• User-Friendly: The interface is intuitive and easy to use, even for beginners.
• Compatibility: Trezor supports a wide range of cryptocurrencies, making it a versatile choice for any crypto portfolio.

Setting Up Your Trezor Wallet

Setting up your Trezor wallet is a straightforward process. Follow these steps to get started:

Step 1: Unbox Your Trezor

When you receive your Trezor device, it will come with the following items:

1. Trezor device
2. USB cable
3. Recovery seed card
4. Instruction manual

Step 2: Connect Your Trezor to Your Computer

Using the provided USB cable, connect your Trezor to your computer. A prompt will appear on the device screen, guiding you through the initial setup.

Step 3: Visit trezor.io/start

Open your web browser and navigate to trezor.io/start. Here, you'll find detailed instructions and the necessary software to install on your computer.

Step 4: Install Trezor Bridge

Trezor Bridge is a piece of software that allows your Trezor device to communicate with your computer. Download and install Trezor Bridge from the Trezor start page.

Step 5: Initialize Your Trezor

Once Trezor Bridge is installed, follow the on-screen instructions to initialize your Trezor. This will involve creating a new wallet and setting up a PIN.

Step 6: Backup Your Recovery Seed

During the setup process, Trezor will generate a recovery seed – a list of 12 to 24 words. Write these words down on the recovery seed card and store it in a safe place. This seed is crucial for recovering your wallet if you ever lose access to your Trezor device.
