A clear, secure, step-by-step presentation for first-time users — from unboxing to receiving your first coins.
H1 — A Trezor hardware wallet stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline so they cannot be stolen over the internet. It creates and signs transactions securely on-device while pairing with desktop or mobile software.
H2 — To protect your crypto from malware, phishing and online custodial risk. You retain full control of your keys; you are the custodian.
Never share your recovery seed. Trezor will never ask for it online. Store it offline, ideally in a fireproof/waterproof place.
Computer or mobile device, internet connection for downloading Trezor Suite, and patience. Prefer official channels only.
Go to the official Trezor start page to download Trezor Suite and read the verified installation steps.
Connect your device, follow the on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite to install firmware and create a new wallet. If the device already has firmware, confirm authenticity.
When prompted, write down the recovery seed exactly as shown. This is your backup — treat it like cash. Use the supplied recovery card or a durable metal backup solution.
Choose a PIN that you can remember but others cannot guess. The PIN protects the device from physical access attempts.
Always verify the device’s fingerprint and device messages in Trezor Suite to avoid tampered firmware or man-in-the-middle attacks.
Send a small amount first. Confirm the receiving address on your Trezor’s screen and in the Suite app before sending.
If you encounter issues, consult official support resources and never paste your recovery words into a website or message.
If the device is damaged, you suspect tampering, or you have lost access — contact official Trezor support immediately.
