In an age where digital assets are more valuable than ever, securing your cryptocurrency is no longer optional—it's essential. That’s where Trezor®, the original hardware wallet, comes in. Designed to protect your crypto assets against theft, hacks, and phishing attempts, Trezor ensures your private keys stay offline and out of reach from online threats.
If you've just received your Trezor wallet, your next step is to visit Trezor.io/Start—the official onboarding portal for all new users. This page guides you through everything you need to get your device up and running securely. In this article, we’ll walk you through the entire startup process, making it easy for beginners and experienced users alike.
Trezor is one of the most trusted names in crypto security. Developed by SatoshiLabs, it was the world’s first hardware wallet and continues to lead in innovation and security. Whether you choose the Trezor Model One or the more advanced Trezor Model T, you’re investing in peace of mind.
Your Trezor device stores your private keys offline, making it immune to online threats like malware and phishing. Every action you take must be confirmed on the device itself, giving you full control over your assets.
Open your browser and go to https://trezor.io/start. This is the only official page for setting up your device. Avoid third-party websites, as there are many fake copies designed to steal your recovery seed or install malicious firmware.
On the Trezor Start page, you’ll be prompted to select your model:

When first used, your Trezor comes without firmware pre-installed. This ensures it hasn't been tampered with during shipping. Trezor Suite will guide you through installing the latest official firmware. Always confirm firmware details on your Trezor screen before approving the installation.

If you’re starting fresh, select “Create New Wallet.” Trezor will then generate your recovery seed—a series of 12 or 24 words that can restore access to your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
This step is absolutely critical. Write down your recovery seed exactly as shown on your Trezor screen and store it in a secure, offline location. Never store this information digitally, and never share it with anyone.
Remember: If you lose your recovery seed, you lose access to your crypto.
Your next step is to choose a secure PIN. You’ll need to enter this each time you connect your device. A strong PIN adds another layer of protection against unauthorized access.
Trezor also allows you to enable optional features for greater security:
Now that your device is set up, you can begin managing your crypto. With Trezor Suite, you can:
