1. Download the Suite

Get the official Trezor Suite for your operating system. The app verifies your device and firmware for a safe start.

2. Install & connect

Install the application (optional for web users), plug your Trezor device into USB, and follow the on-screen prompts.

3. Create your backup

Record the recovery seed on paper (or a metal backup). Store it offline in a secure location — the seed is your only recovery option.

Why use a hardware wallet?

A hardware wallet stores private keys offline so they never touch an internet-connected device. This dramatically reduces the risk of remote hacks, keyloggers and malware. Using Trezor with the official app gives you a secure, auditable environment for managing coins, signing transactions and verifying addresses on the device’s screen.

Setup tips

Verify device
Confirm the device screen prompts and firmware signatures before proceeding.
Write the seed physically
Never store recovery seeds on a computer or cloud storage.
Keep firmware updated
Updates include important security and compatibility fixes.

Transferring coins

When you’re ready to move funds from an exchange or hot wallet, start with a small transfer to verify address accuracy and confirm everything works. Use the Suite’s receive address generator and cross-check the address snippet on your device display before sending.

Frequently asked questions

How long does setup take?

Expect about 10–20 minutes to install the Suite, create a seed, and familiarize yourself with basic functions.

What if I lose my device?

As long as you have the recovery seed, you can restore your wallet on a new compatible device. Protect your seed as it is the ultimate key to your funds.

Can I use multiple coins?

Yes — hardware wallets typically support many chains via the Suite or compatible third-party wallets. Check supported coins in the Suite before sending large amounts.
