Managing cryptocurrency safely begins with a hardware wallet. Trezor devices provide industry-leading security by keeping your private keys offline. Trézor.io/Start® is the official starting point for a smooth and secure wallet setup.

Whether you are new to cryptocurrency or upgrading your wallet setup, this guide walks you through everything: connecting your device, installing software, setting up PINs, backing up recovery seeds, adding cryptocurrency accounts, and sending or receiving crypto safely.

Why Choose a Trezor Wallet

Trezor wallets are cold storage devices, meaning your private keys are never exposed to the internet. Key benefits include:

  • Protection against malware, phishing attacks, and hacks

  • Full control of your digital assets

  • Support for multiple cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Cardano, Binance Coin, and ERC-20 tokens

Using Trézor.io/Start® ensures that your wallet is configured securely and correctly.

Essential Items to Prepare Before Setup

To make your setup smooth and secure, gather the following:

  • Trezor hardware wallet (Trezor One or Trezor Model T)

  • Original USB cable included with the device

  • Computer with internet access

  • Pen and recovery card to safely store your backup seed

Having all items ready helps prevent setup delays or mistakes.

Step 1: Access Trézor.io/Start®

A PIN prevents unauthorized access to your wallet.
