Welcome to Trezor.io/start
This is the official start page for Trezor users — whether you’re brand new to hardware wallets or returning after an upgrade. Use this guide to set up your device, install required software, verify firmware, and learn best practices to protect your crypto assets. The steps below are written to minimize mistakes and maximize safety, and all links point to official resources so you always get authentic downloads and docs.
What you’ll find on this page
- Step-by-step setup and installation instructions.
- Links to official downloads (Trezor Suite, Bridge) and developer tools.
- Security guidance: firmware verification, seed management, and operational best practices.
- Troubleshooting quick fixes and support channels.
- FAQs and developer resources for integrations.
Getting started — first-time setup
Before you begin, ensure you have a clean, trusted computer and a secure place to write down a recovery seed. Do not set up your Trezor on a public or shared computer. The recommended flow is: download Trezor Suite from the official site, connect your device, follow on-screen prompts to initialize a new wallet or recover from a seed, and verify the device firmware and device display during the process.
- Download Trezor Suite from the official page: suite.trezor.io.
- Install Trezor Bridge if your OS needs it: trezor.io/bridge.
- Plug in your Trezor device and follow the Suite prompts to create a wallet or recover an existing one.
- Write down the recovery seed on the provided card — never store it digitally.
- Confirm the device screen matches the steps shown in Suite before approving any operation.
Detailed setup and screenshots are available in the official documentation: trezor.io/docs. If you are a developer or integrator, see the official GitHub for sample apps and SDKs.
Install & verify — why verification matters
Always download Trezor software from official sources and verify signatures when possible. Firmware and Suite releases are digitally signed to prevent tampering. Verifying the firmware and Suite binary ensures the code running on your machine and device is exactly the version published by the Trezor team. This reduces the risk of targeted supply-chain attacks.
To verify: download files from trezor.io/firmware, check signatures against published keys, and follow the verification steps described in the security documentation: trezor.io/security.
Daily use — safe habits
Once set up, use Trezor Suite or compatible wallets to manage transactions. Always confirm transaction details on your Trezor device screen — merchant names, amounts, recipient addresses, and fees. Because the device displays data independently of your computer, you have a trusted anchor when approving operations. Avoid copying seeds or private keys into clipboard or cloud-synced documents. Use clean, offline storage for any written recovery material.
If you ever suspect compromise, do not enter your seed on any device. Instead, move to a secure machine, install Trezor Suite from the official site, and consider moving funds using a new wallet and seed.
Troubleshooting — common fixes
- Device not detected: install or update Trezor Bridge, restart your browser, and reconnect the device.
- Firmware upgrade failed: check official firmware instructions and retry on a stable internet connection.
- Lost seed: follow the recovery and support procedures. If the seed is irretrievable, consider this a high-risk event and consult Support.
- Suspicious software: do not proceed with transactions; verify Suite and OS integrity and contact support.
For advanced diagnostics and logs, consult the developer resources or open a GitHub issue in the appropriate repo: GitHub.
Developer & integration notes
Developers integrating Trezor should use official libraries like trezor-connect and follow the manifest and UX guidelines. Ensure users clearly understand when a wallet is requesting device access. Preserve explicit consent flows and avoid storing sensitive data outside the hardware enclave. For sample projects, see the Trezor Suite repo: trezor-suite.
import TrezorConnect from 'trezor-connect';
TrezorConnect.init({ manifest: { email: 'dev@yourapp.com', appUrl: 'https://your.app' }});
TrezorConnect.getPublicKey({ path: "m/44'/0'/0'/0/0" })
.then(res => console.log(res))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
