USB OTG cables or Bluetooth (for certain models) with the Trezór® Mobile app.

Step 3: Install Required Software

To communicate securely with your Trezór®, you will need to install either:

  • Trezór Bridge: a background service that enables browser-device communication.

  • Trezór Suite: a dedicated app for managing your wallet and crypto assets.

Follow the on-screen instructions at the official start page to download and install the software appropriate for your device.

Step 4: Initialize Your Wallet

You now have two choices:

  • Create a New Wallet: This option generates a new cryptographic recovery seed.

  • Recover an Existing Wallet: Restore your wallet from a previously saved recovery seed.

If you are a new user, select Create a New Wallet.

Step 5: Generate Your Recovery Seed Phrase

Your recovery seed phrase is the heart of your wallet security. It consists of 12 to 24 randomly generated words.

  • The device will display your seed words one by one.

  • Write them down carefully on the recovery card or paper.

  • Double-check the spelling and order.

This seed phrase is the only way to restore your wallet in case your device is lost or damaged.

Important: Never save your seed phrase digitally or share it with anyone.

Step 6: Confirm Your Recovery Seed

To verify you wrote down the recovery phrase correctly, your Trezór® device will ask you to confirm certain words from your seed.

This step helps prevent loss of funds due to seed misrecording.

Step 7: Set Your PIN Code

Your PIN code protects your device against unauthorized use.

  • You will enter your PIN on a randomized touchscreen or button interface.

  • Choose a secure but memorable PIN.

  • Every time you connect your device, the PIN is required.

Step 8: Explore Your Wallet Interface

After setup, you can manage your cryptocurrencies using the Trezór Suite or other compatible wallets like Electrum or MyEtherWallet.

Features include:

  • Viewing balances and transaction history.

  • Sending and receiving crypto assets.

  • Managing multiple cryptocurrency accounts.

  • Exchanging assets with integrated exchanges.

Step 9: Update Firmware Regularly

Firmware updates keep your Trezór® device secure and functional.

  • Trezór Suite will notify you when updates are available.

  • Updates require physical confirmation on the device.

  • Always keep your firmware up to date to guard against vulnerabilities.
