What Is a Trezor Hardware Wallet?

A Trezor hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your private keys offline. Unlike software wallets or exchange accounts, your private keys never leave the device, protecting you from:

  • Malware attacks
  • Exchange hacks
  • Phishing attempts
  • Remote theft

Trezor devices are built with strong security features, including a secure chip and open-source firmware, giving you full control over your crypto.

Step-by-Step Guide to Getting Started

Here’s what to do when you visit Trezor.io/Start:

1. Download Trezor Suite

The first step is installing Trezor Suite, the official companion app for managing your crypto portfolio.

Trezor Suite is available for:

  • Windows
  • macOS
  • Linux

Always download Trezor Suite directly from the official Trezor website to avoid counterfeit versions.

2. Connect and Initialize Your Device

After installing Trezor Suite:

  • Connect your Trezor wallet via USB
  • Choose “Set up as new device”
  • Create a secure PIN code

Your PIN ensures your device cannot be accessed without authorization.

3. Write Down Your Recovery Seed

Your Trezor wallet generates a 12 or 24-word recovery seed, the most important part of setup.

Your recovery seed:

  • Restores your wallet on any Trezor device
  • Must be written down offline
  • Should never be shared or stored digitally

Trezor will never ask for your recovery seed. Anyone who has it can access your funds.

Tip: Consider using a fireproof or metal backup plate for extra durability.

4. Verify Your Recovery Seed

Trezor will ask you to confirm your recovery seed by selecting the words in the correct order. This step ensures your backup is accurate.

Do not skip it.
