Welcome to Trezor.io/start, a modern and privacy-first hardware wallet experience designed to help you take full control of your digital assets. This start page guides you through setup, security principles, and best practices using a clean, light-colored interface that focuses on clarity and trust.
Unlike online wallets, a hardware wallet keeps your private keys offline, reducing exposure to malware, phishing, and unauthorized access. Trezor.io/start combines simple onboarding with advanced protection, giving both new and experienced users confidence from the very first step.
• Initialize your hardware wallet safely
• Create and confirm a recovery backup
• Learn essential security habits
• Connect to a companion interface
Begin by connecting your Trezor.io/start device to your computer or mobile device using the provided cable. Always ensure you are using a trusted computer and a private network when performing initial setup.
Follow on-screen instructions to create a new wallet. During this step, your device generates private keys internally, ensuring they never leave the secure environment of the hardware.
You will be shown a recovery phrase. Write it down carefully and store it offline. This backup is the only way to recover your funds if the device is lost or damaged.
Confirm the recovery phrase on your device to ensure it was recorded correctly. Once verified, your wallet is ready for everyday use.
Trezor.io/start is built around the principle that you should be the sole owner of your private keys. All critical actions require physical confirmation on the device itself, protecting you even if your computer becomes compromised.
This mirrored layout intentionally reverses the visual flow to keep the reading experience dynamic while reinforcing important messages. Light colors, generous spacing, and clear typography reduce cognitive load and make security information easier to understand.
• Never share your recovery phrase
• Verify addresses on the device screen
• Keep firmware up to date
• Use a strong PIN
A hardware wallet is a specialized device designed to isolate sensitive cryptographic operations from general-purpose computers. By keeping private keys offline, it significantly lowers the risk of remote attacks. Trezor.io/start follows this model by ensuring that signing transactions and managing keys happens only within the device.
The light-themed interface you see here is intentionally minimal. Visual simplicity supports better decision-making, especially when handling valuable digital assets. Each section is spaced and structured so that users can follow instructions without confusion or unnecessary distractions.
Recovery backups are central to self-custody. Your recovery phrase represents full control over your funds. Anyone who has access to it can restore the wallet on a new device. For this reason, Trezor.io/start strongly recommends keeping backups offline, split across secure locations, and never photographed or stored digitally.
Regular firmware updates help protect against newly discovered vulnerabilities. Trezor.io/start updates are designed to be transparent and easy to install, while still requiring physical confirmation to prevent unauthorized changes.
