Getting Started™ with the Trezor Suite Developer Portal
The Getting Started™ path on the Trezor Suite Developer Portal is intentionally linear: understand the security model, install the SDK or CLI, connect a device or emulator, and run end-to-end examples. The Developer Portal contains step-by-step walkthroughs for onboarding, device pairing, account discovery, transaction signing, and device attestation. Follow the Getting Started™ guide to reduce integration risk and accelerate delivery.
Quick start checklist
- Read the Getting Started™ guide on the Developer Portal to learn the security model and supported transports.
- Create a developer account and register your app to obtain sandbox credentials if needed.
- Install SDKs for your target language from the Developer Portal downloads section.
- Run the emulator or use a test device to prototype device discovery and signing flows.
- Follow security checks in the portal — device attestation, firmware validation, and user confirmation flows.
These steps are designed to make your first integration with Trezor Suite ® fast, secure, and predictable. The Developer Portal ties all these elements together, providing code snippets, API reference, and troubleshooting tips for real-world integrations.
APIs — Connect to Trezor Suite ®
The Trezor Suite Developer Portal exposes multiple APIs to connect wallets and backends to Trezor Suite ®. These APIs include transport layers (WebUSB, WebHID, native RPC), signing endpoints, and helpers for account discovery. The Developer Portal API section documents request/response formats, error codes, and security considerations such as nonce handling, replay protection, and transaction validation.
Example — request a transaction signature (pseudo)
// Pseudo-code (JS style)
import TrezorSDK from 'trezor-sdk';
const client = new TrezorSDK({ transport: 'webusb' });
await client.connect();
const tx = buildTransaction(...);
const signed = await client.signTransaction(tx);
console.log('Signed:', signed);Use the sample code in the Developer Portal to test signing flows locally. The SDKs wrap low-level transports and make it easy to adopt secure signing patterns.
SDKs & Tools
The Developer Portal provides SDKs for multiple languages with consistent APIs and examples. Each SDK package includes integration tests, CLI tools for batch signing, and a simulator that mirrors the behavior of a physical Trezor device — ideal for CI pipelines and automated testing. Use language-specific guides on the portal to follow best practices when integrating with Trezor Suite ® Getting Started™ flows.
Language support
- JavaScript / TypeScript — web plugins, Node.js backends, and sample dApps.
- Python — scripts, server-side signing, and automation.
- Go & Rust — native integrations and high-performance backends.
Security Best Practices
Security is the foremost design goal of the Trezor Suite Developer Portal. The portal emphasizes patterns such as hardware-backed signing, explicit on-device confirmation, deterministic backup recovery, and attestation checks. When you integrate with Trezor Suite ®, ensure private keys remain isolated on the device, validate transaction payloads server-side, and never log or export sensitive data. The Developer Portal security section contains checklists for production readiness and compliance guidance for enterprise releases.
Operational checklist
- Enforce device attestation before trusting signatures.
- Use transport encryption and rotate API credentials regularly.
- Store audit logs but never persist private keys or full signed payloads.
- Limit signing policies and require multi-step approvals for high-value transactions.
Testing & Release
Before going live, test the complete integration in the sandbox provided by the Developer Portal. Use the emulator for automated tests and run manual device verification for final checks. The portal recommends end-to-end tests including firmware update flows, user interaction timing, and account discovery across supported coins. Use the provided checklist to verify compliance and operational readiness before production deployment.
Release tips
- Document expected UX and failure modes for users (timeouts, device disconnects).
- Provide clear error messages and remediation steps for device issues.
- Monitor logs and telemetry to detect unusual signing patterns or errors.
