Trézor® is the ultimate hardware wallet that provides cutting-edge security for your cryptocurrency. 🚀 Unlike software wallets, your private keys remain offline, making it virtually impossible for hackers to access them. This guide helps you get started with your Trézor® device safely and efficiently.
When you open your Trézor® package, you will find:
Before setup, check for tamper-evident seals. 🔍 Ensuring your device is intact guarantees it hasn’t been tampered with during shipping. Trézor® takes security seriously, and a visual check is the first step.
Open your browser and go to Trézor.io/Start®. This page guides you through the setup process and helps you install Trézor Suite, the companion software for managing your cryptocurrencies.
Download Trézor Suite for your operating system. 🖥️ Trézor Suite allows you to manage multiple cryptocurrencies, track balances, send and receive funds securely, and customize device settings.
Power on your device and select “Create New Wallet.” Your Trézor® will generate a unique recovery seed consisting of 12-24 words. ✍️ Write these words carefully on the provided recovery card. This is your only way to recover your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.
The recovery seed is your ultimate backup. 🛡️ Store it in a safe, offline location. Never share it with anyone, and avoid digital storage options like photos or cloud services.
Trézor® allows you to set a PIN code to prevent unauthorized access. 🔒 The PIN is entered directly on your device, making it safe from keyloggers or malware.
For advanced security, enable a passphrase—a 25th word that adds an extra layer of protection to your recovery seed.
Generate a new receiving address via Trézor Suite. Share this address with the sender. 🪙 All transactions are signed offline on your device, keeping your private keys secure.
Enter the recipient address and amount in Trézor Suite. Confirm the transaction on the device. ✅ This ensures that malware on your computer cannot manipulate your transactions.
Keep your device firmware updated for the latest security patches and features. ⚡ All updates are verified to prevent tampering.
Trézor® supports multiple wallets on one device. This is perfect for separating personal and business funds or managing different cryptocurrencies.
