Why choose Trezor®?
Trezor® provides hardware-level security for your private keys: keys stay on the device, never on a connected computer. That means your crypto is protected against malware, phishing, keyloggers, and remote hacks. Whether you're storing Bitcoin, Ethereum, or thousands of tokens, Trezor® offers a secure, transparent, and auditable way to hold your assets. ✓
Quick start — 6 steps to secure setup
- Unbox & verify: Check the tamper-evident seal and confirm you received a genuine device from an authorized seller.
- Connect: Plug your Trezor® into your computer or mobile device and open the official start page:
trezor.io/start. - Install: Follow the on-screen installer to run the official Suite or use the web-based interface. Use only the official site.
- Create PIN: Choose a strong PIN you can remember — never share it. Trezor® will require this PIN to unlock the device.
- Write down recovery seed: The recovery seed (24 words) is your lifeline — write it on the supplied card, store it offline, and consider secure multi-location storage. Never store your seed digitally. ✷
- Confirm & transact: Confirm addresses on the Trezor® screen before sending or receiving crypto. The device shows the final details for you to review.
Compatibility & support
Trezor® works with major wallets, exchanges, and DeFi platforms. It supports desktop and mobile via the Trezor Suite, and integrates with many third-party wallets through secure protocols. Use official guides and firmware updates to stay protected.
Best practices & safety checklist
- Always use trezor.io or the official Suite — bookmark it.
- Keep firmware up to date. Check release notes from the official source.
- Never reveal your recovery seed — treat it like gold. Store physically and redundantly.
- Confirm receiving addresses on the device screen (not just on your computer).
- Use passphrases only if you understand their implications — they add security but must be remembered.
Everyday use & transactions
When sending funds, Trezor® displays the exact address and amount to confirm on-device. This prevents man-in-the-middle and clipboard attacks. For advanced users, consider segregating funds across multiple devices or using a passphrase for hidden wallets. •
Common recovery scenarios
If your device is lost or damaged, you can recover funds using the 24-word seed on another Trezor® or compatible hardware wallet. Keep recovery instructions in a safe, offline location and test recovery before storing large amounts.
Final thoughts
Trezor® empowers you with control over your crypto. Start securely, follow official instructions, and combine hardware security with prudent personal practices to protect your digital assets for years to come. For official resources, guides, and downloads visit trezor.io.
