It can be hard knowing where to start if you’re a beginner in the bitcoin space. The good news is that there are plenty of resources for you to start doing your own research. The bad news is that there is a LOT of information to comb through, and not all of it is trustworthy or up to date.

As a community driven, open-source project, we know that we owe a lot to our fantastic supporters, and one of our goals is to grow and educate the community in a simple and efficient way. That’s one of the reasons we created Trezor Wiki. It’s a growing database of information meant to keep you informed and up to date on topics like technology, security, and of course: everything Trezor.

Well, combing through our Wiki articles can be intimidating too, so in this blog post we’ve curated some articles that we think are most relevant to you…

if you…

…are waiting for your Trezor to arrive

Congrats on your new Trezor! Your package will arrive very soon after it ships; in the meantime, why not sit back, relax, and read a few Trezor Wiki articles so that you’ll be ready to get right down to business the minute your device arrives.

The first article you need to read is all about setting up your new device. You’ll learn about Trezor Bridge, connecting your device to Trezor Wallet, and more!

Of course, you won’t get far into the world of crypto and bitcoin without hearing about hacks, scams, and other security breaches. Luckily, you can take the first step in protecting yourself from danger by staying informed about the best security practices that will keep your future wallet safe and sound.

Do you have a favorite third-party app that you want to keep using after you get your Trezor? A constantly growing list of third-party apps and integrations is here for you to discover. Something for everyone!

…want to update your Trezor for the first time

You can familiarize yourself with the update process before you have to update your device for the first time. In reading that Wiki article, you might notice that it’s possible for a firmware update to wipe your device during the process. This isn’t a big deal, you can recover your device immediately after updating it, as long as you have your recovery seed on hand.

We also recommend doing something called a dry-run recovery, ideally before you ever need to recover your device. This takes some of the stress away from updating or recovering your device, because you have the chance to do a test drive of your recovery seed, so to speak, and make sure that you wrote it down correctly when you backed up your device during setup.

…want to buy your first crypto

Of course you can use your Trezor device for other things besides hodling, but if you’re ready to jump in and buy your first few coins, you might be interested in the Wiki articles in this section.

Step one is finding out if the crypto you want to buy is supported by your device. With over 1,000 cryptocurrencies currently supported, and many more on the way, chances are you can find what you’re looking for and make sure you bring Trezor level security to your buying experience.

For the safest buying experience, you can use one of Trezor Wallet’s in-wallet exchanges. Your private keys will never leave your device, and your coins will be stored in the offline environment of your Trezor, instead of the public, online environment of an exchange.

Ready? Set…Go!

…want better security solutions

Whether you’re looking for stronger security for your threat model to protect your digital wealth, or better security solutions to protect your private data online, you can find the answers on Trezor Wiki.

Learn about using your Trezor device as a U2F token to securely log in to popular online services — you have to manually confirm each login on the Trusted Display of your Model T, effectively preventing hacks like keylogging.

Do you want to secure your data online with the safest method of generating and storing complex passwords? You can use Trezor Password Manager to make sure your login credentials are never compromised.

Our Wiki can sometimes turn into a delightful rabbit hole, where you start reading an article about unboxing your new Trezor, and half an hour later you’ve clicked through seventeen different articles and are now reading about elliptic-curve cryptography. Hopefully this article will help you find the information you’re looking for — but feel free to dive into the rabbit hole too.
