Welcome to Trezor

This guide will help you get started with your Trezor device, from unboxing to your first transaction.
What is Trezor Suite?
Trezor Suite is the official application used to manage your Trezor hardware wallet. It is available as a desktop application for Windows, macOS, and Linux. Trezor Suite gives you a clean and user-friendly interface to view balances, send or receive crypto, and update security settings.
- View and manage all your accounts in one place

Setting Up Your Trezor Device
To start using your device:
- Connect your Trezor to your computer using the USB cable
- Visit the official site: trezor.io/start
- Download and install Trezor Suite
- Follow the setup instructions provided in the app
During setup, you’ll be guided through creating a wallet, choosing a PIN, and backing up your recovery seed.
Backing Up and Securing Your Wallet
Your recovery seed is the key to your wallet. It is a series of 12, 18, or 24 words shown only once during setup. This is the only way to recover your funds if your device is lost or damaged.
- Write your seed on the recovery card provided
- Do not take a photo or store it online
- Store the card in a safe place
After the seed is backed up, set a strong PIN to protect access to your Trezor device.
Adding Crypto to Your Trezor
Once setup is complete, you can begin adding cryptocurrency to your wallet. Trezor supports a wide range of coins including Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and ERC-20 tokens.
- Open Trezor Suite
- Select the coin you want to receive
- Click "Receive" to generate your wallet address
- Copy the address and send funds to it from your exchange or another wallet
To send funds, simply go to the "Send" tab, input the recipient address, amount, and confirm the transaction using your device.
Best Practices and Tips
- Double-check all wallet addresses before sending
- Keep your firmware updated through Trezor Suite
- Use a strong and memorable PIN
- Enable advanced features like Passphrase for extra security
- Test small transactions before sending large amounts
By following these steps, you’ll ensure your digital assets are as safe as possible while still being accessible when you need them.
