Trezor Wallet® | Begin Your Crypto Access

Starting your journey in cryptocurrency requires more than just buying coins — it means protecting them. With Trezor Wallet®, you gain full control of your digital assets through one of the most trusted hardware wallets in the world.

This guide will help you begin using Trezor with confidence. Whether you’re a beginner or transitioning from exchanges, you’ll learn to set up your device, protect your wallet, and manage crypto securely.

Why Use Trezor Wallet®?

• Offline security: Your private keys never touch the internet.
• Protection from hacks: Unlike exchanges, you control your assets.
• Easy setup with the official Trezor Suite.
• Backup recovery through a 12, 18, or 24-word seed phrase.

What You Need Before You Start

• A Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T device
• A desktop or laptop with a USB port
• Internet access to download Trezor Suite
• Pen and paper to write down your recovery seed
• 15–30 minutes of uninterrupted time

Step-by-Step Setup

1. Visit the Official Site

Go to https://trezor.io/start. Always confirm you are on the official site to avoid phishing attempts.

2. Install Trezor Suite

Download and install Trezor Suite, the secure desktop application for managing your wallet. It's available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

3. Connect Your Trezor

Plug in your Trezor device using the USB cable. Follow the on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite to detect and initialize the device.

4. Install Firmware

New devices ship without firmware. During setup, you will be prompted to install the latest firmware. Confirm this action on the device screen before continuing.

5. Create a Wallet

Select “Create new wallet.” If you're restoring an old wallet, use the “Recover wallet” option and enter your backup seed phrase when prompted.

6. Backup Your Recovery Seed

Trezor will display your recovery seed — a list of 12, 18, or 24 words. Write them down exactly, in order, and store them offline. Never save your seed on a phone, cloud, or PC.

7. Set a PIN

Choose a strong PIN code to protect your device. If someone gets physical access to your wallet, the PIN prevents unauthorized use.

Post-Setup: Using Your Wallet

• Check balances and send/receive crypto through Trezor Suite
• Verify transaction details on your device screen before confirming
• Manage multiple accounts (Bitcoin, Ethereum, ERC20 tokens, and more)
• Use labeling, coin control, and privacy options available in Suite

Best Security Practices

• Never share your seed or PIN — not even with “support.”
• Only use official sites like trezor.io/start
• Store your seed phrase in a secure, offline location
• Consider using a metal backup for long-term durability
• Update your Trezor Suite and firmware regularly

Common Questions

What if I lose my Trezor device?

You can recover your funds using your recovery seed on a new Trezor. This is why backing up your seed properly is essential.

Can I use Trezor with MetaMask?

Yes. Trezor integrates with MetaMask for secure access to DeFi apps. Your private keys stay on the hardware device.

Is my crypto stored on the device?

No. Your coins live on the blockchain. Trezor stores your private keys, which give you access to move those funds.

Can I reset or wipe the wallet?

Yes. You can wipe the device and recover using your seed phrase at any time.
