Getting Started with Trézōr.io/start
Welcome to your new Trézōr hardware wallet! Follow these simple steps to set up your device securely and start managing your cryptocurrencies with confidence.
1 Visit Trézōr.io/start
Connect your Trézōr device to your computer using the provided USB cable. Then open your web browser and navigate to Trézōr.io/start.
The website will automatically detect your device and guide you through the setup process.
2 Install Trézōr Bridge
If this is your first time using Trézōr, you'll need to install Trézōr Bridge - a communication tool that allows your browser to interact with the device.
Follow the on-screen instructions to download and install the appropriate version for your operating system.
3 Initialize Your Device
Choose whether to create a new wallet or recover an existing one:
- New wallet: For first-time users
- Recovery: If you're restoring from a backup
4 Set Up Your PIN
Create a secure PIN to protect your device from unauthorized access. The PIN is entered using the Trézōr's touchscreen in a randomized layout for security.
Choose a PIN that's easy for you to remember but hard for others to guess.
5 Write Down Your Recovery Seed
Your device will generate a 12, 18, or 24-word recovery seed. This is the most important piece of information!
- Write it down exactly as shown on the device
- Store it securely offline
- Never share it with anyone
- Never store it digitally
6 Confirm Your Recovery Seed
To ensure you've written it down correctly, your Trézōr will ask you to confirm several words from your recovery phrase.
This step verifies that you have a proper backup in case your device is lost or damaged.
7 Install Firmware (If Needed)
If your device requires a firmware update, follow the prompts to install the latest version. This ensures you have all the latest security features.
The process is automatic and only takes a few minutes.
8 Access Your Wallet
Once setup is complete, you can access your wallet through Trézōr Suite (desktop app) or via Trézōr.io/web.
From here you can:
- Receive cryptocurrencies
- Send transactions
- Manage multiple accounts
- Explore advanced features
