Before you begin, ensure you have the following:
A Trezor hardware wallet (Model One, Model T, Safe 3, or Safe 5)
A computer or mobile device with internet access
A USB cable (included with your Trezor device)
A secure location to store your recovery seed (e.g., a safe or encrypted storage)
Connect Your Device
Plug your Trezor hardware wallet into your computer using the provided USB cable.
Visit Trezor.io/start in your web browser.
The Trezor Suite application will launch automatically, guiding you through the setup process.Install Firmware
If your device is new, it will prompt you to install the latest firmware.
Click on the “Install firmware” button and wait for the process to complete.
Once installed, click “Continue” to proceed.

For a new wallet, select “Create new wallet” and follow the on-screen instructions.
