🌐 What is trezor.io/start?

trezor.io/start is the official onboarding page for Trezor wallets. It guides users through:

  • Initial device setup
  • Installing Trezor Suite (desktop app)
  • Creating or restoring a wallet
  • Securing your crypto safely

🔧 Step-by-Step Setup Process

1. Visit trezor.io/start

Go to https://trezor.io/start using a secure browser. You'll be asked to choose your device:

  • Trezor Model One
  • Trezor Model T

Select the correct model.

2. Download Trezor Suite

You’ll be prompted to download Trezor Suite, the official desktop app (also available as a web version).

👉 Download it here: https://suite.trezor.io

Install the app and open it.

3. Connect Your Trezor Device

  • Plug your Trezor device into your computer using the USB cable.
  • Follow on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite.

4. Install Firmware (if needed)

If it's your first time using the device, Trezor may prompt you to install firmware.

  • Confirm installation on both your computer and Trezor screen.
  • Wait until it completes before proceeding.

5. Create or Recover Wallet

You’ll be given two options:

  • Create new wallet – for first-time users.
  • Recover wallet – if you’re restoring from a backup.

Choose “Create new” if it’s your first time.

6. Backup Recovery Seed

This is the most important step:

  • Your Trezor will display a 12- or 24-word recovery seed.
  • Write it down on paper and store it securely offline.
  • Never take a photo or store it digitally.

You’ll be asked to confirm the words to ensure you saved them correctly.

7. Set PIN Code

Choose a secure PIN to protect your device.
This adds an extra layer of security for physical access.

8. Access Wallet Dashboard

After setup:

  • You’ll land in the Trezor Suite Dashboard.
  • You can send, receive, and manage crypto like Bitcoin, Ethereum, and others.
  • Explore features like coin management, labeling, and portfolio tracking.

✅ Final Tips

  • Always download software only from trezor.io/start.
  • Keep your recovery seed safe – losing it means losing access to your funds.
  • Don’t share your PIN or seed words with anyone.
