How to Set Up Your Trezor Wallet the Right Way with Trezor.io/Start

So, you've bought your first Trezor wallet—now what? If you're unsure how to get started, the good news is that Trezor.io/Start is designed to guide users of all skill levels through the setup process. In this blog, we’ll walk you through the entire setup from box to first transaction.

Step 1: Open the Box & Inspect

Before even plugging your device in, make sure the packaging is intact. Trezor wallets are tamper-evident. If the box looks like it’s been opened or the security seal is broken, contact support.

Step 2: Connect and Go to Trezor.io/Start

Once you've verified everything is intact, plug the wallet into your computer. Now go to Trezor.io/Start. The site will automatically detect your model and guide you to install or update the firmware.

Step 3: Install Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite is the secure desktop application used to interact with your wallet. It supports multiple coins including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and more. Installation is quick and easy, and the app provides tools for account management, transaction monitoring, and security checks.

Step 4: Create or Recover a Wallet

You’ll have the option to:

• Create a new wallet
• Recover an existing one using a seed phrase

Choose to create a new one if you're starting fresh. You’ll be given a seed phrase—write this down on paper and store it safely. This is your backup and the only way to recover funds if the device is lost or damaged.

Step 5: Use Your Wallet

After setup, you can:

• Send and receive crypto
• Label transactions
• Manage multiple accounts

Trezor Suite also allows you to connect with decentralized apps (dApps) and exchanges via integrations.

Pro Tip: Bookmark Trezor.io/Start
