How to Set Up Your Trezor Wallet

Begin your setup by visiting the official Trezor start page at Trezor.io/start. This page provides the authenticated resources you need to safely download software and get instructions for your Trezor wallet.

Download the official Trezor Suite desktop application for your OS—Windows, macOS, or Linux. This application is essential for managing your Trezor device, cryptocurrencies, and securing your wallet.

The desktop app offers the best experience and security. Alternatively, you may use supported browsers with the web version, but desktop is recommended.

Using the USB cable provided, connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer. Trezor Suite will automatically detect your device and prompt you to continue setup.

• Verify Device Authenticity: Ensure your Trezor packaging is unopened and sealed before using it. Do not use if tampered.
• Install Firmware: The device ships without firmware installed. The Suite will guide you through the latest firmware installation securely.
• Create or Recover Wallet: Choose to create a new wallet or restore using your 24-word recovery seed if you have one.
• Back Up Recovery Seed: Write down the 24-word seed shown on your device screen carefully and store offline securely. This seed is critical to recover your wallet.
• Set a PIN: Protect the device access by setting a PIN code directly on the hardware. This secures the wallet against unauthorized physical use.
• Add Supported Coins: Enable the cryptocurrencies you wish to manage through the Suite interface.

Once setup is complete, securely send, receive, and exchange cryptocurrencies using the Trezor Suite interface. Your portfolio, transaction history, and coin management are all accessible in one place.

Regularly check for firmware and software updates within the Suite to keep your wallet protected with the latest security features.

Is the Trezor wallet setup free?

Yes, Trezor Suite software and setup guides are free. You only need to purchase the Trezor hardware device separately.

Can I setup my wallet without a computer?

The initial setup requires a computer or supported browser to install Trezor Suite and firmware.

What if my device package is damaged?

Do not use the device. Contact official Trezor support and request a replacement to ensure security.

How do I safely store my recovery seed?

Write it down on paper or a metal backup device. Never save it digitally to avoid hacks or loss.

What if I lose my Trezor device?

Use your recovery seed to restore your wallet on another Trezor or compatible hardware wallet.
