Welcome to Trezor Wallet

Welcome to the official Trezor Wallet! Your journey into secure cryptocurrency storage begins here. Trezor Wallet is designed to give you full control over your crypto assets while maintaining maximum security. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced user, this guide will walk you step-by-step through the setup process.

With Trezor, your private keys are always stored offline, safe from hackers and malicious software. Our wallet interface is user-friendly and accessible via web or desktop applications, ensuring you have a seamless experience.

Step 1: Unboxing Your Trezor Device

Before you start using your Trezor Wallet, it's important to carefully unpack your device. Here’s what to look for:

• Your Trezor device (Trezor Model One or Trezor Model T)
• A USB cable for connecting to your computer
• A recovery seed card to safely write down your recovery phrase
• Instruction manual and safety labels

Always ensure the device packaging is intact and the holographic seals are not broken. A tampered device may compromise security.

Step 2: Connecting Your Device

Once unboxed, connect your Trezor device to your computer using the provided USB cable. Follow these steps:

1. Visit the official Trezor website at trezor.io/start
2. Open the Trezor Wallet application in your browser or download the desktop app.
3. Select your Trezor model (One or T) and click “Connect.”
4. The device will display a welcome message confirming the connection.

Your Trezor device communicates with your computer securely, ensuring your private keys never leave the device.

Step 3: Installing Firmware

For security reasons, Trezor devices require the latest firmware. Follow these steps to install or update firmware:

• After connecting the device, the Trezor Wallet app will check for firmware updates automatically.
• If an update is needed, click Install Firmware.
• Follow on-screen instructions and never disconnect your device during the process.
• Once complete, your device will reboot and be ready for setup.

Keeping firmware up-to-date ensures protection against vulnerabilities and new security features.

Step 4: Creating a New Wallet

After updating firmware, you can create a new wallet. Your Trezor device will guide you through generating a secure wallet. Steps include:

1. Click Create New Wallet in the Trezor Wallet app.
2. Choose a PIN code for your device. This adds an extra layer of security.
3. Write down your 24-word recovery seed on the provided card. Keep it in a safe place; this is the only way to recover your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
4. Confirm your recovery seed by selecting words in the correct order on the device.

Never store your recovery phrase digitally or share it with anyone. Anyone with access to your seed can control your funds.

Step 5: Receiving Cryptocurrency

Once your wallet is ready, you can start receiving crypto:

• In the Trezor Wallet app, select Receive.
• Choose the cryptocurrency you want to receive.
• Copy the wallet address or scan the QR code provided by your device.
• Share this address with the sender. Always verify it on your device screen to prevent address tampering.

Receiving crypto is straightforward, but always double-check the address before sending or receiving large amounts.

Step 6: Sending Cryptocurrency

Sending crypto securely is just as important. Follow these steps:

1. Click Send in the Trezor Wallet app.
2. Select the cryptocurrency you want to send.
3. Enter the recipient’s address and amount.
4. Verify the transaction details on your Trezor device before confirming.

Always verify transaction details on the device, not just on the screen, to prevent phishing attacks or malware interference.

Step 7: Backing Up Your Wallet

Backing up your wallet is crucial for recovery. The 24-word recovery seed generated during setup is your only backup. Tips:

• Write the recovery seed clearly on the card provided.
• Store multiple copies in separate secure locations.
• Never take a photo or save the seed digitally.
• Test recovery on a spare device if possible.

With your recovery seed, you can restore your wallet anytime, even if your Trezor device is lost or damaged.

Step 8: Using Advanced Features

Trezor Wallet offers advanced features for experienced users:

• Multi-Currency Support: Manage Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of other cryptocurrencies.
• Exchange Integration: Swap crypto directly within the wallet using integrated exchanges.
• Password Manager: Store and generate secure passwords for online accounts.
• Passphrase Protection: Add a custom passphrase to enhance wallet security.

Advanced features offer additional security and flexibility but require careful handling. Always follow the instructions provided by Trezor.

Step 9: Security Best Practices

Security is the top priority when using a Trezor Wallet. Follow these best practices:

• Never share your PIN or recovery seed with anyone.
• Verify your device’s firmware is always up-to-date.
• Use a hardware wallet instead of storing crypto on exchanges.
• Regularly monitor your wallet for unauthorized access.
• Enable additional security features like passphrases for sensitive holdings.

By following these steps, your funds remain safe even if your computer is compromised.
