Getting Started with Trezor

Follow these simple steps to secure your cryptocurrency

1

Unbox Your Trezor Device

Open your Trezor package and verify the holographic seal is intact. Check that you have: Trezor device, USB cable, recovery seed cards, and user manual. Never use a device with a broken seal.

2

Visit Trezor.io/Start

Go to the official Trezor.io/start website on your computer. Download and install Trezor Suite – the official desktop application for managing your device. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux.

3

Connect Your Device

Use the provided USB cable to connect your Trezor to your computer. Open Trezor Suite and follow the on-screen prompts. Install the latest firmware when prompted for optimal security.

4

Create a New Wallet

Select "Create new wallet" on your device. Your Trezor will generate a unique 12 or 24-word recovery seed. Write this down on the provided recovery card – NEVER store it digitally. This is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.

5

Verify Your Recovery Seed

Trezor Suite will ask you to confirm your recovery seed by selecting specific words. This ensures you've written it down correctly. Store your recovery card in a safe, secure location – preferably in a fireproof safe.

6

Set Up PIN Protection

Create a strong PIN code (4-9 digits) for your device. This protects your Trezor if someone gains physical access. You'll enter this PIN each time you connect your device.

7

Start Using Your Wallet

Your Trezor is now ready! You can receive cryptocurrency by copying your wallet address from Trezor Suite, or send crypto by confirming transactions on your device. Always verify addresses on the device screen.

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Trezor

What is a Trezor hardware wallet?

Trezor is a physical device that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline (cold storage). It's considered one of the most secure ways to store digital assets because your keys never leave the device and are protected from online threats, malware, and hackers. Unlike software wallets, Trezor requires physical confirmation for every transaction.

Which cryptocurrencies does Trezor support?

Trezor supports over 1,000 cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), Ripple (XRP), Bitcoin Cash (BCH), Cardano (ADA), and thousands of ERC-20 tokens. The full list is constantly expanding. Both Trezor Model One and Model T support the vast majority of popular cryptocurrencies.

What if I lose my Trezor device?

If you lose your Trezor, your funds are safe as long as you have your recovery seed. You can purchase a new Trezor (or compatible device) and restore your entire wallet using the 12 or 24-word recovery seed you wrote down during setup. This is why it's crucial to store your recovery seed securely offline. Never store it digitally or share it with anyone.

Is Trezor better than a software wallet or exchange?

Yes, for security. Hardware wallets like Trezor provide significantly better protection than software wallets or keeping crypto on exchanges. Software wallets are vulnerable to malware and hacking, while exchanges can be hacked or freeze your account. Trezor keeps your private keys offline and requires physical confirmation, making it virtually immune to remote attacks. Remember: "Not your keys, not your crypto."

How much does Trezor cost and where can I buy it?

Trezor Model One costs approximately $69, while the more advanced Trezor Model T costs around $219. You should ONLY purchase directly from the official Trezor.io website or authorized resellers listed on their site. Never buy from third parties like eBay or Amazon, as devices could be tampered with or come with pre-loaded malware. Official devices come with tamper-evident seals.

Can my Trezor be hacked?

While no device is 100% unhackable, Trezor is one of the most secure options available. Physical attacks requiring sophisticated equipment have been demonstrated in lab conditions, but these require the attacker to have physical possession of your device. With a strong PIN and passphrase, your funds remain secure. Remote hacking is virtually impossible because your private keys never leave the device. Always keep your firmware updated for the latest security patches.
