What is Trezor?

Trezor is a popular brand of hardware wallets used to store digital currencies securely. Hardware wallets like Trezor provide a higher level of protection than software wallets by keeping your private keys offline, making it much harder for hackers to access your funds.


Why Choose Trezor?

  • Security: Trezor uses military-grade encryption, making it one of the safest options for cryptocurrency storage.
  • User-Friendly: The setup process via trezor.io/start® is designed to be simple, even for beginners.
  • Compatibility: Trezor supports over 1,000 cryptocurrencies, making it a versatile option for users with diverse portfolios.
  • Backup and Recovery: With a recovery seed, you can easily restore your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.

Getting Started with Trezor: The Basic Requirements

Before you begin the setup process, ensure you have the following:

  • A Trezor device (Trezor One or Trezor Model T)
  • A computer or smartphone
  • A web browser to access the Trezor website (trezor.io/start®)
  • A recovery seed for backup purposes

Step 1: Visit trezor.io/start®

Begin by opening your browser and navigating to trezor.io/start®. This is the official website for setting up your Trezor wallet. The site will guide you through the entire setup process.


Step 2: Connect Your Trezor Device

  • Plug your Trezor device into your computer using the USB cable provided.
  • Ensure that your device is powered on and ready for setup.
  • The Trezor.io/start® website will detect your device and prompt you to follow the on-screen instructions.

Step 3: Install Trezor Bridge or Trezor Suite

  • Trezor Bridge: Trezor Bridge is a small application that enables communication between your Trezor device and the Trezor.io website.
  • Trezor Suite: Trezor Suite is the official desktop application that offers more features than the browser interface, including detailed portfolio management and advanced security settings.
