Official quick-start: download, set up, secure — step-by-step for first-time users.

Welcome — begin your secure crypto journey

Congratulations on choosing a Trezor hardware wallet. This guide walks you through the essentials to get your device online safely: downloading Trezor Suite, installing firmware, creating and protecting your recovery seed, and making your first transaction — all with privacy and best-practices built in.

Step 1 — Download

Always download Trezor Suite from trezor.io. Pick Windows, macOS, or Linux. Avoid third-party links to prevent fake apps.

Step 2 — Connect

Plug your Trezor into your computer using the supplied USB cable. Use the cable that came with the device for best results.

Step 3 — Install Firmware

Suite will guide you to install the latest official firmware. Confirm firmware authenticity when prompted on the device screen.

Step 4 — Create Recovery Seed

Write down the 12–24 word recovery phrase by hand. Store it offline and never share it. This is the only backup to restore your wallet.

Hardware‑backed security

Trezor keeps private keys offline. Transactions are signed on the device, protecting you from malware on your computer.

Multi‑currency support

Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, Solana and thousands of tokens — all accessible through Trezor Suite with one device.

Privacy & control

Use Tor, custom backends, and discreet mode to reduce network leakage and keep your holdings private.

Security checklist

  • Never store your recovery seed digitally.
  • Verify every receive address on your Trezor screen.
  • Enable a PIN and consider a passphrase for hidden wallets.
  • Keep firmware and Suite updated; avoid public Wi‑Fi when transacting.
