Why use trezor.io/start?
Setting up a hardware wallet is the single most effective step most people can take to secure cryptocurrency holdings. The URL
trezor.io/start
is the official entry point designed to guide you through initializing a Trezor device, installing the required software, generating a seed phrase, and making your first protected transactions.
Unlike hot wallets (mobile or web apps), Trezor stores your private keys offline on a dedicated device. That reduces the attack surface and gives you full control of the cryptographic secrets that authorize your funds.
Before you begin — checklist
Buy your Trezor from an authorized retailer or the official store — never buy used devices for storing new funds.
Work in a private place and avoid public Wi-Fi when initializing the device.
Have a pen and physically durable backup medium (paper, metal backup plate) ready for your recovery seed.
Keep your computer updated and run a reputable antivirus if available.
Security tip: Type the web address yourself into your browser to avoid phishing links. The correct starting point is trezor.io/start (no extra characters or subdomains).
