Trézor® devices are designed to provide unmatched security, ease-of-use, and compatibility with a wide range of digital assets. This guide will walk you through the complete process, ensuring you can safely manage your crypto assets while keeping your private keys offline and protected.
First, unbox your Trézor® device and ensure it is genuine. Visit our developer portal to verify your device authenticity and firmware updates.
