Start building with Trezor Suite — fast, secure, and documented
This Getting Started Developer Portal explains how to integrate with Trezor Suite, interact with the Trezor API and SDK, and build secure hardware wallet flows for desktop and web apps. The content is optimized for discoverability: Trezor Suite, Getting Started, Developer Portal, Trezor API, hardware wallet integration.
Quickstart — 3 steps to a working integration
- Install the Trezor Bridge or use WebUSB for direct device connection. Ensure device firmware and Suite versions are current.
- Authenticate with the Trezor signing flow. Use the SDK to request public keys and sign transactions with user confirmation.
- Integrate responses into your application: verify signatures, handle errors, and present clear UI prompts to users.
Core concepts
Trezor Suite stores secrets in the device. Your app should only request public keys and sign operations—never store raw seeds.
Use BIP32/BIP39 standards and deterministic derivation paths to keep integrations predictable and auditable.
Always handle user cancellations, hardware disconnects, firmware updates and user-rejected operations gracefully.
Respect user privacy: collect minimal telemetry, provide opt-out and never transmit sensitive key material.
Sample code (web)
const device = await TrezorConnect.getPublicKey({path:"m/44'/0'/0'/0/0"});
if(device.success){
// use device.payload.publicKey
}
This sample shows the recommended minimal flow: request public key, request signatures with confirmation, and verify signed transactions in-app.
Best practices for production
- Pin firmware verification in your CI pipeline.
- Provide clear upgrade paths for users when Suite or firmware updates are required.
- Use staged rollouts and feature flags for sensitive signing flows.
- Document error codes and map them to UX messages.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What do I need to start using the Trezor API?
Install Trezor Bridge for desktop integrations or enable WebUSB in your browser, include the official SDK, and follow the Getting Started quickstart above.
2. Is the Trezor Suite Developer Portal free to use?
Yes — developer documentation and SDKs are typically available under permissive conditions; check the license for any redistribution rules.
3. How do I test signing flows safely?
Use testnets and disposable accounts. Ensure you never expose real seed phrases while testing. Use hardware device in demo mode or with low-value accounts.
4. Can I run the Developer Portal content locally?
Yes — clone or download the portal assets and host them on a secure server or locally during development for faster iteration.
5. Where do I report issues or request new features?
Open issues on the official SDK repository or contact the Developer Relations team via the official support channels listed in the portal footer.
