✅ What is trezor.io/start?
trezor.io/start is the official setup portal for Trezor hardware wallets — the Trezor Model One and Model T.
It’s run by SatoshiLabs, the creators of Trezor. This webpage guides you step-by-step to securely initialize, backup, and start using your Trezor to manage your cryptocurrencies safely.
🛡️ Why use trezor.io/start?
- It ensures you’re using the genuine software and latest firmware.
- It helps you securely generate your recovery seed offline.
- It teaches you how to verify your device to avoid tampering.
- It protects you from phishing or fake setup sites.
🔑 What does the setup process include?
Here’s the basic flow when you visit trezor.io/start:
1️⃣ Connect your device
Plug in your Trezor via USB (or USB-C for Model T) to your computer or phone.
2️⃣ Install Trezor Suite
You’ll be prompted to download Trezor Suite, the official desktop or web app for managing your wallet.
👉 It’s safer to use the desktop version if possible.
3️⃣ Verify your Trezor
Check for the holographic seal to ensure your Trezor hasn’t been opened.
4️⃣ Install or update firmware
If your Trezor is new, you’ll install its firmware — this ensures you’re starting fresh with the official, up-to-date software.
5️⃣ Create a new wallet
When you create a new wallet, your Trezor generates a unique recovery seed — usually 12, 18, or 24 words.
6️⃣ Write down your recovery seed
Your recovery seed is the ONLY backup of your wallet. Write it on paper, store it securely offline, and never share it.
If you lose it, you lose access to your crypto.
7️⃣ Set a PIN
Your PIN code protects your Trezor from unauthorized access if someone gets hold of it physically.
⚙️ After setup — what can you do?
With Trezor Suite connected to your device, you can:
- Send and receive crypto safely.
- See your portfolio balance.
- Use advanced features like passphrase protection.
- Connect to exchanges or use coin management tools.
- Manage multiple accounts and coins — Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many others.
