Welcome to your Trezór® kick-off. This presentation-style guide walks you through a clean, trustworthy setup via Trezór.io/Start®, covering device initialization, firmware, recovery seed, and essential security hygiene. Keep this page open while you unbox, and follow the headings (H1–H5) for a smooth, best-practice experience.
The Start portal verifies your firmware, guides you to trusted downloads, and ensures you initialize the device in a safe, offline-first manner. It’s the canonical route to pair your Trezór Model One or Model T, check cables, and detect tampering. If a screen, seal, or cable looks suspicious, stop and only proceed through the official link above.
Use the included cable and plug into a trusted computer. Your device should power on and display the Trezór welcome. The Start page will recommend the correct bridge/driver and desktop app, then prompt you to confirm the cable and USB connection. Keep your device visible at all times.
From the official portal, install the Trezór desktop app and follow on-screen firmware prompts. Installing firmware from a trusted source is non-negotiable. Never use files from forums or direct messages. If your device asks for confirmation, read every word before approving.
Choose Create new wallet. The device will generate a recovery seed. This is your ultimate backup. Write it on paper (or metal), offline, in order, and store it in two secure places. Never type it on a keyboard, never take photos, and never upload it to the cloud.
After setup, use the app to add accounts for BTC, ETH, and supported networks. Confirm receive addresses on the device screen itself—what you see on the device is the truth. For sends, compare the destination twice and verify the amount and fee on device before confirming.
Your coins stay on their respective blockchains. Restore them with your recovery seed on a new Trezór. That seed is your lifeline—guard it like cash, jewelry, and identity documents combined.
Yes. The private keys never leave the device. Just install the official app on each machine.
It adds a secret 25th word to your seed for a hidden wallet. It’s powerful but must be memorized or stored safely. If you forget it, funds in that hidden wallet are unrecoverable.
Crypto self-custody works because your hardware wallet keeps keys offline. Success depends on your discipline: keep systems clean, avoid browser extensions you don’t need, and treat unsolicited “support” messages as threats. When moving significant value, test with a small transaction first.
You connected your Trezór, installed verified software, created a secure wallet, and learned to confirm addresses on-device before sending. With backups in place and the Start portal bookmarked, you’re set to manage assets safely. Return to these steps whenever you add a new computer, update firmware, or want to double-check best practices.
