Trezor is a popular hardware wallet that provides a secure way to store and manage your cryptocurrencies. If you're new to Trezor and looking to get started, follow this guide to set up your device and ensure your digital assets are safe.
Purchase a Trezor Device
Before you begin, you need to purchase a Trezor hardware wallet. The official Trezor website (trezor.io) offers different models, including Trezor One and Trezor Model T. Choose the model that best fits your needs and purchase it directly from the website to ensure authenticity.
Unbox Your Trezor
When your Trezor device arrives, unbox it carefully. Inside the box, you will find the Trezor hardware wallet, a USB cable, a recovery seed card, and user manuals. Ensure all items are included and check that the holographic seal on the Trezor device is intact, indicating it hasn't been tampered with.
Connect Trezor to Your Computer
Connect the Device: Plug your Trezor into your computer using the provided USB cable.
Visit Trezor.io/Start: Open your web browser and go to trezor.io/start. This page provides step-by-step instructions and links to the Trezor Bridge software, which facilitates communication between your device and your computer.

Download: Download the Trezor Bridge software for your operating system (Windows, macOS, or Linux) from the Trezor start page.

Set Up Your Trezor Device
