    Trezor.io/Start – Complete Setup Guide

    1. Welcome to Trezor

    When you unbox your Trezor hardware wallet, the first step is visiting trezor.io/start. This is the official and only safe location to set up your wallet, download the software, and begin securing your cryptocurrency.

    Trezor’s setup process is built around Trezor Suite—a powerful application for managing your crypto portfolio. Suite is available as both a desktop app and a browser-based version, so you can choose the setup that fits your style.

    2. Choosing Your Setup Method

    You have two ways to run Trezor Suite:

    Option A – Desktop App

    • Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux.

    • Offers the most stable and secure experience.

    • Recommended for long-term, frequent use.

    Option B – Browser App

    • Works without installation.

    • Great for quick access or when using a temporary computer.

    Both options connect directly to your Trezor hardware wallet and give you full control over your assets.

    3. Connecting Your Trezor for the First Time

    1. Plug It In
      Connect your Trezor to your computer with the included USB cable.

    2. Check the Device
      Make sure the packaging and holographic seal are intact. This confirms the device hasn’t been tampered with.

    3. Install Firmware
      If your Trezor doesn’t already have firmware, Suite will prompt you to install the latest official version.

    4. Verify Authenticity
      Trezor Suite automatically checks your device to ensure you’re running genuine firmware.

    4. Setting Up Your Wallet

    When your Trezor is ready, you’ll see two options:

    • Create New Wallet – For brand-new setups.

    • Recover Wallet – If you already have a recovery seed from another Trezor.

    Important: Your recovery seed is your lifeline. It’s the only way to restore your funds if your device is lost or damaged.

    4.1 Creating Your Backup (Recovery Seed)

    Trezor Suite will guide you through writing down your backup phrase (12–24 words).

    • Write the words in order on the provided backup card.

    • Store it somewhere safe and offline.

    • Never take photos or store it digitally.

    Anyone with this phrase can access your crypto—so guard it like your life savings.

    4.2 Setting a PIN

    Your PIN prevents unauthorized physical access.

    • Choose between 4–50 digits (depending on your model).

    • Avoid obvious sequences like “1234.”

    • You’ll need to confirm the PIN on the device.

    4.3 Activating Coins

    Trezor supports dozens of cryptocurrencies. During setup, you can activate the ones you plan to use—like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, and more. You can adjust this list anytime in Suite.

    4.4 Personalizing Your Device (Optional)

    For extra personality, you can give your wallet a custom name and, on some models, set a unique homescreen image.

    5. Navigating the Trezor Suite Dashboard

    Once your wallet is set up, Trezor Suite will open your Portfolio Dashboard:

    • Portfolio View: A chart showing your total balance and historical performance.

    • Asset List: A breakdown of your holdings by coin.

    • Quick Actions: Receive, send, buy/sell, and enable more coins.

    If your wallet is empty, Suite will suggest ways to fund it—either by receiving crypto or using the built-in buy function.

    6. Advanced Features

    Trezor Suite isn’t just for sending and receiving. Here’s what else it can do:

    • View-Only Mode: See your balances without the device connected.

    • Passphrase Wallets: Hidden wallets for extra privacy.

    • Firmware Updates: Keep your device secure with one-click updates.

    • Buy, Sell, Swap, Stake: Direct access to partner services for trading and staking.

    • Integration with Apps: Works with wallets like MetaMask or Electrum for DeFi and advanced Bitcoin use.

    7. Security Tips

    • Always start setup at trezor.io/start—never trust links from emails or social media.

    • Keep your recovery seed offline and private.

    • Update your firmware regularly in Trezor Suite.

    • Use a strong, unique PIN.

    • Consider a passphrase wallet for sensitive holdings.

    8. One-on-One Expert Setup (Optional)

    If you want personal guidance, Trezor offers a 60-minute onboarding session with an expert (English only, $99). You’ll get step-by-step help to ensure your wallet is set up securely and all your questions are answered.
