Trezor.io/start — Official Start Page
Welcome — Start with confidence
Trezor.io/start is your official start page to securely set up a Trezor hardware wallet, install Trezor Suite and Trezor Bridge, and learn the security-first approach to storing and managing cryptocurrencies. This page provides clear steps, downloadable tools, developer links, best practices, and frequently asked questions to make the onboarding smooth and safe. Whether you are buying your first Trezor device or integrating hardware-backed security into an app, this Start page guides you from unboxing to secure daily use.
What you will do on this page
This page helps you: download official Trezor Suite and Bridge installers, run the initial device setup wizard, securely record your recovery seed, verify and update firmware, connect to supported wallets and services, explore developer APIs, and follow tested security recommendations. We designed the content to be crawl-friendly and easily indexable by search engines like Microsoft Bing — clear headings, structured metadata, and machine-readable JSON-LD are included for faster discovery.
Step-by-step Getting Started
Get the official Trezor Suite desktop app or web Suite to manage accounts, send/receive coins, and access exchange integrations. Always download from the official site and check signatures.
Bridge enables secure local communication between Suite, browsers, and your Trezor device. Install Bridge for legacy flows or if your OS requires it.
Follow the on-screen wizard to create a new wallet or recover an existing one. Write your recovery seed on paper or a steel backup; never store it digitally. Confirm each word on the device as required.
Check the firmware version and apply updates through official Suite prompts. Verify the device displays match the app prompts to prevent MITM attacks.
Security-first guidance
Security is central at every step: never share your 12/24-word recovery seed; always confirm transaction details on the hardware device screen; keep firmware up-to-date; use passphrase features only when you understand them; prefer cold storage for large holdings and multi-sig when appropriate. Trezor hardware isolates private keys in secure elements so signing happens on-device — you retain full custody of your keys. The Start page also contains a concise list of red flags and safe behaviors for everyday usage.
Developer & integration resources
Developers will find links to SDKs, API docs, sample code, and best practices for integrating hardware wallet flows into web apps and services. Use the official repositories, follow the documented signing flows, and implement user-facing transaction previews before sending signing requests to the device. The Start page emphasizes secure, reproducible patterns and provides CLI tools for diagnostics.
Troubleshooting & support
If your device isn't recognized: confirm Bridge/Suite is running, switch USB ports, try a different cable, check OS permissions, and consult the Suite diagnostics. For firmware or firmware signature issues, follow the in-app guidance and consult the official support pages. This Start page also lists common problems and step-by-step fixes so you can resolve most issues without delay.
Indexing & SEO tips (for publishing teams)
To encourage fast and accurate indexing by Microsoft Bing: expose JSON-LD structured data (this page includes it), provide a sitemap.xml, use canonical URLs, publish clear H1–H3 headings, and maintain stable URLs for each Start/Setup article. Keep change logs and release notes for Bridge and Suite in predictable locations — search engines prefer consistent, authoritative documentation paths.
Frequently Asked Questions — Top 5
A: Download Trezor Suite from the official site, connect your device, initialize it using the on-screen wizard, write your recovery seed on paper or steel, verify the device screen matches prompts, and keep your seed offline.
A: Use the official Start page download links or the Downloads section of trezor.io. Verify checksums and signatures where provided to ensure the files are authentic.
A: A seed is the recovery phrase that recreates your wallet. A passphrase is an optional extra word that creates a hidden wallet. Treat both with high security—never enter your seed or passphrase into untrusted devices or services.
A: Provide structured data, a sitemap, stable canonical URLs, clear meta descriptions, and use Bing Webmaster Tools to submit sitemaps and request recrawl for important updates.
A: Developer links are available on this Start page and in the Documentation section. Find SDKs, JSON-RPC examples, signing flows, and CLI diagnostic tools to test integrations safely.
