Trezor.io/Start - Secure Your Crypto Journey

Welcome to Trezor.io/Start

Your secure gateway to hardware wallet ownership begins here. Trezor.io/Start is the official onboarding portal designed to guide new and experienced users through the safe setup of Trezor hardware wallets — the gold standard in cryptocurrency self-custody since 2014.

Why Start with Trezor?

Unlike software wallets or exchange-held assets, Trezor devices keep your private keys completely offline. This eliminates risks from phishing, malware, and remote hacks. Every transaction is verified on the device screen, ensuring you sign only what you intend.

                Key Principle: Your seed phrase never leaves the device during setup. Trezor uses Shamir Backup and passphrase protection to split recovery across multiple locations without compromising security.
            

Step-by-Step Setup at Trezor.io/Start

Navigate to trezor.io/start in a clean browser (avoid public or shared devices). The interface detects your model — Trezor One, Model T, or Safe 3 — and downloads the official Trezor Bridge or WebUSB connector automatically.

Unbox & Inspect: Verify holographic seals and serial numbers match. Counterfeit devices cannot access trezor.io/start legitimately.
Connect Device: Use the original USB cable. Trezor Model T offers USB-C; older models use micro-USB.
Install Firmware: trezor.io/start prompts genuine firmware installation. Never enter your seed into any website.
Create New Wallet: The device generates a 12- or 24-word BIP39 seed. Write it on the included recovery card using a metal backup tool for fireproof storage.
Enable Passphrase (Optional): Adds a 13th "hidden" word only you know, creating deniable wallets.

Supported Assets & Integrations

Trezor natively supports over 8,000 coins and tokens, including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Cardano, and all ERC-20 assets. Through Trezor Suite — downloadable post-setup — you can:

Send/receive with QR code scanning
Stake ADA, XTZ, and ETH (via Lido)
Sign PSBTs for CoinJoin privacy
Connect to MetaMask, Rabby, or MyEtherWallet

                Pro Tip: Use Trezor Safe 3’s color touchscreen to verify NFT metadata before minting or transferring — a feature unique to Trezor among open-source wallets.
            

Security Beyond Setup

After initialization, trezor.io/start redirects to Trezor Suite desktop app. Enable:

PIN Matrix: Entered on computer but displayed scrambled on device
U2F/Webauthn: Hardware 2FA for Gmail, Dropbox, GitHub
Shamir Secret Sharing (SLIP39): Split seed into 3-of-5 shares for inheritance planning

Common Pitfalls to Avoid

Scammers mimic trezor.io/start with typosquatted domains. Always type the URL manually or bookmark the official link. Never photograph your seed phrase or store it digitally. Trezor support will never ask for your recovery words.

Enterprise & Developer Tools

Trezor.io/start also serves institutional users. Generate xPubs for watch-only wallets, export signed messages for KYC, or integrate via HWI (Hardware Wallet Interface) with Electrum, Sparrow, or Specter.

Trezor’s firmware is fully open-source on GitHub. Every line of code can be audited. The Trezor Wiki and Reddit community provide peer-reviewed guides for advanced setups like multisig with Caravan or Specter-DIY.

With over 1 million devices sold and zero reported seed extractions, Trezor remains the most battle-tested hardware wallet. Start your journey today at trezor.io/start — where security meets simplicity.
