Step 3: Create a New Wallet

In Trezor Suite, select "Create New Wallet". The device generates private keys internally, never exposing them online. After creation, your device will display a recovery seed, essential for wallet backup and restoration if the device is lost or damaged.

Step 4: Record Your Recovery Seed

Your recovery seed is the master key to restoring your wallet. Write down each word exactly as displayed on the device, in order. Do not store it digitally or online. Keep it offline in a secure location. Optionally, create a secondary backup in another safe place for extra protection.

Step 6: Add Cryptocurrency Accounts

After setup, you can add accounts for supported cryptocurrencies. Each account displays balances, receive addresses, and transaction history. All transactions must be confirmed both on the device and in Trezor Suite, providing dual-layer security.

Step 7: Explore Advanced Features
