Welcome to Trezor.io/start — your official step-by-step launchpad for setting up a Trezor hardware wallet. Whether you’re a first-time user or migrating an existing seed, this guide explains secure initialization, firmware checks, backup best practices, and seamless integration with wallets and exchanges.
Quick start checklist
- Unbox & inspect device for tamper evidence.

Security essentials
Enable a strong PIN, never type your recovery phrase digitally, and consider a metal backup plate for durability. Keep recovery copies in separate secure locations and avoid sharing the phrase under any circumstances.
Compatibility & integrations
Trezor supports Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and many ERC-20 tokens. For less-common chains, check integration lists on Trezor.io/start and prefer wallets with native support for advanced DeFi interactions.
Troubleshooting
If the device is unresponsive, try a different USB cable/port, update firmware through Trezor Suite, or contact official support if you suspect tampering. Always test with a small transaction first.
