What is the Trezor Wallet?

Trezor Wallet is a hardware wallet that stores your cryptocurrency private keys offline, protecting your funds from online theft. Trezor devices (Trezor Model T, Trezor One) provide a secure environment for signing transactions, verifying addresses on-device, and keeping the recovery seed isolated from networked systems. This guide helps beginners install Trezor Wallet, back up their recovery seed, and follow essential security practices.

Quick setup — step by step

1. Download Trezor Suite from the official site and install it on your computer.
2. Connect your Trezor device and initialize it using the on-screen prompts.
3. Choose a PIN and write down the 12–24 word recovery seed on paper — store it offline.
4. Add cryptocurrency accounts in the Suite and verify addresses on the device before sending funds.

Backup & recovery

Always keep the recovery seed offline. Store the seed in a safe place (safety deposit box, secure home safe). Never type the seed into any website or share it with anyone — it’s the single master key to restore your wallet if the device is lost or damaged.

Security best practices

• Download software only from the official Trezor domain.
• Verify firmware updates via the Trezor Suite and check signatures.
• Use a strong device PIN and consider passphrase protection for added layers.
