Initialize Your Trezor Safely

Your Trezor hardware wallet is the safest way to protect your digital assets — but only if you start correctly. The verified starting point is trezor.io/start, where you’ll find everything needed to configure your device, install Trezor Suite, and back up your wallet securely.

  2. Install Trezor Suite following the official download prompts.
  3. Initialize the device: create a new wallet or recover an existing one.

Security Principles

Your recovery seed is the single most important backup. Anyone with access to it controls your funds. Always verify website URLs, check device packaging, and perform firmware updates directly through trezor.io/start.

Using Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is your command center for managing assets, sending transactions, and tracking portfolio performance. It’s available on desktop and mobile — and always downloaded from the official source only. Never use browser extensions or unverified software claiming to be “Trezor tools.”

Common Setup Issues

If your Trezor is not detected:

  • Ensure the USB cable is data-capable and properly connected.
  • Unlock your computer and restart Trezor Suite.
  • Use a different USB port or try another system.
  • Check for the latest firmware using trezor.io/start.

Firmware & Updates

New firmware versions enhance performance and security. Updates are handled through Trezor Suite and signed by SatoshiLabs. Never install firmware manually from third-party websites.

Device Authenticity & Resellers

Purchase only through the official store or verified distributors listed at trezor.io/start. Genuine Trezor devices come sealed and tamper-evident.
