To set up your Trezor Wallet, follow these steps outlined on the official Trezor.io/start page:
Ensure that the Trezor device packaging is intact and has not been tampered with.
Inside, you'll find your Trezor wallet (Model One or Model T), a USB cable, and instructions.
Use the included USB cable to connect your Trezor wallet to your computer or smartphone.
Visit trezor.io/start to download Trezor Suite, the official application for managing your wallet.
Desktop version: Download for Windows, macOS, or Linux.
Web version: Use the web app directly in your browser.
When you open Trezor Suite, follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your wallet:
Choose a Setup Option:
Create a new wallet.
Recover an existing wallet using a recovery seed.
Firmware Update:
If required, update your Trezor device's firmware. Trezor Suite will prompt you if an update is necessary.
The wallet will generate a 12- or 24-word recovery seed phrase.
Write this phrase down on paper and store it in a secure, offline location. Do not save it digitally or share it with anyone.
Important: Your recovery seed is the only way to recover your funds if you lose your Trezor device.
Create a secure PIN code for your device. The PIN protects your Trezor from unauthorized access.
Once the setup is complete, you can use Trezor Suite to:
View your cryptocurrency balances.
Send and receive coins and tokens.
Securely store digital assets.
Access advanced features like staking or DeFi integrations.
Enable Passphrase Protection: Add an extra layer of security by enabling a passphrase.
Shamir Backup: If you're using a Trezor Model T, consider setting up a Shamir Backup for a more secure recovery option.
If you encounter any issues during setup, Trezor offers detailed guides and customer support. Visit Trezor Support for assistance.
