Welcome to the official initialization page for your Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you're activating your device for the first time or restoring an existing wallet, this guide walks you step-by-step through setup, security, and essential wallet management.
Trezor is a trusted hardware wallet designed to store cryptocurrency securely offline. Unlike software wallets, which exist on connected devices, Trezor isolates your private keys in a physical environment disconnected from online threats. This approach ensures that your coins remain safe even if your computer or mobile device becomes compromised.
The Trezor brand represents reliability, privacy, and transparency. Every device is open-source, meaning you can verify its security yourself. The Trezor Suite desktop and web interfaces offer intuitive management, allowing you to send, receive, and exchange assets with confidence.
⚠️ Important: Always purchase Trezor devices directly from the official website or an authorized reseller. Using second-hand or tampered devices may expose your funds to theft.
Before initializing your Trezor, ensure you have:
Plug your Trezor into your computer using the provided cable. You’ll see a welcome message on the device screen prompting you to visit the official start page.
Download and install Trezor Suite from the official site. It’s available for Windows, macOS, and Linux. The Suite handles all wallet functions securely within one interface.
If your device doesn’t come preloaded with firmware, the Suite will prompt you to install the latest version. Firmware ensures compatibility and adds the latest security patches.
Follow the on-screen instructions to generate a new wallet. Your Trezor will display each recovery word—write all of them down carefully on paper, in order.
Never share or digitize your recovery seed. Store it offline in a safe, fireproof, and waterproof place. Anyone with access to your seed can access your funds.
Choose a PIN directly on your Trezor device. Avoid predictable patterns such as “1234.” This PIN prevents unauthorized physical access.
Protecting your digital assets requires ongoing awareness. Trezor devices are built for safety, but good security habits amplify protection. Always verify the website domain before connecting your device and avoid using public Wi-Fi during transactions.
Use your device primarily offline except when broadcasting transactions.
Enable the additional passphrase feature for an extra layer of protection.
Regularly update both your Trezor firmware and the Suite app.
If you already own a Trezor wallet and need to restore it, simply choose “Recover Wallet” in the Suite. You’ll be prompted to re-enter your recovery seed word-by-word. Trezor never exposes or transmits this seed online—it's processed locally within your device.
Recovery is an essential feature in case of loss, theft, or device failure. Always ensure your recovery sheet is legible and securely stored. For ultimate resilience, consider splitting the seed and storing it in multiple safe locations.
Beyond initialization, Trezor Suite offers a clean, privacy-first dashboard for managing your cryptocurrency portfolio. Users can track assets, send or receive coins, monitor exchange rates, and use built-in security diagnostics. The Suite emphasizes transparency, ensuring every transaction is signed within the device itself.
