Welcome to Trezor — Your Journey to True Crypto Ownership Begins Here

Welcome to Trezor.io/start, the official gateway to securing your digital assets. Congratulations on taking the most critical step toward true financial sovereignty by choosing a Trezor hardware wallet. Here, you’ll find everything you need to unbox, set up, and start protecting your cryptocurrency with the world’s most trusted cold wallet.

For over 12 years, Trezor has been the gold standard in crypto security, trusted by over 2 million users worldwide. Our mission is simple: to give you absolute ownership and control of your digital wealth. Online, your crypto is exposed—hackers hunt, scammers steal, and exchanges can fail. With Trezor, you break free from these risks. Your private keys are generated and stored 100% offline, placing an impenetrable barrier between your assets and any online threat.

🚀 Get Started with Your New Trezor

Setting up your Trezor is a straightforward process that takes about 15 minutes. Follow these four simple steps to achieve peace of mind.

1. Download Trezor Suite App

Begin by downloading the Trezor Suite app for desktop for the best experience. You can also click “Continue in browser” to use the web app directly.

2. Install the App

Install the desktop application on your computer. This step ensures optimal performance and security but is not required if you choose to use the web app.

3. Set Up Your Trezor Device

Connect your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer via USB. The intuitive setup wizard in Trezor Suite will guide you through creating a new wallet, generating your unique recovery seed phrase, and configuring your PIN. This is the foundation of your security.

4. Move Your Coins

You're now ready to securely protect your crypto. We provide clear guides on how to safely transfer your assets from exchanges or other wallets directly to your Trezor.

✨ Why Your Crypto Belongs in a Trezor

Your Crypto Shouldn't Be Someone Else's Payday

Holding crypto on an exchange means it's not truly yours. You are exposed to third-party risks. Trezor eliminates this by ensuring only you hold the keys. This is the core of self-custody: absolute ownership and control. No bank, government, or exchange can access, freeze, or take your assets.

One Wallet, Zero Limits

Trezor is your gateway to the entire crypto ecosystem without compromising security.

Manage Thousands of Assets: Your device supports thousands of coins and tokens across leading networks like Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Cardano, and more.
Explore Freely: Securely interact with DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and DEXs using WalletConnect, all while your private keys remain safely offline in your Trezor.
All-in-One Hub: Use Trezor Suite to seamlessly buy, sell, swap, and stake selected cryptocurrencies in a secure, intuitive interface.

Built on Uncompromising, Open-Source Security

Trezor is different by design. We are stubbornly open-source, meaning our code is transparent and auditable by security experts worldwide. This community-driven verification builds unmatched trust. Features like our optional passphrase and next-generation secure elements provide future-proof protection.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I really need a hardware wallet if I use a big exchange?

Yes. Exchange hacks and failures still occur. Holding crypto on an exchange means the platform controls your assets, not you. A Trezor gives you true ownership, eliminating third-party risk with industry-leading, offline security.

What happens if I lose my Trezor device?

Your crypto remains completely safe as long as you have your recovery seed phrase (created during setup). You can restore your entire wallet onto a new Trezor device using this phrase. Think of it as your ultimate backup key—always store it securely offline and never share it.

Can I use DeFi, trade, or buy NFTs with Trezor?

Absolutely, and you can do so more securely. Through integration with WalletConnect in Trezor Suite, you can connect to decentralized apps (like Uniswap), NFT platforms (like OpenSea), and other services. You can trade and interact while your private keys remain protected within your Trezor device.

Is self-custody too technical or complicated?

Not with Trezor. We are designed to make self-custody accessible to everyone. The setup process is guided and straightforward, with an intuitive interface. You maintain full control without dealing with unnecessary complexity.

I only have a small amount of crypto. Is a hardware wallet necessary?

Yes. Crypto is a long-term investment. What seems like a small amount today could grow significantly in the future. A Trezor ensures your assets are protected from day one, providing a secure foundation as your portfolio grows.

Are there any hidden fees when using Trezor?

No. Trezor believes in full transparency. There are no hidden fees for using our hardware or software. When you send crypto, you only pay the standard network transaction fee (e.g., to Bitcoin miners). In Trezor Suite, all costs for buying, selling, or swapping are displayed upfront.
