Welcome to Trezor.io/Start

Your journey to secure and self-custodied cryptocurrency begins here. Trezor.io/Start is the official setup portal for your Trezor hardware wallet, brought to you by SatoshiLabs, the creators of Trezor. Whether you have a Model One or a Model T device, this portal guides you safely through the initialization, configuration, and usage of your new wallet — ensuring your assets stay protected from phishing attacks, counterfeit apps, and malware.

Why Use Trezor.io/Start?

When dealing with cryptocurrencies, security is non-negotiable. Trezor.io/Start is the only official source to download the Trezor Suite app and firmware, the essential software that manages your wallet. Using this portal prevents exposure to counterfeit or malicious software that can compromise your assets.

The onboarding process is designed to be intuitive and secure. It ensures you initialize your device with genuine firmware, generate your recovery seed securely, and understand the critical security practices necessary for owning a hardware wallet.

Step-by-Step Guide to Setup

Follow these steps at Trezor.io/Start to confidently start using your wallet:

• Select your Trezor model: The portal supports both Model One and Model T, adjusting instructions accordingly.
• Download Trezor Suite: Get the official desktop application to manage your wallet, transactions, firmware updates, and more.
• Install firmware: If your device requires it, install the latest official firmware for the best security and functionality.
• Create your wallet: Generate your unique recovery seed — a 12, 18, or 24-word phrase that is the key to your wallet backup.
• Write down your seed phrase: Store it offline safely. Never upload, photograph, or share it digitally.
• Set up PIN protection: Add an extra layer of access control to your device.
• Start using Trezor Suite: Add accounts for various cryptocurrencies, send and receive funds securely, and monitor your portfolio.

Security Best Practices

Your recovery seed is the most valuable secret you possess. Protect it as you would a physical wallet holding cash. Never disclose it, type it into websites or apps, or store it in digital form. If someone obtains your seed, they can access your funds without your approval.

Always confirm the URL before starting your setup. Make sure your browser displays the secure padlock and the exact address: https://trezor.io/start. Avoid clicking links received via email or social media that claim to help with wallet setup or recovery.

Do not connect your Trezor to unknown or public computers. Use trusted devices to minimize malware or hardware tampering risks.

Customizing Your Trezor Model T

With the Model T, you can personalize your device by setting a custom homescreen wallpaper through Trezor Suite. Upload a 240x240 pixel JPEG under Settings > Device > Customization. This lets you tailor the visual experience of your hardware wallet while maintaining security.

You can create custom images using AI tools or design software, ensuring the image meets Trezor’s size and format requirements.

Common Questions

What happens if I lose my device?

Your recovery seed allows you to restore your wallet and funds to a new Trezor device or compatible wallet. Without it, fund recovery is impossible.

Can I use Trezor on multiple computers?

Yes. Your wallet is securely backed by your recovery seed, not by the computer. Install Trezor Suite on any trusted machine and connect your device.

Is the setup process complicated?

Not at all. The step-by-step guide at Trezor.io/start and the Trezor Suite app guide you clearly through every action. It takes just minutes to become operational.
