Trezor.io/Start – Your First Step to True Crypto Ownership

Congratulations on Your New Trezor!

You've just taken the most important step toward securing your cryptocurrency future. By choosing Trezor, you're joining over 2 million users worldwide who trust our hardware wallets for absolute protection and control of their digital assets. This page will guide you through the simple, 15-minute setup process to transform your new device into your personal fortress for crypto security.

Your Crypto Shouldn't Be Someone Else's Payday

In today's digital landscape, leaving your cryptocurrency on exchanges or in software wallets exposes you to significant risks—hackers hunt, scammers steal, and exchanges can fail or freeze funds. With Trezor, you break free from these vulnerabilities. Your Trezor hardware wallet keeps your private keys 100% offline, ensuring that only you have absolute ownership and control. No third party can access, take, or control what's rightfully yours.

🚀 How to Set Up Your Trezor: A Simple 4-Step Journey

Step 1: Download Trezor Suite App

Download the Trezor Suite desktop application for the most secure and feature-rich experience. Trezor Suite is your all-in-one interface for managing, buying, selling, and exploring cryptocurrency while your keys remain safely offline on your hardware wallet.

For immediate access, you can also choose "Continue in browser" to use our web app.

Step 2: Install the Application

If you chose the desktop app, install it on your computer. This step isn't necessary for web app users, but we recommend the desktop version for enhanced security and functionality.

Step 3: Set Up Your Trezor Device

1. Connect your Trezor to your computer using the provided USB cable

2. Follow the clear, step-by-step instructions in Trezor Suite

3. Create and securely write down your Recovery Seed—this is the master key to your wallet that you must protect above all else

4. Set up your device PIN for physical protection

This entire process takes about 15 minutes and is designed to be intuitive even for beginners.

Step 4: Move Your Coins to Security

Your Trezor is now ready! Begin protecting your assets by transferring cryptocurrency from exchanges or other wallets to your new Trezor addresses. Check our comprehensive guides in Trezor Suite for safe, step-by-step transfer instructions.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

1. Do I really need a hardware wallet if I use a reputable exchange?

Yes, absolutely. Even today's largest exchanges can be hacked, experience technical failures, or face regulatory actions that freeze withdrawals. When your crypto is on an exchange, you don't actually own it—you own an IOU. Trezor gives you true ownership with industry-leading security and zero third-party risk.

2. What happens if I lose my Trezor device or it gets damaged?

Your crypto remains completely safe as long as you have your Recovery Seed (the backup phrase created during setup). You can restore your entire wallet onto a new Trezor device or compatible software wallet at any time. Your funds live on the blockchain—your Trezor is simply the most secure key to access them.

3. Is owning my own crypto too technical or complicated?

Not at all. Trezor makes self-custody accessible to everyone. Our setup process provides clear, step-by-step guidance, and Trezor Suite offers an intuitive interface for daily management. We've designed everything to make securing your crypto straightforward—no technical expertise required.

4. Can I still use DeFi, swap coins, or interact with NFTs using Trezor?

Yes—and more securely than ever. Through WalletConnect integration, you can interact with decentralized applications like Uniswap, Curve, or NFT marketplaces while your private keys remain protected on your Trezor device. Additionally, Trezor Suite has built-in functionality to buy, sell, swap, and stake selected cryptocurrencies—all without compromising security.

5. I only have a small amount of crypto. Is a hardware wallet necessary?

Yes, security matters at any amount. Cryptocurrency is a long-term investment, and what seems small today could grow significantly in value. More importantly, a hardware wallet protects not just your current holdings but your entire crypto identity. Starting with proper security from day one establishes habits that will protect you as your portfolio grows.

6. What makes Trezor different from other hardware wallets?

Trezor stands apart through complete transparency and community-driven security. As open-source pioneers, every aspect of our software and firmware can be audited by anyone. Unlike closed-source competitors, we don't hide behind "security through obscurity." Features like our optional passphrase, Shamir Backup™, and the Tropic01 secure element (in Trezor Safe 7) provide next-generation protection. The new Trezor Safe 7 even offers quantum-ready security, future-proofing your assets against emerging threats.
