🔐 What Is trezor.io/start?

trezor.io/start is the official setup page for all Trezor hardware wallets (such as Trezor Model One and Model T). It guides users through downloading the Trezor Suite, initializing the wallet, and securing it properly.


🛠️ Trezor Setup Process – Step by Step

1. Visit the Official Page

Go to https://trezor.io/start using a secure browser on your computer.


2. Choose Your Trezor Model

Select your device:

  • Trezor Model One
  • Trezor Model T

Then click "Continue to Trezor Suite".


3. Download Trezor Suite

  • Click the link to download Trezor Suite for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux).
  • Install and launch the app.

4. Connect Your Device

  • Plug your Trezor device into your computer using the USB cable.
  • If prompted, confirm the connection on the device.

5. Install Firmware

If this is a new device, it will have no firmware. The app will ask you to:

  • Install the official firmware
  • Confirm the installation on your Trezor screen

6. Create a New Wallet

After installing firmware:

  • Choose "Create new wallet"
  • Then select "Standard seed backup"

Your Trezor will display a 12- or 24-word recovery seed.

Important:

  • Write it down on paper (never save it digitally)
  • Store it safely offline

7. Confirm Recovery Seed

You’ll be asked to confirm some of the words to verify your backup was recorded correctly.


8. Set Up PIN

Choose and confirm a secure PIN code directly on the device. This prevents unauthorized access.


9. Access Your Wallet

Once setup is complete, you can:

  • View crypto balances
  • Send and receive coins
  • Manage accounts
  • Use features like coin control, labeling, and more within Trezor Suite

✅ Final Tips

  • Never share your recovery seed or PIN
  • Always access your wallet via Trezor Suite or suite.trezor.io/web
  • Keep your device and backup in separate, secure places
