Technical FAQ

What is Trezor.io/start?

Trezor.io/start is the secure initialization protocol for Trezor hardware wallets. It ensures your device is properly calibrated and ready to receive your private keys without exposing them to the internet.

How does the process work?

The process involves a physical verification step where you confirm the device's serial number and cryptographic signature. This creates a unique, hardware-locked identity for your wallet, ensuring long-term security.

Is my data encrypted?

Yes, your private keys are encrypted using a 256-bit AES-256 standard. Only the unique hardware entropy of your Trezor device can decrypt them, providing a level of security that is currently unbreakable by brute force.

What if I lose my device?

If your device is lost or damaged, you can recover your funds using your 24-word recovery phrase. This phrase is generated during the setup process and must be stored in a secure, offline location to prevent permanent loss.

How do I verify my setup?

After initialization, you will see a confirmation screen on your Trezor device. This screen displays your wallet's address and a unique QR code. Scanning this code on your mobile app verifies that your setup is correct.
