🧭 Step-by-Step Setup Guide via Trezor.io/Start®

1. Choose Your Device

At Trezor.io/Start®, you’ll first select your model:

• Trezor Model One
• Trezor Model T

Click the one you own to begin the tailored setup experience.

2. Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official app used to interact with your wallet. It lets you:

• Send & receive cryptocurrencies
• Check your portfolio
• Install firmware updates
• Enable security features

Click Download Trezor Suite for your operating system and install it on your computer.

3. Connect Your Trezor Device

Plug in your Trezor using the USB cable. Launch Trezor Suite. The app will detect your device and prompt you to either:

• Set up a new wallet
• Recover a wallet from a backup

4. Install Firmware (If Needed)

New Trezor devices come without firmware to protect against tampering. Trezor Suite will automatically download and install the latest firmware.

Never disconnect during this step.

5. Create a New Wallet

Once the firmware is installed, choose to create a new wallet. Trezor will generate a recovery seed — a list of 12 or 24 words displayed only once.

Write it down. Do not photograph it or save it digitally.

6. Set Up PIN Code

Set a PIN to lock your device. This protects you if someone physically obtains your Trezor.

Model One uses a number grid displayed on the computer. Model T lets you input your PIN directly on its touchscreen.

7. Enable Advanced Security (Optional)

From Trezor Suite, you can enable:

• Passphrase Protection: Adds an extra “25th word” to your seed
• Shamir Backup: Split your recovery seed into multiple shares
• Hidden Wallets: Access unique wallets with different passphrases

🔐 Supported Cryptocurrencies

Trezor supports 1,000+ coins and tokens, including:

• Bitcoin (BTC)
• Ethereum (ETH)
• Cardano (ADA)
• Litecoin (LTC)
• Polkadot (DOT)
• USDT, USDC, DAI
• All major ERC-20 tokens
