Trézor.io/start – Your Step-by-Step Guide to Begin Using Your Trézor Wallet
When I first unboxed my Trézor hardware wallet, it felt small but very powerful. I wasn’t sure how to begin safely, and that’s when I found Trézor.io/start — the official starting point for setting up your Trézor wallet
This guide will take you step by step, in simple language, so anyone can get started safely, even without much technical experience.
What Is Trézor.io/start?
Trézor.io/start is the official setup page for all Trézor hardware wallets, including Trézor Model T and Trézor One.
It helps you:
- Download Trézor Suite, the official management app
- Set up or recover your wallet
- Install cryptocurrency apps
- Secure your funds
Using Trézor.io/start ensures you follow official instructions and avoid fake apps or scams.
Step 1: Visit Trézor.io/start
Open your browser and type Trézor.io/start. Double-check the spelling — fake sites exist that may try to steal your recovery phrase.
Once the page loads, select your device model. The instructions adapt depending on whether you have a Trézor Model T or Trézor One.
Step 2: Download Trézor Suite
The page will guide you to download Trézor Suite, the official app for managing all your crypto.
Available for:
- Windows
- macOS
- Linux
Trézor Suite allows you to:
- Send and receive crypto
- Track your portfolio
- Swap supported cryptocurrencies
- Add multiple accounts
- Manage your device securely
Always download directly from Trézor.io/start to ensure safety.
Step 3: Install Trézor Suite
After downloading, install Trézor Suite following your system instructions. Open the app and click Get Started.
Your Trézor device will be detected automatically. If not, make sure your device is connected properly and follow any on-screen instructions.
Step 4: Set Up Your Trézor Device
Your Trézor device will guide you to:
- Create a PIN code
- Generate a recovery phrase
The PIN code protects your crypto if your device is lost or stolen.
The recovery phrase, usually 12–24 words, is the only way to recover your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
Important:
- Write the words on paper
- Keep them offline in a safe place
- Never take a photo or store digitally
- Never share with anyone
Confirm the words on your device to complete setup.
Step 5: Install Cryptocurrency Apps
In Trézor Suite, go to the Manager section to install apps for the cryptocurrencies you want to manage, such as:
- Bitcoin
- Ethereum
- Solana
- Tezos
Installing apps allows your Trézor device to connect securely to each coin’s blockchain.
Step 6: Add Accounts
Go to the Accounts tab in Trézor Suite. Click Add Account and choose the cryptocurrency. Your device will sync and show your balances.
You can now:
- Receive crypto
- Send crypto safely
- Track your portfolio
- Manage multiple coins in one app
Every transaction must be confirmed on your Trézor device to keep your private keys offline.
Step 7: Send and Receive Crypto
When receiving crypto, verify the address on your Trézor device. When sending, confirm the amount and recipient on the device.
This step protects against malware and hackers that could modify addresses or amounts.
