What is Trezor?

Trezor is a hardware wallet that lets you store your cryptocurrency securely offline. Unlike online wallets or exchanges, Trezor gives you complete control over your private keys. By storing your keys offline, you protect your assets from hackers, malware, and phishing attacks.

Trezor supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, ERC-20 tokens, and many other cryptocurrencies.

Step 1: Check Your Device Packaging

When you receive your Trezor (Model One or Model T), ensure the packaging is intact and untampered. The box should be sealed with holographic security tape. Inside, you should find:

• Trezor hardware wallet
• USB cable
• Recovery seed cards
• Quick start manual
• Stickers (optional)

If anything appears suspicious or damaged, do not use the device. Contact Trezor Support immediately.

Step 2: Visit the Official Start Page

Go to the official website to begin setup: https://trezor.io/start. This ensures you are using the correct and secure setup tool.

Step 3: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web interface to manage your wallet, coins, and security settings. We recommend downloading the desktop version for enhanced safety. Trezor Suite is available for:

• Windows
• macOS
• Linux

Step 4: Connect and Initialize Your Wallet

Using the USB cable, connect your Trezor device to your computer. Trezor Suite will automatically detect the device and guide you through:

• Installing the latest firmware
• Creating a new wallet or recovering an existing one
• Setting a PIN for physical access protection

Always confirm actions directly on your Trezor device screen.

Step 5: Backup Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is the only way to restore your wallet if the device is lost or damaged. Trezor will display 12, 18, or 24 words. Write these down on the recovery card and store it offline in a secure location.

• Never share your seed with anyone
• Never take a photo or store it digitally
• Never type it into websites or apps

Step 6: Add Cryptocurrency to Your Wallet

After setup, you can send and receive coins using Trezor Suite. Supported cryptocurrencies include:

• Bitcoin (BTC)
• Ethereum (ETH)
• Cardano (ADA)
• Litecoin (LTC)
• USDT, USDC, and other ERC-20 tokens

Simply select the asset in Trezor Suite, generate your receive address, and transfer from your exchange or another wallet.

Security Tips

• Always verify addresses on your Trezor screen
• Bookmark Trezor.io to avoid phishing
• Never share your PIN or recovery seed
• Keep your device firmware up to date
• Consider enabling the optional passphrase feature for additional protection
