Getting started with a new Trézor hardware wallet is simple and secure. This guide will walk you through device setup, firmware installation, and protecting your recovery phrase so you can confidently manage your digital assets.
The official Trézor.io/Start® page is your one-stop portal for activating a Trézor wallet. By following the steps provided, you ensure your device is genuine, up to date, and ready for safe use with Trézor Suite.
Plug your Trézor into a computer using the supplied cable. Then open Trézor.io/Start® in your browser. From there, download Trézor Suite, the companion application for managing your accounts.
Before using your wallet, the latest firmware must be installed. Approve the installation on the device’s display. This guarantees that your wallet is running trusted, official software.
In Trézor Suite, choose to create a new wallet. Your device will generate a recovery seed phrase. Carefully write these words down on the recovery sheet and keep it stored offline in a safe place.
Assign a PIN code to your Trézor. The PIN acts as a security layer against unauthorized access. Always confirm PIN setup directly on the hardware screen.
Inside Trézor Suite you can add accounts for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other supported coins. Each account helps organize your assets and lets you track balances easily from a single interface.
To receive funds, generate an address in Trézor Suite and verify it on your device. To send crypto, enter the recipient address and amount, then confirm the transaction on the wallet’s screen. This ensures no third party can alter your details.
What if I lose my recovery phrase? Without the recovery seed, it is impossible to restore your wallet. Always back it up securely.
Can I skip the firmware step? No. Firmware installation is required for security and functionality.
Where can I download Trézor Suite? Only from the official page at Trézor.io/Start®.
