Trezor.io/Start® — Get Started with the Official Trezor Suite App

Why choose Trezor Suite for Wallet Onboarding?

Trezor Suite is the official desktop and web companion that makes crypto management simple, transparent and secure. Whether you are completing wallet onboarding for the Model One or the feature-rich Model T, Trezor Suite helps you set up device protection, create a reliable backup, and interact with applications via Trezor Connect or Trezor Bridge. The Suite's open-source design and clear UX make it a preferred choice for beginners and advanced users alike.

The Suite integrates with WebUSB when supported, falling back to Trezor Bridge where needed, ensuring cross-platform compatibility. Trezor Suite supports advanced wallet features like Trezor Safe 3 and Trezor Safe 5 configurations, giving power users secure multi-account and multi-signature workflows while keeping onboarding approachable for first-timers.

Download & Connect — Trezor Suite, Trezor Connect and Trezor Bridge

Getting started is fast: visit Trezor.io/start to download the Trezor Suite app. When you plug in your device, the app will use WebUSB directly in supported browsers or route connection traffic through Trezor Bridge. For web integrations and third-party applications, Trezor Connect provides a secure API layer that authorizes actions between your device and the app with explicit user approval.

• Trezor Suite: Desktop and web wallet for full device management and transactions.
• Trezor Connect: Secure bridge for browser integrations and DApps.
• Trezor Bridge: Local communication layer when WebUSB is not available.
• WebUSB: Native browser connection where supported for instant access.

The combination of Trezor Suite, Trezor Connect and Trezor Bridge delivers a reliable and secure experience for wallet onboarding, signing transactions, and performing backups.

Device Options: Model One vs Model T

Trezor devices come in two mainstream models: Model One and Model T. Both benefit from the same Trezor Suite features, including wallet onboarding, device protection, and open-source design. Choose Model One for a compact, battle-tested entry-level hardware wallet or Model T if you want a color touchscreen, expanded coin support, and advanced usability features.

Regardless of the model, the onboarding process in Trezor Suite walks you step-by-step: initialize device, write and verify a Backup (seed phrase), set up a PIN for device protection, and configure advanced options like Trezor Safe 3 or Trezor Safe 5 for grouping or policy-driven access.

Security First: Open-source Design, Device Protection and Backup

Security is central to Trezor. The open-source design means that the code, schematics, and cryptography can be audited by anyone. Transparent development reduces hidden risks and creates a community-vetted security posture. During wallet onboarding you’ll enable device protection by setting a PIN and creating a secure Backup of your recovery seed. This backup ensures you can recover funds even if the device is lost or damaged.

Device protection features integrated into Trezor Suite include PIN protection, passphrase support, and anti-tamper indicators. The Suite encourages users to store backups offline and treat their seed phrase with the same security as a physical safe.

Advanced Configurations: Trezor Safe 3 & Trezor Safe 5

Trezor Safe 3 and Trezor Safe 5 are examples of wallet organization strategies supported in Trezor Suite. These workflows can represent different security or operational policies — for example:

• Trezor Safe 3: Optimized for everyday use and quick access wallets with medium security and usability.
• Trezor Safe 5: Designed for high-security multi-key setups, larger institutions, or long-term cold storage strategies.

While not every user needs Trezor Safe 3 or Trezor Safe 5 at onboarding, the Suite supports these templates and custom policies so you can upgrade your security posture as your holdings and needs grow.

Wallet Onboarding Step-by-Step (Simple & Secure)

Wallet onboarding with Trezor Suite is intentionally clear:

1. Download Trezor Suite from Trezor.io/start.
2. Connect your Model One or Model T using WebUSB or Trezor Bridge.
3. Choose to create a new wallet or restore from an existing Backup.
4. Set a PIN and (optionally) a passphrase for device protection.
5. Write down your recovery seed and verify it offline.
6. Explore transaction signing with Trezor Connect or manage accounts directly in Trezor Suite.

This flow balances ease-of-use with rigorous security. Wallet onboarding focuses on educating users to back up their seed securely and to keep device protection settings enabled at all times.

Compatibility & Integration

Trezor Suite works across major desktop platforms and modern browsers. When browser-based integration is preferred, Trezor Connect enables decentralized apps to request signatures securely, while Trezor Bridge ensures compatibility where native WebUSB is restricted. The Suite’s open-source design means developers can audit integrations and build reliable workflows on top of Trezor hardware.
