Start Using Trezor Suite
Welcome to Trezor Suite! This guide will walk you through setting up your hardware wallet, securing your recovery phrase, and starting to manage your digital assets safely.
Setup Steps
1. Install Trezor Suite
Download the official Trezor Suite app from the manufacturer's website. This app lets you configure your wallet, manage accounts, and update firmware. Always use the official source to avoid security risks.
💡 Pro Tips:
