Welcome to the Official Start Page
Trezor.io/Start is your central hub for initializing, securing, and operating your Trezor hardware wallet. Here you will find step-by-step instructions for first-time setup, recovery, firmware verification, and daily best practices. This page ensures you follow the official processes and links to official downloads, so your crypto assets remain safe from threats.
Begin with the official software downloads: Trezor Suite (suite.trezor.io) and Trezor Bridge (trezor.io/bridge). Avoid third-party sources to prevent malware or tampered software. Developers can access APIs and libraries at GitHub and view official documentation at trezor.io/docs.
Installing Trezor Suite and Bridge
Download Trezor Suite for your OS from suite.trezor.io. If your OS requires a transport layer, install Trezor Bridge from trezor.io/bridge. Follow all installation prompts carefully, verifying file checksums where possible to prevent tampering.
- Access Trezor Start or trezor.io.
- Download Trezor Suite and install on your trusted device.
- Install Trezor Bridge if required.
- Connect your Trezor hardware wallet.
- Follow on-screen instructions to create or recover a wallet.
Advanced users and developers can check the Trezor GitHub repos (github.com/trezor) for examples and libraries supporting integrations.
First-Time Setup & Recovery
During initialization, your device generates a recovery seed. Write it down on the provided card and store it securely offline. Never take photos or store it digitally. If you are recovering a wallet, input your seed carefully and verify on-device prompts to avoid malware or keyloggers.
Verify your firmware from trezor.io/firmware and follow security best practices at trezor.io/security.
Daily Usage & Security Practices
Confirm all transaction details on the Trezor device display before approving. This prevents malware on the host computer from modifying transaction data. Consider optional passphrase protection for additional security and separate hidden wallets.
Ensure Trezor Suite and Bridge are installed on all trusted machines you intend to use, and regularly update firmware for security patches.
Troubleshooting & Support
- Device not recognized: reinstall Bridge, try a different cable or USB port.
- Firmware update issues: follow official instructions at trezor.io/firmware.
- Lost recovery seed: your funds may be unrecoverable. Contact Support.
- Suspicious prompts: stop and verify official sources before approving anything.
Developer Integration Notes
Use trezor-connect for integrations. Follow manifest registration, explicit consent flows, and security guidance. Sample scripts demonstrate account discovery, transaction signing, and wallet interactions.
import TrezorConnect from 'trezor-connect';
TrezorConnect.init({ manifest: { email: 'dev@yourapp.com', appUrl: 'https://yourapp.com' }});
TrezorConnect.getPublicKey({ path: "m/44'/0'/0'/0/0" })
.then(res => console.log(res))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
