How Trezor start works
Step 1 — Download Trezor Suite
Trezor Suite is the official desktop application and web app that connects to your Trezor device. Download the desktop app for the best experience, or use the web app if preferred. Trezor Suite is the recommended first step to complete your hardware wallet setup securely.
Step 2 — Install the app
Install Trezor Suite on your computer and follow the on-screen prompts. Installation is optional if you plan to use the web app, but the desktop client offers the most complete feature set for managing firmware updates, accounts, and advanced settings.
Step 3 — Set up your Trezor
Plug in your Trezor device and run the guided setup. During setup you will create a PIN and generate a recovery seed (a set of words). Keep your recovery seed offline and never share it—this is the only way to recover your wallet.
Step 4 — Move your coins
When setup is complete, you can transfer assets from exchanges or other wallets into your Trezor-controlled addresses. Use the Suite’s receive and account tools to verify addresses and complete transfers safely.
Quick security tips
- Store your recovery seed offline in a secure location.
- Only use official Trezor software and firmware updates.
- Verify the address on your Trezor screen before sending funds.
Following these steps typically takes about 10–20 minutes depending on your familiarity with wallets and transfers.
