Welcome to the world of secure cryptocurrency management. Follow our step-by-step guide to set up your Trezor hardware wallet and protect your digital assets with the industry's most trusted security solution.
Begin your security journey by downloading the Trezor Suite application. Available for Windows, macOS, and Linux, Trezor Suite provides the optimal experience for managing your cryptocurrencies. The desktop app offers enhanced security features and faster performance compared to the web version. If you prefer browser-based access, simply select "Continue in browser" to use the web app without installation.
Once downloaded, run the installer to set up Trezor Suite on your computer. The installation process is straightforward and typically completes within minutes. For web app users, no installation is necessary—your secure connection begins immediately. Ensure you're downloading from the official trezor.io/start page to avoid counterfeit software. Always verify the digital signatures for added security.
Connect your Trezor device to your computer using the supplied USB cable. The setup wizard will guide you through initializing your device, which includes generating your unique recovery seed—the most critical security element. This process typically takes about 15 minutes. Carefully write down your recovery seed on the provided card and store it in a secure location. Never digitize this seed or share it with anyone.
With your Trezor successfully set up, you're ready to transfer your cryptocurrencies from exchanges or other wallets to your secure Trezor hardware wallet. Navigate to the receive section in Trezor Suite to find your deposit addresses. Always verify addresses on your Trezor device screen before sending funds. For large transfers, consider first sending a small test transaction to confirm everything works correctly.
