🔐 Welcome to Trezor.io/start – Your Trezor Setup Guide

Trezor.io/start is the official starting point for setting up your Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you’re using the Trezor Model One or the advanced Trezor Model T, this setup process ensures your device is initialized securely and ready to store your cryptocurrency assets with confidence.

🛠 What You Need Before Starting

• A new and sealed Trezor hardware wallet (Model One or Model T)
• A computer with internet access
• A USB cable (included with the device)
• Google Chrome or another compatible browser
• A safe place to write down your recovery seed (pen and paper recommended)

🚀 Step-by-Step Setup Instructions

1. Unbox your Trezor device and connect it to your computer via USB.
2. Visit the official setup page by entering "trezor.io/start" in your browser.
3. Select your device model and follow the on-screen instructions.
4. Download and install the Trezor Suite desktop app or use the web interface to proceed with initialization.
5. If prompted, install the latest firmware on your device. Always confirm updates directly on your Trezor screen.
6. Create a new wallet or restore an existing one using a recovery phrase.
7. Write down the 12 to 24-word recovery phrase shown on your device and store it offline in a safe location.
8. Confirm the recovery phrase on your device screen to complete setup.
9. Set a strong PIN code to protect access to your Trezor wallet.

🔐 What is the Recovery Phrase?

The recovery phrase is the backup to your wallet. If your Trezor is ever lost or damaged, you can restore your wallet on a new device using this phrase. It is the most critical piece of information and must be stored privately and securely.

🧠 Tips for Safe Use

• Never take a photo or digital copy of your recovery phrase.
• Always confirm transactions and addresses on your Trezor device screen.
• Only download software from official sources.
• Lock your computer and use antivirus software to protect your setup environment.

🛡 Why Use Trezor?

Trezor hardware wallets offer unmatched security by keeping your private keys offline. Unlike exchange wallets or mobile apps, Trezor gives you complete control of your crypto assets while minimizing the risk of online attacks, phishing, or malware.

✅ Final Thoughts

Setting up your Trezor device through Trezor.io/start is the first step in taking ownership of your digital wealth. Follow the steps carefully, back up your recovery phrase, and enjoy peace of mind knowing your assets are secured in a trusted, offline hardware wallet.
