Start safely with Trezor
Welcome to trezor.io/start — the streamlined onboarding page for all new and returning Trezor users. Follow the official steps: download Trezor Suite (our desktop app), install Trezor Bridge if your browser requires it, connect your Trezor device, and complete a secure setup. This guide emphasizes clear security actions so your private keys remain offline and under your control.
Get Trezor Suite for your computer — the easiest way to manage devices, accounts, transactions, and firmware updates. Choose the appropriate platform from the download list on the right.
Some browsers require Trezor Bridge to communicate with your device. Install Bridge to enable reliable USB connectivity and avoid browser compatibility issues.
Plug your Trezor into USB and open Trezor Suite. Follow the on-screen setup assistant to create a new device or restore an existing recovery seed. Keep your seed offline — never store it digitally.
Always verify addresses and actions directly on your Trezor screen before confirming. Activate optional passphrase protection for added security and enable device lock features.
Use Trezor Suite to check balances, send transactions, and connect to supported apps. Review security tips and official documentation to keep your setup resilient.
