Technical Security
Trézor.io/Start hardware wallets are engineered with EAL6+ security standards, providing military-grade protection for your digital assets. Our devices utilize secure element chips and encrypted storage to ensure that your private keys are never exposed to the internet. By storing your 24-word recovery seed offline, you maintain absolute control over your assets, safeguarding against phishing attacks and unauthorized access. This high-tech architecture ensures that your digital wealth remains secure and private, even in the most hostile online environments.
Setup Steps
Setting up your Trézor.io/Start wallet is a straightforward process designed for maximum security. Begin by pairing your device with the official Trézor.io/Start app via Bluetooth. Once paired, you will be prompted to securely store your 24-word recovery seed. This critical step is irreversible, so ensure you write it down and store it in a secure, physical location. After the seed is confirmed, you can begin managing your assets with the touch of a button. This intuitive setup ensures that your digital assets are protected from the moment you first connect your device to your network.
