GET STARTED
WITH YOUR NEW TREZOR

Welcome to Trezor.io/start, the official gateway to securing your digital assets with the world's most trusted hardware wallet. Trezor has revolutionized cryptocurrency security since 2014, pioneering the concept of cold storage wallets that keep your private keys completely offline and away from potential online threats. Whether you're a cryptocurrency beginner or an experienced trader, Trezor provides an intuitive yet powerful solution for protecting your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and thousands of other digital currencies.

The Trezor.io/start page serves as your comprehensive starting point for setting up your new hardware wallet device. By following the straightforward setup process outlined on this page, you'll download the official Trezor Suite application, initialize your device, create a recovery seed, and establish the foundation for secure cryptocurrency management. The entire setup process is designed to be completed in just a few minutes, even if you've never used a hardware wallet before. Trezor Suite acts as your control center, providing a user-friendly interface to manage transactions, view portfolio balances, and interact with decentralized applications.

Hardware wallets represent a fundamental paradigm shift in how we secure digital assets. Unlike software wallets that store private keys on internet-connected devices vulnerable to malware and hacking attempts, or exchange wallets where you don't actually control your own keys, Trezor hardware wallets keep your private keys isolated on a specialized physical device. This approach, known as cold storage, ensures that your keys never touch the internet, making it virtually impossible for remote attackers to steal your cryptocurrency. Even when you connect your Trezor to a compromised computer, your funds remain safe because all transaction signing occurs within the secure element of the device itself.

The Trezor Suite application available through Trezor.io/start offers both desktop and web versions, giving you flexibility in how you access your wallet. The desktop application provides enhanced security and privacy by running locally on your computer, while the web version offers convenience for users who prefer browser-based access. Both versions feature an elegant, intuitive interface that displays your complete portfolio at a glance, supports seamless token swaps through integrated exchanges, and enables you to interact with DeFi protocols safely. Advanced features like Coinjoin for Bitcoin privacy, password manager functionality, and Shamir Backup for distributed seed storage demonstrate Trezor's commitment to comprehensive security solutions.

Setting up your Trezor through the Trezor.io/start page begins with downloading Trezor Suite and connecting your device. During initialization, you'll create a recovery seed—a series of 12 or 24 words that serve as the master backup for your wallet. This seed is displayed only once on your Trezor's screen and should be written down and stored securely offline. Never photograph your seed or store it digitally. The seed represents complete access to your funds, so protecting it is paramount. Trezor's screen ensures that your seed is never exposed to your computer, preventing keyloggers or screen capture malware from compromising it. Once you've secured your seed and set a PIN for device access, you're ready to receive and manage cryptocurrency with confidence.

One of Trezor's greatest strengths is its extensive cryptocurrency support. While Bitcoin remains the flagship asset that Trezor was designed to protect, the device supports thousands of different cryptocurrencies and tokens across multiple blockchains. From established coins like Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash to emerging DeFi tokens and NFTs, Trezor provides unified management for your entire digital asset portfolio. The Trezor.io/start setup process automatically configures support for all major cryptocurrencies, and you can add additional coins through the Trezor Suite interface as needed. This versatility makes Trezor an ideal long-term solution that grows with your cryptocurrency journey.

Security extends beyond the device itself to encompass the entire Trezor ecosystem. Trezor's open-source firmware allows security researchers worldwide to audit the code and verify that no backdoors or vulnerabilities exist. Regular firmware updates delivered through Trezor Suite ensure that your device benefits from the latest security enhancements and feature additions. The Trezor.io/start page always directs you to genuine Trezor software, protecting you from phishing sites that attempt to distribute malicious applications. Remember, Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed through email, support tickets, or any digital channel. By following best practices—keeping your seed offline, using strong PINs, enabling passphrase protection for advanced security, and only downloading software from official sources like Trezor.io/start—you create multiple layers of defense that make your cryptocurrency holdings virtually impenetrable to attackers while maintaining the ease of use that makes Trezor the preferred choice for both newcomers and cryptocurrency veterans alike.
