A few thoughtful steps are all it takes to put your crypto in your hands. Set up your Trezor, make a safe backup, and start exploring on your terms.
Choose the kind of Trezor you have to see setup pointers tailored to your device. You can always return to these steps as you go.
Unbox your Trezor yourself. Check that the holographic seal and packaging look as expected for your model. A Trezor device does not arrive with a pre-written recovery wallet backup. If anything seems unusual, pause and contact official Trezor Support before continuing.
For touchscreen models, you’ll confirm setup actions on the device screen itself.
For button models, use the physical buttons to review and confirm prompts on the device.
Go directly to the official Trezor website and download Trezor Suite for your computer, or use the official web app where supported. Connect your device with its USB cable and follow the on-screen instructions. Install firmware only when prompted by the official Suite app—never from a link sent by a stranger.
Your device will show a recovery wallet backup (often called a recovery seed). Write every word in the correct order on the supplied recovery card and check it carefully. Keep it offline in a private, secure place. Anyone who gets these words can take your crypto—Trezor Support will never ask you to share them.
Set a PIN on your Trezor when asked, then finish the prompts in Suite. Take time to learn how to receive a small test amount and verify the address on your device screen before using it. Keep your device updated through Suite, and make sure your backup remains readable and accessible only to you.
Feeling unsure is normal. Take it at your own pace—there’s no rush to move funds.
Your crypto exists on its respective blockchain. Your Trezor protects the private keys that let you manage it. The device helps keep those keys isolated from an internet-connected computer.
You can restore access using your recovery wallet backup on a compatible wallet device. This is why keeping your words private, secure, and legible matters. Never share them with anyone offering to help you restore access.
No. Never share your recovery words or type them into a website or computer. If a person or page asks for them, stop. Reach Trezor Support by navigating to the official website yourself.
Pause setup and open the official Trezor Support website directly. Avoid search ads, unsolicited messages, and links from strangers when looking for help.
