🔐 What is trezor.io/start?

trezor.io/start is the official setup portal for Trezor devices (Trezor Model One and Trezor Model T). It guides you through:

  • Setting up your new Trezor wallet
  • Installing Trezor Suite (the companion app)
  • Creating or recovering your crypto wallet securely

✅ Step-by-Step Setup Process via trezor.io/start

1. Go to trezor.io/start

  • Visit the URL to begin the setup process.

2. Download Trezor Suite

3. Connect Your Trezor Device

  • Plug in your Trezor Model One or Model T using the USB cable.
  • If prompted, confirm any connection messages on your device screen.

4. Install Firmware (If Needed)

  • If it's your first time, the device may not have firmware.

5. Create a New Wallet

Important: Your recovery seed = full access to your crypto. Never share it online or store it digitally.
