WalletConnect is now available for Trezor users: Bringing hardware wallet security to thousands of onchain apps

Tired of choosing between self-custody and onchain access? Now you don’t have to.

Trezor, the makers of the original hardware wallet, now integrates with WalletConnect, powering Trezor users access to the onchain world without sacrificing the fundamentals: security, privacy, and self-custody.

With this integration, Trezor users can connect to thousands of apps across any major blockchain directly from their hardware wallet. No app switching. No third-party extensions. Just a direct line between your hardware wallet and the tools you trust.

Why this matters: A safer way to go onchain

Trezor has always stood for open-source, user-first crypto security. But for many users, staying safe meant staying disconnected, from DeFi, from swaps, from social platforms, and from the next wave of innovation.

The integration with WalletConnect changes that. Now, users can explore and interact with any supported app, all while keeping their private keys offline and fully protected.

This is onchain access without compromise.

Users can sign in, connect, and transact with confidence, knowing their hardware wallet is still in control.

Built on WalletConnect

At the core of this experience is WalletConnect, a decentralized, end-to-end encrypted infrastructure powering billions of connections between wallets and apps.

WalletConnect supports more than 70,000 dapps and 700 wallets across ecosystems, including Ethereum, Solana, Bitcoin, and more. With WalletConnect Wallet SDK, Trezor now plugs directly into this powerful network to enable:

  • Multichain connectivity: One interface for every chain
  • Fast, secure pairing: No browser extensions or bridges needed
  • Frictionless UX: No dropped sessions or wallet switching

And because the protocol is chain-agnostic, Trezor users are free to explore new protocols and onchain communities, all from the same device they trust.

“We believe self-custody is a basic human right, not a luxury. That’s why, since launching the world’s first hardware wallet, we’ve been building open-source tools that help everyday users stay in charge of their digital assets.

Our community includes everyone from first-time Bitcoiners to seasoned holders. No matter where they are on their journey, they all share one belief: your money should always be in your hands.”

What it means for hardware wallet users

For hardware wallet users, this is a major shift. Connecting to onchain apps used to be messy: browser plugins, custom flows, risky workarounds. Now, WalletConnect provides a native, secure, and fully supported way to interact with apps from your hardware wallet.

Whether you're a first-time Bitcoiner or a power DeFi user, the experience is consistent:

  • Connect directly from your Trezor
  • Interact with apps safely and smoothly
  • Keep full control of your keys, always

The integration also supports Trezor Suite’s broader vision: enabling secure, private crypto usage without adding complexity. WalletConnect’s streamlined UX fits right in.

And as the feature rolls out more broadly, Trezor’s community will gain access to an expanding set of onchain use cases—from token swaps and DAOs to staking and onchain identity.

Made possible by WalletConnect

WalletConnect makes it simple for wallets like Trezor to integrate with the Network.

With WalletConnect, developers can enable secure dapp access, multi-chain support, and session persistence, without compromising UX or reinventing infrastructure. Integration takes minutes, not weeks, and the benefits are immediate: better UX, broader access, and more engaged users.

This upgrade brings Trezor into the next era of onchain user experience. One where secure wallets don’t need to live in a silo, and where users don’t need to trade safety for participation.
