Welcome to the official Trézor.io/Start® getting started guide. Whether you are new to hardware wallets or upgrading your crypto security, this detailed walkthrough is here to help. This article is your complete resource that explains every step, best practices, and essential insights you need as you begin your journey with TreZor®. Throughout this guide, we will often refer to and explain the powerful features of Trezor Suite, the official app that connects to your TreZor hardware device. Let’s dive in!
TreZor is one of the most trusted hardware wallet brands in the world. Designed to securely store your cryptocurrencies offline, a TreZor device protects your private keys from hacks and malicious software. But powerful hardware needs intuitive software — and that’s where Trezor Suite comes in. You connect your device to Trezor Suite to manage, send, and receive your digital assets easily and securely.
Your official setup begins at the TreZor start page. We have linked it multiple times in this guide so you can easily follow along:
These links will take you to the official starting point for setup and registration. Make sure you only use this official URL to ensure your security and privacy are protected.
When you receive your TreZor device, inspect it carefully. TreZor hardware wallets are shipped with tamper-evident seals. If these seals are broken or damaged, do not use the device and contact official support. Once verified, you are ready to connect your device to your computer and begin setup.
After connecting your TreZor to your computer with the USB cable, you’ll be prompted to open Trezor Suite. This is the official TreZor desktop and web application that manages your crypto assets. Trezor Suite is designed with security, usability, and clarity in mind. You can download it from the official start page linked above.
Once Trezor Suite launches, choose “Create a new wallet”. You will see instructions on the screen to safely generate your seed phrase. A seed phrase is a list of 12 or 24 words that represents your cryptographic private key.
Important: Write the seed words on the recovery card included in your TreZor package. Do not take a screenshot or store it digitally. This seed phrase is the master key to your funds and must be kept offline and hidden.
Your recovery seed is your lifeline. If your device is lost, damaged, or stolen, you can recover your wallet using this seed phrase in another TreZor device or compatible backup solution. Protect it, store it securely, and never share it with anyone.
Now that your device is set up and activated, you can explore the features available in Trezor Suite. The interface is intuitive and clearly labeled:
The dashboard provides a high-level view of your total portfolio value across all supported coins and tokens. Trezor Suite updates in real time as market values change.
Under "Accounts", you can see each asset separately. For example, you can view your Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other supported cryptocurrencies individually. Trezor Suite also allows you to add new assets with a click.
Trezor Suite includes built-in send and receive screens for every supported currency. This means you don’t have to rely on third-party platforms to manage your transactions — everything happens securely through Trezor Suite and your hardware wallet.
