Trezor.io/Start® is the official setup portal for Trezor hardware wallets, designed to help users safely initialize and manage their crypto devices. It ensures that users avoid unofficial software, which is one of the most common causes of cryptocurrency theft.
Why Hardware Wallet Setup Is Important
Improper wallet setup can expose private keys to malware and phishing attacks. Trezor.io/Start® eliminates this risk by guiding users through a verified process where all sensitive data remains offline. This approach significantly enhances security compared to browser-based or mobile wallets.
