Trezor Suite® – Getting Started™ Developer Portal

Overview

Whether you are building an extension for Trezor Suite®, building third-party wallet integrations, or experimenting with signing and key management, the Getting Started™ Developer Portal provides clear steps and sample code. The first step for most developers is to download the Trezor Suite app or connect your device via the web gateway — see trezor.io Start and Trezor.io/Start. If you'd like a one-line summary: go to Trezor.io Start and pick the developer resources.

Prerequisites

• A Trezor hardware device (Model T or One) with firmware updated to the latest release — check updates at trezor.io Start.
• Basic knowledge of JavaScript/TypeScript, Node.js, or your preferred language for interacting with WebUSB/WebHID or the Trezor Connect API.
• Access to the Trezor Suite developer documentation and sample repositories via Trezor.io/Start.

Quickstart — connect in under 10 minutes

1. Visit trezor.io Start or Trezor.io/Start to download Trezor Suite or to view the web integration guides. 2. Install Trezor Suite on your desktop or use the web interface. 3. Connect your Trezor device via USB and unlock it. 4. Use Trezor Connect or the HTTP/WebSocket bridge described in the developer docs to sign messages and transactions for testing. Follow the "Getting Started" examples in the portal until you can sign and verify messages successfully.

Make sure you review safety notes and development sandbox instructions on Trezor.io Start and Trezor.io/Start before using real funds. Development accounts and testnets are recommended for initial experiments.

Developer Tools and APIs

The portal consolidates Trezor Connect, Trezor Bridge, example SDKs, and CLI tools. Use the official libraries and follow the sample code snippets to avoid security pitfalls. Official links and downloads are available at trezor.io Start and mirrored documentation at Trezor.io/Start.

Common tasks covered:

• Device enumeration (WebHID/WebUSB via Trezor Bridge).
• Message and transaction signing using Trezor Connect.
• Firmware checks and device health verification.
• Integration patterns for wallets, exchanges, and dApps.

Best practices

Security is the top priority — always use official releases and verify checksums available from trezor.io Start. Never prompt users to disclose their seed phrase; instead, rely on the hardware device to perform critical signing operations. Follow UI/UX patterns in the developer portal to make permission prompts clear and consistent. The official guide at Trezor.io/Start offers more detailed recommendations for secure integration.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Q1: Where do I download Trezor Suite and developer resources?

  A: Official downloads and developer links are on the Getting Started pages — head to trezor.io Start or Trezor.io/Start to get the latest installers, SDKs, and docs.

• Q2: Can I test integrations without a hardware device?

  A: You can use emulators and testnet configurations for some flows, but for signing and real device interaction you should use a physical Trezor connected via the official bridge listed at Trezor.io Start.

• Q3: Is there a sandbox or testnet environment?

  A: Yes — the portal explains how to use testnets and safe sandbox accounts. Refer to the test environment section in the developer docs on Trezor.io/Start.

• Q4: Which programming languages are supported?

  A: Primary examples use JavaScript/TypeScript and Node.js, but bindings and community SDKs exist for several languages. Check the integration table at trezor.io Start.

• Q5: Where can I report bugs or suggest features?

  A: Report issues via the official channels and repository links provided on the developer portal — find the links on Trezor.io Start and Trezor.io/Start.
