Essentials

  • APIs
    WebUSB, Bridge, and JSON-RPC endpoints for integrations.
  • SDKs
    JavaScript, Python wrappers and example apps.
  • Security
    Best practices, threat modeling and signing checks.
  • Support
    Community, enterprise support channels and contact options.

Getting started in 5 steps

  1. Read the integration overview in Documentation.
  2. Install the Trezor Bridge or use WebUSB: Bridge.
  3. Clone the SDK and run local examples: GitHub.
  4. Follow security checklist and firmware verification: Firmware.
  5. Join the developer community and support channels: Support.

These steps get you from prototype to production in a matter of days for many common wallet flows—account discovery, transaction signing, and multi-account management.

Integration points

Trezor Suite exposes several integration surfaces to accommodate native apps, browser extensions, and server-assisted flows. Typical integration points are device communication, message signing, and transaction serialization.

Device communication

Use WebUSB for browser-native flows, or the Trezor Bridge for broader compatibility. Ensure you handle device permissions and timeouts gracefully. Read the security notes in the official docs before attempting production integration.

Message signing

Signature flows follow deterministic formats; always confirm the signing details on-device. Validate the addresses and amounts in your UI, and mirror device prompts so users can verify before confirming on the Trezor device.

For more technical details, check Technical Docs and the Developer Repositories.

Sample code (JS)

Below is a minimal example that demonstrates connecting to a Trezor device and requesting public key information.

import TrezorConnect from 'trezor-connect';

TrezorConnect.init({
  manifest: {email: 'dev@example.com', appUrl: 'https://your.app'}
});

TrezorConnect.getPublicKey({path: "m/44'/0'/0'/0/0"})
  .then(response => console.log(response))
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

Best practices

Security is central. The following list describes recommended practices when integrating Trezor Suite:

  • Always verify device firmware checksums before trusting signatures. Firmware page
  • Mirror transaction details in your UI and ask users to verify values on device.
  • Use BIP32/BIP44 paths consistently and support common derivation schemes.
  • Limit exposure of sensitive logs and never log full private keys or raw seed material.
  • Follow the upgrade and deprecation schedule listed in the docs and changelog.

Designing the UX

Users interact with their Trezor device for confirmations. Keep flows simple: display the exact transaction summary your app will send and provide clear fallback/error messaging. If the device is disconnected, provide steps to reconnect and recover gracefully.

Accessibility

Ensure your interface is navigable with keyboard only and supports screen readers—many users with assistive tech rely on clear, text-first transaction descriptions.

Release & deployment

When releasing integrations, ensure your CI runs linting, builds, and security scans. Keep dependency versions pinned and maintain changelogs so customers can track compatibility with Trezor firmware and Suite releases.

Provide clear migration guides when you change derivation schemes or supported networks. Link to official channels for breaking changes: Trezor Blog.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What SDKs are available?

Trezor maintains JavaScript and Python libraries; community SDKs exist for other languages. Official repos live on GitHub.

2. How do I verify device firmware?

Firmware verification steps are documented on the firmware page. Always verify checksums and release signatures before trusting a device.

3. Can I use Trezor with mobile apps?

Yes. Use WebBluetooth or Bridge-compatible approaches and follow the mobile integration notes in the docs.

4. How should I handle errors?

Gracefully surface device errors, provide clear reconnect instructions, and avoid exposing cryptographic internals to users.

5. Where do I report security issues?

Report security issues through the official Trezor security contact channels listed on the security page.
