Your journey to ultimate cryptocurrency security starts here. Trezor is the world's most trusted hardware wallet, protecting your digital assets with state-of-the-art technology and uncompromising security standards.
Trezor is a hardware wallet that provides the ultimate protection for your cryptocurrencies. Unlike software wallets that store your private keys on internet-connected devices, Trezor keeps your keys completely offline in a secure hardware device, making it virtually impossible for hackers to steal your assets.
Founded in 2014 by SatoshiLabs, Trezor pioneered the hardware wallet industry and has since protected billions of dollars worth of cryptocurrency for users worldwide. Our commitment to open-source development, transparency, and security has made Trezor the gold standard in crypto storage.
With Trezor, you maintain complete control over your private keys – they never leave the device, and even Trezor itself cannot access your funds. This is what true ownership of digital assets looks like.
Follow these simple steps to set up your Trezor device and start securing your cryptocurrency portfolio today.
Carefully unbox your Trezor device and verify that the security seal is intact. Your package should include the Trezor hardware wallet, a USB cable, recovery seed cards, a user manual, and stickers. Never use a device if the packaging appears tampered with or if the holographic seal is broken.
Inspect your device for any signs of damage or manipulation. Trezor devices are shipped directly from our secure facility, and any signs of tampering should be reported immediately to our support team.
Visit trezor.io/start and download Trezor Suite, our comprehensive desktop and mobile application. Trezor Suite is available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, providing a seamless interface to manage your cryptocurrencies. The application is regularly updated with new features, security enhancements, and support for additional coins.
Always download Trezor Suite from the official website to ensure you're getting the authentic, secure version. The application includes built-in verification to confirm your device is genuine and hasn't been compromised.
Connect your Trezor to your computer using the provided USB cable. The device will power on automatically, and Trezor Suite will detect it. Follow the on-screen instructions to begin the initialization process. Your device will guide you through each step with clear, easy-to-understand prompts.
During the first connection, your Trezor will install the latest firmware, ensuring you have access to all security updates and features. This process is automatic and takes just a few minutes.
Choose to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. If you're setting up a new wallet, your Trezor will generate a unique 12 or 24-word recovery seed. This seed is the master key to your cryptocurrency and must be written down carefully on the provided recovery cards. Never store your recovery seed digitally or take a photograph of it.
Write each word in the exact order shown on your device. Double-check every word for accuracy. This recovery seed is the only way to restore your wallet if your device is lost, stolen, or damaged. Store it in a secure location, preferably in a fireproof safe or safety deposit box.
Create a strong PIN code to protect your device from unauthorized access. Your PIN should be between 4 and 50 digits long. Choose a PIN that's memorable to you but difficult for others to guess. Avoid simple patterns like 1234 or repeated digits.
The PIN entry uses a randomized number grid that changes with each attempt, protecting you from keyloggers and screen capture malware. After multiple incorrect PIN attempts, your device will implement increasing time delays, making brute-force attacks virtually impossible.
Congratulations! Your Trezor is now ready to use. You can receive cryptocurrency by sharing your wallet addresses, which are displayed in Trezor Suite. To send cryptocurrency, you'll need to confirm each transaction on your device's screen, ensuring that even if your computer is compromised, your funds remain secure.
Explore Trezor Suite's features, including portfolio tracking, exchange integration, and advanced security options like passphrase protection. Take time to familiarize yourself with the interface – knowledge is your best defense against scams and user errors.
Trezor employs multiple layers of security to ensure your cryptocurrency remains safe from all types of threats.
Your private keys never leave the device and never come into contact with your internet-connected computer, making remote hacking impossible.
Advanced cryptographic chip protects against physical tampering and side-channel attacks, ensuring your device remains secure even if physically compromised.
Every transaction must be verified on the device's screen, protecting you from malware that might try to change transaction details on your computer.
Our comprehensive support resources and dedicated team are here to assist you every step of the way. Whether you're a first-time user or an experienced crypto enthusiast, we're committed to ensuring your Trezor experience is smooth and secure.
