Trezor Start guides you from unboxing to mastery — set up your device, secure your recovery, explore Trezor Suite, and learn the best practices that keep your digital assets safe for the long term.
Every Trezor device arrives sealed and verifiable. Begin by checking packaging integrity and following the included quick-start notes. If anything appears tampered with, pause and reach out to support — authenticity is your first line of defense.
Plug your Trezor into a desktop or mobile device and follow the intuitive on-screen instructions. Set a memorable PIN to protect local access. Initialization is fast, and each step is confirmed on your device to prevent remote tampering.
The 12–24 word recovery seed is the single most important backup for your wallet. Write it down on the supplied backup card; never store it digitally, never photograph it, and never share it. With this seed, you can restore access if your device is lost — without it, recovery is impossible.
Trezor Suite is the official app connecting to your hardware wallet. Available for desktop and mobile, it provides a clean dashboard, transaction history, and integrated exchange tools. Use Suite to add accounts, manage assets, and sign transactions while your private keys remain offline.
Enhance security using a passphrase (hidden wallet) and strong PIN policies. These optional measures create additional layers that protect your funds even if a device is compromised. Trezor Start explains how to configure them safely and when to use each option.
When connecting to decentralized apps, always approve transactions on your Trezor device. Trezor Start teaches how to spot phishing, validate contract data, and limit exposure when experimenting with dApps, DeFi, and NFT platforms.
Through Trezor Suite you can exchange assets, stake supported tokens, and monitor portfolio performance. Each action is routed through your hardware wallet for confirmations, preserving the safety of your private keys while unlocking practical financial tools.
Regular firmware and Suite updates deliver security improvements and new features. Trezor Start guides you through safe updates and verification procedures so you keep your device resilient without interruption.
Trezor Start is designed to empower: it explains not only how to do things, but why they matter. Understanding the principles behind each step builds long-term confidence and helps you avoid common pitfalls as you expand your usage.
By following this guide you'll have a fully configured Trezor device and the knowledge to protect your digital assets. Trezor Start turns setup into a habit of security.
