Getting Started with the Trezor Suite ® Developer Portal
The Trezor Suite Developer Portal is your single destination for everything you need to integrate with Trezor Suite ®. The Getting Started™ experience is designed for developers of all levels: whether you are building a simple wallet connector, a custodial backend, or an advanced dApp that leverages hardware-secured signing. This Getting Started guide focuses on practical steps that speed up development and reduce integration risk while staying aligned with Trezor’s security model.
Why integrate with Trezor Suite?
Trezor Suite offers secure private key custody with clear UX and broad coin support. By integrating with the Trezor Suite Developer Portal, you gain access to secure signing flows, wallet discovery, device health checks, and standardized transaction structures. This makes Trezor Suite integration ideal for apps that prioritize security, user trust, and cross-chain compatibility.
Core steps — quick overview
- Read the Getting Started™ guide: Follow the step-by-step onboarding in the portal.
- Register: Create a developer account and request API keys if needed for sandbox access.
- Install SDK: Use official SDK packages (npm, pip, crates.io) to avoid low-level plumbing.
- Test with emulator: Use the Trezor emulator or a test device for offline signing trials.
- Audit & secure: Follow the security checklist and run device attestation for production release.
Best practices for developers
Use hardware signing where possible. Keep private keys off hosts and rely on Trezor Suite ® signing flows. Validate and sanitize transaction payloads, implement replay protection and versioning, and enable user prompts for every sensitive operation. Maintain clear logs on the server, but never log private keys or full signed payloads.
APIs, SDKs and example code
The Developer Portal hosts thoroughly documented APIs for connecting to Trezor Suite ® devices. There are language-specific SDKs to accelerate integration—each SDK contains examples that implement common flows such as device pairing, account discovery, and transaction signing.
Example snippet — connect and sign (JavaScript)
// Minimal example (pseudo)
import Trezor from 'trezor-sdk';
async function signTx(tx) {
const device = await Trezor.connect();
await device.open();
const signed = await device.signTransaction(tx);
return signed;
}Use the SDK’s test harness and the provided emulator to validate your flows. The Trezor Suite Developer Portal also includes CLI tools for batch signing and integration testing.
Security & compliance
Security is foundational in the Trezor Suite Developer Portal. Follow layers: hardware attestation, user confirmation, deterministic backup phrasing, and transport-level encryption. Always require device confirmation for high-value transactions. The portal lists recommended third-party audits and compliance checklists to make your release process faster and safer.
Performance & indexability tips (for Bing)
To help search engines index this Developer Portal page quickly: use clean semantic HTML, include JSON-LD for key entities, expose an XML sitemap from your site root, add the page to your robots.txt, and submit the canonical URL in Bing Webmaster Tools. Also ensure fast response times, mobile-friendly design, and descriptive meta tags. These actions make it easier for Bing to discover and index the Trezor Suite Developer Portal content.
Note: indexing speed is controlled by search engines; following best practices improves discoverability but cannot guarantee instant indexing.Developer resources
