Your Trezor hardware wallet is designed to keep your cryptocurrency safe and offline. With your private keys stored securely, you can manage crypto confidently.

This guide will take you through unboxing, setup, and getting started with Trezor Suite.

Step 1: Visit Trezor.io/Start®

Go to Trezor.io/Start® to download the official Trezor Suite app. This ensures you get the authentic software.
Tip: Avoid downloading from other sources. Fake downloads can compromise your device security.

Step 2: Unbox and Connect Your Device

Carefully remove your Trezor from the box. Connect it to your computer using the included USB cable. Verify the holographic seal is intact to ensure authenticity.
Tip: Use your personal computer for setup. Public computers may expose your device to risks.

Step 3: Install Trezor Suite

Download Trezor Suite for your operating system: Windows, macOS, Linux, or Web. Run the installer and follow on-screen instructions.

Step 4: Initialize Your Wallet

Open Trezor Suite and follow the prompts. You can create a new wallet or recover an existing one using your recovery seed. Set a PIN and optionally add a passphrase.
Tip: Write your recovery seed on paper and store it in a safe place offline. Never share it digitally.

Step 5: Add Cryptocurrency Accounts

Within Trezor Suite, go to Accounts and add wallets for cryptocurrencies you want to manage—Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others.

Every transaction requires physical confirmation on your Trezor, keeping your private keys secure.

Step 6: Sending and Receiving Crypto

Tip: Double-check addresses before sending. Device confirmation prevents phishing attacks.
