Initializing Your Trezor

The Trezor Wallet will check your device’s firmware. If an update is available, follow the on-screen instructions to update your firmware. Keeping your firmware up to date is crucial for security and functionality.

Creating a New Wallet

Once your firmware is up to date, you will be prompted to create a new wallet. Click “Create new” and follow the instructions. Your Trezor device will generate a recovery seed – a crucial component for recovering your wallet if you lose access.

8. Write Down Your Recovery Seed

Your Trezor device will display a 24-word recovery seed. Write down each word in the exact order on the provided recovery seed card. Double-check for accuracy and store this card in a secure, offline location. Never share your recovery seed with anyone.

Securing Your Wallet

To add an extra layer of security, set a PIN for your Trezor device. Follow the instructions on your Trezor screen to choose and confirm a PIN. This PIN will be required each time you access your Trezor.

Managing Your Crypto

10. Adding Cryptocurrencies

With your Trezor Wallet set up, you can now add cryptocurrencies. The Trezor Wallet supports a wide range of coins and tokens. To add a specific cryptocurrency, click on “Add Account” and select the desired coin.
