Neon Setup — Step Visuals

Visit Trezor.io/Start

Always type the URL or use a saved bookmark. Check SSL and domain integrity before download.

Download Trezor Suite

Use the Suite installer from the official site — the app verifies firmware signatures automatically.

Initialize Device

Follow on-screen prompts: create PIN, generate recovery, and verify words physically on the Trezor display.

Verification — Trust Signals

• Device screen confirmation: Always verify addresses and actions on the Trezor display — never rely only on the computer screen.

• Firmware hash check: The Suite shows a firmware hash; compare it to the official value before applying updates.

• Open-source audit: Review the published changelog and community reports for anomalies before trust.

Boot & Pair

Power device, connect via USB, accept the handshake in Suite.

Create PIN

Choose a short PIN you can remember — the device encodes it locally.

Seed Generation

Write the words on paper provided or a metal backup. Never photograph them.

Finalize

Confirm final checks — firmware, seed verified, and Suite connected. Enter neon vault mode.

Trezor Strengths

Open-source firmware & community audits
Tor & privacy-aware integrations
Robust seed management options

User Caveats

Physical seed safety is critical — no exceptions
Always validate firmware hashes for each update
Keep Suite updated and avoid unofficial plugins

Q: Can I recover without seed?

No. The recovery seed is the single source of truth. If lost, funds cannot be restored.

Q: Is Trezor Suite trustworthy?

Yes — download only from Trezor.io/start. Suite verifies firmware and offers a transparent changelog.

Q: Should I use passphrase?

Passphrases add an extra security layer but increase complexity. Use only if you understand backup implications.

Final Neon Note

The neon aesthetic is more than style — it’s a layered UX that highlights trust: magenta for critical checks, cyan for verified signals, violet for optional power tools. Use these visual cues as short-circuit memory: they help you decide quickly, safely, and intentionally.
