Welcome to the official step-by-step setup guide for your Trezor hardware wallet and the Trezor Suite application. This colourful, human-friendly page walks you through buying, unboxing, installation, secure initialization and first transactions — with practical security advice at every step.
Follow these actionable steps. Each is short, verifiable, and designed to keep your crypto safe from the start.
Purchase only from trezor.io or authorized resellers to ensure authenticity and warranty support.
Check tamper seals and packaging. If something looks off, contact support before powering the device.
Get the desktop app or open the web app in a Chromium-based browser. For extra assurance, verify checksums or reproducible build hashes.
Use the supplied USB cable. Suite will detect the device and guide you through the next steps.
Create a strong PIN directly on the device. Never type your PIN into software — it belongs on the hardware only.
Record the 12/24-word seed on the supplied card or a hardened metal plate. Keep it offline and physically secure.
Apply firmware updates through Suite. Firmware updates include security improvements; Suite verifies signatures for you.
Add Bitcoin, Ethereum and tokens. Label accounts clearly (e.g., savings, spending) to avoid mistakes later.
Send a tiny amount first. Confirm the receiving address on the device screen before approving — this prevents address-hijacking malware.
Track balances, history and performance across coins and tokens. Price alerts, charts and exportable reports help you stay organized.
Private keys never leave your Trezor. Approve every transaction physically on the device to eliminate remote compromise vectors.
Access vetted partners for buying or swapping without exposing your keys. Transparent rates and a single, secure workflow.
A few practical habits cover most threats. These are short, actionable and effective.
