Welcome to the ultimate guide for setting up your Trezor® hardware wallet! Whether you're new to cryptocurrency or a seasoned trader, securing your digital assets is crucial. Follow this step-by-step guide to get started with your Trezor® device safely and efficiently.
📦 Unboxing Your Trezor® Device
Before diving into setup, ensure you have:
✔ Trezor® hardware wallet (Model T or One)
✔ USB cable (included)
✔ Recovery seed card (for backup)
✔ Sticker with Trezor® hologram (for authenticity)
⚠ Warning: Only purchase from Trezor.io to avoid counterfeit devices.
⚡ Step 1: Connect Your Trezor® to a Computer or Mobile
- Plug in your Trezor® using the provided USB cable.
- Visit Trezor.io/start on a secure browser.
- Choose your device (Trezor Model T or Trezor One).
🔒 Step 2: Install Trezor Suite®
For the best experience, download the official Trezor Suite® app:
- Desktop: Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

💡 Using Trezor Suite® ensures enhanced security and full functionality.
🛡️ Step 3: Initialize Your Device
- Create a new wallet → Select "Create new wallet."

Once set up, you can:
- Receive crypto → Generate wallet addresses.
