1. Introduction to Trèzōr

Trèzōr® is one of the most trusted names in cryptocurrency security, providing a hardware wallet that ensures your digital assets are protected from theft, hacks, and online vulnerabilities. Created by SatoshiLabs, Trèzōr was the world’s first hardware wallet, launched in 2014, and has remained a market leader thanks to its open-source philosophy, excellent security, and ease of use.

2. What is a Hardware Wallet?

A hardware wallet is a physical device that stores your private keys — the secret cryptographic codes that prove your ownership of cryptocurrencies — offline, away from potential online threats like viruses and hackers. When used properly, hardware wallets like Trèzōr ensure that no one else can access your crypto, even if your computer is compromised.

5. Unboxing Your Trèzōr Device

When you receive your Trèzōr wallet, check the packaging for signs of tampering. Inside the box, you’ll find:

Trèzōr device
USB cable
Recovery seed cards
Instruction booklet
Trèzōr stickers
Optional magnetic dock (Model T)

Make sure the security seal is intact before proceeding.

6. Initial Setup Instructions

Visit https://trezor.io/start
Select your device model
Connect the device to your computer using the USB cable
Download and install Trèzōr Suite
Follow the on-screen instructions to begin initialization

7. Creating a New Wallet

During setup:

You’ll be asked whether to create a new wallet or recover an existing one.
Select Create new.
Your device will generate a recovery seed — a list of 12 or 24 words that you must write down and keep safe.
Do not photograph or store this seed digitally.

8. Understanding Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is the only way to recover your wallet if your device is lost, damaged, or stolen. Anyone with this seed can access your funds, so treat it like the keys to your bank vault.

Always write the seed down using pen and paper.
Store it in a secure, private location.
Do not share it online or with anyone else.
Consider storing multiple copies in separate secure locations.

9. Setting a Secure PIN

After the seed setup:

Set a PIN code (4–9 digits) to lock your device.
Enter the PIN using your computer screen and device buttons (Model One) or touchscreen (Model T).
This protects your wallet from unauthorized physical access.

10. Connecting to Trèzōr Suite

14. Hidden Wallets and Passphrases

Trèzōr allows you to create hidden wallets by using a custom passphrase in addition to your recovery seed. This creates a parallel wallet that only opens when the exact passphrase is entered.

Useful for hiding funds under multiple layers
Even if someone gets your seed, they can't access hidden wallets without the passphrase
Use a unique, complex passphrase

If you lose or reset your device, you can recover your wallet by:

Reconnecting to Trèzōr Suite
Choosing “Recover Wallet”
Entering your 12/24-word recovery seed
Re-entering your passphrase (if used)

Never enter your seed anywhere except your Trèzōr device.
