Getting Started with Your Trezor
Welcome to the official setup guide for your new Trezor hardware wallet. As the world's first and most secure cryptocurrency hardware wallet, Trezor provides unparalleled protection for your digital assets against online threats, malware, and physical theft.
Before beginning the setup process, ensure you have your Trezor device, the provided USB cable, and access to a computer with an internet connection. Always set up your device in a secure environment without potential overlooking or recording devices. Remember to only use official Trezor websites and never share your recovery seed with anyone.
The setup process consists of three main phases: installing the Trezor Bridge software, initializing your device, and backing up your recovery seed. Each step is designed to ensure you maintain complete control over your private keys while creating a secure environment for your digital assets. The entire process typically takes about 10-15 minutes to complete.

Your Trezor hardware wallet keeps your private keys isolated from your computer and the internet. This air-gapped security approach ensures that even if your computer is compromised, your cryptocurrencies remain safe. Regularly update your device firmware to benefit from the latest security enhancements and features.
For optimal security, we recommend enabling passphrase encryption and using the Shamir Backup feature for advanced protection of your digital assets. Always purchase your Trezor device from official sources to avoid tampered devices, and never enter your recovery seed on any website or software other than the official Trezor interface.
