Trezor.io/Start® | Starting Up Your Device | Trézór®
Welcome to the world of Trézór®, the trusted name in cryptocurrency security. If you've just received your Trezor hardware wallet, congratulations on taking a vital step toward securing your digital assets. This guide will walk you through the essential steps of setting up your device safely and confidently via Trezor.io/Start.
What Is Trézór®?
Trézór® is a hardware wallet designed to keep your cryptocurrency and digital assets secure from online threats. Unlike software wallets, a Trezor wallet stores your private keys offline, significantly reducing the risk of hacks, phishing attacks, and malware.
Trezor supports thousands of coins and tokens, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), and more. It's more than a wallet — it’s your personal security vault.
Why Visit Trezor.io/Start®?
The only official place to begin setting up your Trezor device is Trezor.io/Start. This website ensures you're using authentic software and firmware, avoiding third-party risks and potential scams. Always check for the padlock symbol in your browser and verify the URL is correct.
