Follow the official setup flow: download the Trezor Suite app or continue in-browser, install and initialize your device, secure your recovery, and transfer funds safely.
This concise start guide outlines the recommended steps to initialize and use your Trezor hardware wallet with the Trezor Suite app. It is intended to help new users install the application, set up the device securely, and begin moving and managing cryptocurrency assets.
For the best experience, download the desktop Trezor Suite application. If you prefer not to install anything, you may choose the browser-based web app. Use only the official Trezor download sources.
Install the desktop application for a stable, feature-complete experience. Web users can continue in the browser, but desktop installations offer offline convenience and a consistent UI for advanced features.
Plug your Trezor device into your computer and follow the guided onboarding in Trezor Suite. The setup typically takes around 10–20 minutes and includes firmware checks, device naming, and creating a secure recovery.
Record your device recovery phrase exactly as shown. Store it offline in a safe location. Do not share this phrase with anyone; it is the master key to your funds. Consider using durable backups or a metal seed storage solution for long-term protection.
After setup and verification, transfer assets from exchanges or other wallets into your Trezor-managed addresses. Follow recommended network settings and double-check destination addresses before confirming any transfer.
Verify the device firmware during setup, keep your recovery phrase offline, and avoid entering seed words into any computer or phone. Always confirm software sources and use the official Trezor Suite for firmware updates and sensitive operations.
If you prefer guided assistance, Trezor offers one-on-one expert sessions that walk you through setup and best practices. Sessions are live, require your device present, and provide personalized help for new users.
How long does setup take? Expect about 10–20 minutes for firmware checks and recovery generation.
Do I need Trezor Suite? Trezor Suite provides the recommended experience, but a browser flow is available for quick access.
Is the recovery phrase mandatory? Yes. Without the recovery phrase you cannot restore ownership of the wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
