Trezor Suite® – Getting Started™ Developer Portal

Your developer primer for integrating with Trezor Suite: where to start, which tools to use, and a minimal code example to get you up and running.

Introduction: why Trezor Suite for developers?

Trezor Suite is the flagship desktop and web wallet for Trezor hardware devices, designed for users and for developers who want secure, auditable integrations. Whether you’re building a wallet integration, a merchant checkout, or an experimental dApp that needs secure signing, Suite and its ecosystem of tools provide well-documented entry points and open-source resources to get started quickly. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Getting started: a minimal integration checklist

Before you start coding, run through this checklist:

1. Read the Suite docs and repo README

The docs explain architecture, packaging, and developer conventions. The monorepo README lists the packages (Connect, Suite, Suite Mobile) and developer setup steps. Have both pages open while you work. :contentReference[oaicite:11]{index=11}

2. Decide your integration path

If you are building a web app that needs to sign or fetch public keys, Trezor Connect is typically the right choice. If you want to modify Suite itself or contribute features, clone the Suite monorepo and follow local dev instructions. :contentReference[oaicite:12]{index=12}

3. Secure development practices

Always download Suite from the official sources and verify signatures during production deployments. Use the official docs’ verification steps to avoid supply-chain risks. :contentReference[oaicite:13]{index=13}

Minimal HTML + JS example: Trezor Connect

Below is a short, minimal example that demonstrates how to prompt a Trezor-connected user to get a public key using Trezor Connect. (This is a getting-started snippet — adapt to your app’s build toolchain.) 

<!doctype html>
<html>
<head>
  <meta charset="utf-8">
  <title>Trezor Connect Minimal Example</title>
</head>
<body>
  <h3>Trezor Connect – Minimal Example</h3>
  <button id="btn">Get Public Key</button>
  <pre id="out"></pre>

  <script src="https://connect.trezor.io/9/"></script>  <!-- use official Connect bundle -->
  <script>
    document.getElementById('btn').addEventListener('click', async () => {
      // call Trezor Connect API (adapt path for your app)
      const result = await TrezorConnect.getPublicKey({
        path: "m/44'/0'/0'/0/0",
        coin: 'BTC'
      });

      document.getElementById('out').textContent = JSON.stringify(result, null, 2);
    });
  </script>
</body>
</html>

Notes: include the official Connect bundle or package via NPM and follow the Connect docs for more advanced usage (popups, iframe integrations, and custom transports). :contentReference[oaicite:14]{index=14}

Deep-dive topics & next steps

Suite architecture

Suite is shipped as desktop and web builds. For contributors, the monorepo contains subpackages for Connect and Suite UI packages; read the package READMEs for tooling and linting rules. :contentReference[oaicite:15]{index=15}

Testing & release workflow

Follow the GitHub releases and rely on signed assets for production installs. Subscribe to release announcements if you’re depending on specific Suite features or new device support. :contentReference[oaicite:16]{index=16}

Security & responsible disclosure

If you discover a vulnerability during development, use Trezor’s bug bounty / disclosure channels rather than publicly exposing details. Responsible disclosure keeps the ecosystem safer for all users. :contentReference[oaicite:17]{index=17}

Troubleshooting quick wins

Device not connecting?

Try the following in order: verify cable and USB port, try the Suite desktop app (if browser has permission issues), confirm the device firmware is up-to-date, and check the Connect console for errors. If needed, consult the official troubleshooting guides. :contentReference[oaicite:18]{index=18}

Build errors when compiling Suite?

Ensure you have the repository’s recommended Node.js version, install dependencies fresh, and follow the monorepo README steps. Opening an issue on the GitHub repo with details (build logs, OS, node/npm versions) is the fastest path to help. :contentReference[oaicite:19]{index=19}

Conclusion

Trezor Suite and its ecosystem provide a solid, open foundation for building secure crypto experiences. Start small (Trezor Connect), verify your downloads, and progressively explore the Suite monorepo if you need deeper customization. Bookmark the ten official links above and keep the docs handy — they’ll save you time and protect your users.
