Project Overview
Project Goal
Proposal for native TRON support to Trezor hardware wallets and Trezor Suite, creating a seamless and secure self-custody experience for millions of users worldwide. As the originator of cold storage and the most widely used hardware wallet globally, Trezor continues to set the standard for privacy and security in digital asset management.
This would include firmware-level signing, full wallet UX, staking/delegation, and TRON ecosystem access.
Unique Value Proposition
Trezor is the world’s first and most trusted hardware wallet brand, used by millions worldwide.
By embedding TRON at the firmware and software levels, the partnership will:
-
Extend TRON’s ecosystem into the global self-custody market.
-
Provide secure access to on-chain activity (staking, trading, token management).
-
Strengthen TRON’s image as a privacy-first, security-conscious blockchain.
-
Establish long-term interoperability via Trezor Connect for dApp developers.
Project Demo
Demo access will be provided at
https://suite.trezor.io (TRON testnet build, post-integration).
Expected Completion Date: Q3 2026
Current Progress: 10 %
Discovery and scoping completed; technical specification for firmware and Connect layer in progress.
Technical & Governance Details

Smart Contract Links:
To be deployed on TRON testnet during Milestone 4.
Governance Model
Hybrid — technical development and delivery managed by SatoshiLabs (Trezor), with TRON DAO providing milestone oversight and community feedback loops.
Funding & Business Model
We estimate the cost of resources up to $1.28M USD to complete the full firmware and software integration. The final funding structure can be refined with TRON DAO to balance technical scope and shared objectives based on the resource requirements for completion. The marketing efforts will be co-funded, leveraging both ecosystems’ established visibility to maximize impact for this project.
Funding Contribution: $1,278,000 USD (subject to scope alignment)
| Workstream | Description | Budget (USD) |
|---|---|---|
| Firmware Integration | Native TRON protocol support, signing, transaction logic, testing, and audit | 435,000 |
| Software Integration & Connect Layer Support | UI/UX, frontend, backend dev, PM oversight, documentation + infrastructure | 843,000 |
| Total | 1,278,000 |
Revenue Model
-
Increased hardware wallet sales through TRON ecosystem activation.
-
Transaction-linked affiliate commissions (staking, swaps, on/off-ramps).
-
Developer integrations using Trezor Connect SDK for TRON-based dApps.
-
Long-term support fees and ecosystem co-marketing.
Interested in TRON Having a Stake?
No, the partnership is proposed as a collaborative contribution model, focused on technical delivery rather than equity participation.
Preferred Collaboration Method
Joint working group between Trezor BD/Product teams and TRON DAO for technical milestone reviews, QA validation, and co-marketing coordination.
Ecosystem Impact
Partnerships
-
Active integrations: Bitcoin, Ethereum, Binance Smart Chain, Polygon, Solana…
-
Ongoing Software wallet collaborations with Metamask, Exodus, Rabby…
-
TRON will be added as a core supported chain with secure hardware interaction.
-
Future SDK support for TRON dApps via Trezor Connect API.
Time on TRON
Target for TRON testnet Q2 2026 → mainnet release anticipated in Q3 2026 (subject to joint roadmap alignment)
Project Milestones
