Get started with your Trezor hardware wallet
Download Trezor Suite, set up your device in a few steps, create a secure recovery, and move your assets safely to cold storage.
Start securely: download, install, and connect
Begin your Trezor setup by downloading the official Trezor Suite desktop app or using the web app. The recommended path is the desktop Suite for the most complete experience; the browser-based Suite is available if you prefer immediate access without installation.
How to complete your Trezor setup
Download Trezor Suite
Visit the official download page to fetch the Trezor Suite installer for your operating system. Verify the download with the checksums provided if you require maximum supply-chain assurance.
Install and open the Suite
Run the installer and open Trezor Suite. Accept any OS prompts and allow the app to run; the desktop Suite offers the most robust feature set for managing accounts and interactions with third-party apps.
Connect your Trezor device
Plug your Trezor into your computer using the provided USB cable. Follow the on-screen instructions in Trezor Suite to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. Your private keys remain stored on the device — they never leave the hardware key.
Create and secure your recovery
Write down your recovery seed exactly as displayed and store it offline in a safe place. Treat the recovery seed as the ultimate key to your funds — never digitize or share it. Consider metal backup options for durability against fire or water.
Move or receive funds
Once setup is complete, choose an account, generate a receiving address, and transfer a small test transaction first. When confirmed, you can transfer larger balances from exchanges into your Trezor for long-term custody.
Explore DApps and integrations
Use Trezor Suite to interface with supported third-party wallets and decentralized applications. Always confirm transaction details on the Trezor device screen before approving to prevent phishing or unauthorized spends.
Security best practices
Security is the foundation of any hardware wallet workflow. Keep your device firmware updated, verify package integrity at receipt, never share your recovery seed, and confirm every transaction on the device's screen. If you suspect compromise, move funds to a freshly initialized device and rotate your recovery seed.
When to seek expert help
If you prefer guided setup, a personal onboarding session with an expert can walk you through device initialization, seed backup, and first transfers in real time. Expert sessions are useful for first-time users or for onboarding high-value accounts.
