Trezor Suite® – Getting Started™ Developer Portal

Getting Started — Quick overview

Welcome to the Trezor Suite® Developer Portal. This page is your one-stop Getting Started guide for building secure integrations with the Trezor Suite, leveraging the Trezor API, SDKs, and recommended security best practices. Whether you are building a desktop wallet extension, a hardware-backed service, or an enterprise integration, the Trezor Suite developer portal gives you step-by-step onboarding, clear SDK patterns, and production-ready examples.

Why integrate with Trezor Suite?

Trezor Suite delivers ironclad private-key isolation for secure crypto operations using hardware wallets. Integrating with the Trezor Suite developer portal and SDKs enables your application to sign transactions offline, verify device authenticity, and maintain a user-first UX for private key ownership. The result: robust custody models, lower liability, and higher trust for your users.

Core components

• Trezor Suite SDK — client libraries and helpers for common languages.
• Trezor API — JSON-RPC and WebUSB endpoints to communicate with devices.
• Integration examples — sample apps, React components, and Node.js scripts.
• Security best practices — threat models, secure key handling, and compliance tips.

Quick start (3 steps)

1. Install SDK — `npm install @trezor/suite-sdk` or use our browser bundle.
2. Connect Device — use WebUSB/WebHID with device permission prompts for strong UX.
3. Sign & Verify — call the Trezor API to request user consent for signing operations.

// Minimal Node.js example (pseudo)
import { TrezorClient } from '@trezor/suite-sdk';
const client = new TrezorClient();
await client.connect();
const address = await client.getAddress({ path: "m/44'/0'/0'/0/0" });
console.log('Address', address);

Best practices & security

Follow these security best practices recommended in the Trezor Suite developer portal:

• Never export private keys: Use the device to sign—private keys never leave the hardware wallet.
• Use origin checks: Validate the origin of requests when using browser-based integrations.
• Minimal permissions: Request the least privileges required for the operation.
• Audit and logging: Keep tamper-evident logs of critical operations and user consents.

Integration patterns

The portal describes multiple integration patterns — direct device integration (WebUSB / WebHID), server-assisted session management, and hybrid flows for mobile, desktop, and web. Pick the pattern that fits your threat model and product needs.

Search-engine-friendly tips

To help your product discoverability on Bing and other search engines, keep these tips in mind while using Trezor Suite developer portal copy:

• Use semantic headings (H1, H2) and friendly URLs.
• Provide API examples and code snippets that are crawlable.
• Use descriptive meta title and description (this page already includes them).
• Include real-world integration case studies & FAQs to increase dwell time.

Developer Resources

Explore the SDKs, API references, sample projects, and downloadable CLI tools in the developer portal. Everything is versioned and backward-compatible where possible. Download signed SDK bundles, check checksums, and follow release notes for breaking changes.

Sample projects

The portal contains these sample repos: trezor-web-demo, trezor-node-utils, and trezor-desktop-integration. Use these templates to accelerate time-to-market and follow the exact integration patterns shown in the docs.
