Noise is optional; security is not. The official trezor.io/start sequence strips setup down to essentials: authentic firmware, a seed phrase you never digitize, and on-device confirmations for addresses and transactions. This monochrome page focuses on principles over decoration, so you can establish a routine that works the same every time—on a new computer, after a move, or when you rotate backups.
Get Started1) Keys stay offline inside the Trezor. 2) Seed phrases live on paper or metal, not in screenshots or cloud notes. 3) Addresses are trusted only when confirmed on the device screen. These rules, paired with trezor.io/start, form a repeatable ritual that scales from a first deposit to long-term holdings.
Open Trezor Suite via trezor.io/start. Follow on-device prompts to verify and update firmware.
Write 12/24 words cleanly. Don’t digitize. Consider a metal backup for durability.
Choose a long PIN and optionally enable a passphrase to create a hidden wallet only you know.
When receiving, display the address on your Trezor and compare character-by-character with the one on your computer. Send a tiny test first, then scale up.
Yes. Download via trezor.io/start and compare signatures or checksums where provided. The device itself will also prompt for trusted updates.
Funds are restored with your seed (and passphrase if used) on a new Trezor through the same official setup flow.
