What Is Trezor®?

Trezor® is a hardware cryptocurrency wallet, also known as a “cold wallet.” Unlike online wallets or exchanges, Trezor keeps your private keys offline—out of reach from hackers and phishing attacks. It supports hundreds of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, ERC-20 tokens, and more.

Trezor provides complete control over your funds and ensures that only you have access to your private keys.

Step-by-Step: ®Starting Up Your Device®

1. Unbox Your Trezor®

Ensure the device packaging is untampered.
Your Trezor should not come with a pre-written recovery phrase.
You’ll generate your own recovery phrase during setup.

2. Visit Trezór.io/Start®

On your computer, open a web browser and navigate to https://trezor.io/start.

Choose your device model:

Trezor Model One
Trezor Model T

Click the appropriate option to begin your personalized setup.

3. Download Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop application for managing your Trezor wallet.

Click the download link for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
Install and open the app.
Optionally, you can use the browser version, but the desktop app is more secure.

4. Connect Your Trezor Device

Use the included USB cable to plug your device into your computer.

For Model One, you’ll follow on-screen instructions via your computer.
For Model T, the device features a touchscreen for direct navigation.

5. Install or Update Firmware

Trezor devices ship without pre-installed firmware for added safety.

Trezor Suite will prompt you to install the latest official firmware.
Confirm this step on the device.
Do not disconnect the device during installation.

Creating a Wallet

After firmware installation, you’ll choose between two options:

Create New Wallet

Generates a 12 or 24-word recovery seed.
Write down this phrase on paper and store it offline.
Never share, photograph, or store it digitally.

Restore Existing Wallet

If you already have a recovery phrase from another wallet, enter it to regain access to your assets.

🔒 The recovery phrase is your master key. If it’s lost, your wallet cannot be recovered.

Set a PIN Code

Next, you’ll create a PIN code to protect your device from unauthorized use.

Model One: Use a grid shown on your screen for secure input.
Model T: Enter the PIN using the touchscreen.

You can also enable passphrase protection, which acts as a custom 25th word for added security.

Using Trezor Suite

Once your wallet is created, you’ll land in the Trezor Suite dashboard.

From here, you can:

View your portfolio
Add or manage multiple crypto accounts
Send and receive coins
Buy, exchange, or stake supported assets
Enable privacy features like Tor or discrete mode

Trezor Suite also supports integration with MetaMask, dApps, and hardware-based 2FA.

Safety Tips for Trezor Users

Always verify receiving addresses on the device screen, not just in Trezor Suite.
Keep your recovery phrase offline and hidden in a secure location.
Never share your PIN or seed phrase—even with Trezor support.
Update firmware and software regularly.
Avoid using public or insecure computers for wallet access.
