Welcome — this developer-first landing page walks through the essentials: device connectivity, signing flows, SDKs, security checks, and deployment guidance. Use the links to jump to reference docs and sample repositories for quick prototyping.
Quick overview
Trezor devices provide hardware-backed private keys for secure transaction signing. This portal focuses on common developer workflows: discovery, derivation, signing, and verification. Explore the official docs and SDKs linked throughout this page.
- Device transport
WebUSB, Bridge, WebBluetooth. - SDKs
JavaScript, Python, community bindings. - Security
Firmware checks, tamper-evidence, signing policies. - Support
GitHub, forums, enterprise channels.
Getting started — 6 practical steps
- Read the developer docs at Documentation.
- Install Trezor Bridge or use WebUSB: Bridge.
- Clone the SDK and run examples from GitHub.
- Verify firmware and device authenticity on the Firmware page.
- Implement signing UIs and mirror prompts for user verification.
- Join the community via the Support center.
Following these steps should let you connect a prototype to a real device and perform public-key operations within an hour for basic flows.
Integration surfaces
Three surfaces matter most for most apps: device transport, API/SDK calls, and UX / verification. Below are implementation tips and sample snippets to reduce integration friction.
Transport
Prefer WebUSB for modern browser-native flows and Bridge for older browsers or broader OS compatibility. Handle permission errors and disconnections and provide clear retry UX. For mobile, review the mobile integration notes in the docs.
Signing model
Use canonical transaction serialization and present a canonical, text-first summary in your UI that matches the device prompt. Never assume the device will display full context — mirror values for user confirmation.
Minimal JavaScript example
The snippet below shows how to initialize Trezor Connect and request a public key. Replace the manifest with your app contact and URL before production use.
import TrezorConnect from 'trezor-connect';
TrezorConnect.init({
manifest: { email: 'dev@yourapp.com', appUrl: 'https://your.app' }
});
TrezorConnect.getPublicKey({ path: "m/44'/0'/0'/0/0" })
.then(response => console.log('pubkey', response))
.catch(err => console.error(err));
For the complete API reference, check the docs and the trezor-connect repository on GitHub.
Security best practices
- Always validate device firmware and verify signatures during onboarding. See Firmware.
- Do not log sensitive data. Mask or redact any private key material and seed words in logs.
- Provide clear user-facing verification steps and mirror what the device will show.
- Keep SDK and dependency versions pinned and follow the project's changelog.
UX & accessibility
Design transaction screens with a text-first layout (amounts, addresses, fees). Ensure keyboard navigation and ARIA labels for screen readers — many wallet users depend on assistive tech. Offer fallback copy-and-paste flows for offline verification when device screens are limited.
Release and maintenance
Use CI to run linting, tests, and static security scans. Publish changelogs and migration guides when changing derivation paths or supported networks. Coordinate major changes with the community via the blog and GitHub to minimize disruption to end users.
