✅ What is Trezor.io/start

Trezor.io/start is the official setup page for Trezor hardware wallets. It guides you step by step to initialize your device, install Trezor Suite, create or recover a wallet, and securely back up your recovery seed. Always follow instructions carefully to protect your crypto assets from loss or theft.

Step-by-Step Guide to Trezor.io/start

1. Visit Trezor.io/start

• Open your browser and go to the official Trezor setup page.
• Ensure you are on the correct website to avoid phishing scams.

2. Select Your Trezor Model

• Choose between:
  • Trezor One (older model)

3. Download & Install Trezor Suite

• Trezor Suite is the official desktop app for managing your wallet.
• Download it from:
  • Trezor Suite for Desktop
• Install the application on your computer (Windows/macOS/Linux).

4. Connect Your Trezor Device

• Use the USB cable (for Trezor One) or USB-C cable (for Trezor Model T).
• If prompted, allow Trezor Suite to access the device.

5. Install Firmware (First-Time Setup)

  • Manage coins (BTC, ETH, etc.) in Trezor Suite.

11. Enable Additional Security (Optional)

• Shamir Backup (advanced recovery for Model T).

12. Start Using Your Trezor
