How to Trezor Start — Step by step

A compact walkthrough so you can complete your trezor start setup in minutes.

  1. Verify packaging: Check seals and authenticity cards before powering on.
  2. Download official software: Visit the official Trezor website and download Trezor Suite (do not use third-party links).
  3. Connect and initialise: Connect your device and follow the on-screen prompts to create a new wallet.
  4. Write down recovery seed: When prompted, write your recovery words on paper — never store digitally.
  5. Set a PIN: Choose a secure, memorable PIN (avoid repeats or birthdays).
  6. Test with a small amount: Send a tiny transaction to confirm everything works before moving larger funds.
Tip: During your trezor start, always confirm the address on your Trezor device screen — never only on the computer.

Why use a hardware wallet?

Hardware wallets provide a strong layer of protection by keeping your private keys in a secure chip. Below are a few highlights.

  • Private key isolation — keys never leave the device.
  • Open-source firmware — independently auditable code.
  • Multi-currency support — manage many assets in one device.

FAQ — Your Trezor Start questions

Q: Can I back up my seed digitally?

A: No. Digital backups (photos, text files, cloud) are vulnerable. Use paper or metal backup solutions.

Q: What if I lose my Trezor device?
