Trezor Suite steps up to serve Trezor users

January 19, 2022

3 min read

Trezor, the first hardware wallet, was given a new desktop application in July 2021. It is now completely replacing the old Trezor Wallet interface, which will no longer be supported from the 31st of January. The new app is called Trezor Suite and it is a major improvement that helps secure users of cryptocurrencies against phishing attacks, one of the most burning problems of crypto security nowadays. SatoshiLabs recommends that all Trezor users download the Trezor Suite desktop app and start using the best tool for their long-term security.

Trezor Suite brings significant improvements

As Bitcoin evolves and the number of users grows, different use cases are emerging. That's why security is not just about having the right hardware but also making sure the software used for managing your crypto portfolio takes advantage of all the new capabilities of Bitcoin and doesn't expose you to online threats.



The new desktop application provides a safe and more private environment for managing cryptocurrencies that makes crypto more intuitive and easy to use - especially for those just starting out. Buying crypto from a reputable source directly from your Trezor has never been easier.

“Trezor Suite progressed, evolved and is now fully ready to take over Trezor Wallet with many new features and a complete redesign that improves our users' security and privacy. Switching from Trezor Wallet to Trezor Suite is smooth and easy - just download the Trezor Suite desktop app and enjoy a quick and easy onboarding.”

Matěj Žák, CPO at Trezor

Trezor Suite is packed with security and privacy features

Taking the wallet interface out of the browser environment eliminates the risk of phishing sites tricking users into revealing their seed or other critical information. A desktop app provides more robust protection with more powerful capabilities and reduces the number of mistakes or exploits that could result in someone losing their keys or coins.

Some of the cool features:

One of the first to support Taproot

The Bitcoin Taproot upgrade which was activated in November is already supported by Trezor Suite. This introduces some major changes to Bitcoin that build upon the SegWit upgrade of 2017, which enabled support for the Lightning network. Taproot is expected to have long-term effects on Bitcoin utility and adoption, and will see further advances in the coming years.

Decentralized exchange (DEX)

Buying, exchanging, and selling cryptocurrencies directly from your Trezor hardware wallet is made easy and secure by Invity, a SatoshiLabs company that lets you compare rates across verified exchanges to find the most competitive offers. Now, there is a new way to exchange crypto without KYC, thanks to Invity's integration of 1inch, a decentralized exchange built on the Ethereum network. When using the Trade section under your Ethereum account in Trezor Suite, users can now browse offers from the 1inch decentralized exchange alongside conventional exchanges.

Tor switch

Tor, a free and open-source network that reroutes internet traffic through many different servers, is available in Trezor Suite to prevent your ISP and others from tracking your internet activity. While Tor is quite technical, it has been made as simple as possible - at the click of a button - so all Trezor users can mask their connections.

Discreet mode

When using a Trezor around other people, physical privacy becomes an issue. Showing off account balances — accidentally or otherwise — can lead to risk of extortion or harm. That's why there is a switch in Trezor that blurs out all sensitive data, so users can safely peek at their balances on mouse-over.

Easy onboarding

Trezor Suite provides a quick and easy onboarding that will make sure your wallet is properly set up and secured, even if you've never used a Bitcoin wallet before. Designed as an all-in-one interface, you can safely and easily manage cryptocurrencies and improve your privacy without needing to install additional apps or learn complex networking.

Trezor Achieves Milestone with 100k ETH Staked Through Recently-launched Staking Feature

Trezor

2 min read

Staking was launched only a few months ago in May in Trezor Suite.

Service is in collaboration with reputable Everstake.

Only 0.1 ETH required to start staking.

Trezor, the world’s leading open-source cryptocurrency hardware wallet producer, proudly announces that its users have staked a remarkable 100,000 ETH since the company introduced secure staking in its Trezor Suite in May 2024. Through this new feature, Trezor enables users to earn rewards by participating in Ethereum’s network security directly from their Trezor wallets.

Trezor’s staking service, launched in collaboration with Everstake, a well-regarded staking-as-a-service platform, requires a minimum stake of just 0.1 ETH, making it accessible for a wide range of Ethereum holders. With auto-compounding rewards and a user-friendly setup within Trezor Suite, Trezor has simplified the staking process while maintaining top-tier security standards.

“We are thrilled to see such strong adoption of our staking feature,” said Matěj Žák, CEO of Trezor. “Trezor users believe in self-custody, but also want to see their holdings grow. In fact, staking is a great embodiment of that philosophy - holding rather than selling, but earning interest while allowing the community to benefit from the staked coins, all while keeping them maximally secure. We sensed that there was serious interest for such a service, but even we didn’t expect that we’d blast through this milestone within this year. This impressive level of engagement underscores our community’s commitment to both security and network participation.”

2 min read

  • In 2024, Trezor Academy has run 42 educational programs across 21 countries with more than 800 graduates
  • Trezor Academy supports local educators who teach bitcoin fundamentals. It focuses mainly on Africa

Trezor Academy, a non-profit educational initiative by Trezor, dedicated to promoting Bitcoin adoption in developing regions, made remarkable strides in 2024 in democratizing access to financial knowledge across underserved regions, particularly in the Global South. 

In 2024, Trezor Academy achieved significant milestones:

  • Conducted 42 educational programs, each comprising three consecutive meetups
  • Expanded to 21 countries, with a primary focus on Africa, as well as programs in South America, Mexico, or the Caribbean
  • The lectures were conducted in English, Spanish, and French, but also in local African languages
  • Educated over 800 local participants, equipping them with essential Bitcoin knowledge

Driven by its mission to accelerate Bitcoin adoption worldwide, Trezor Academy leverages interactive meetups led by local educators. These sessions, attended by 20-30 participants each, cover Bitcoin fundamentals — explaining its importance, functionality, and practical use for making payments.

Empowering Local Educators
Trezor Academy emphasizes local engagement by training and supporting educators to teach in their native languages and adapt content to align with cultural and economic contexts. These educators are provided with Bitcoin literature, resources, and modest financial support to ensure sustainability and impact.

Trezor Academy partnered with grassroots organizations globally, collaborating with initiatives such as Bitcoin Dada in Kenya, Bridgesats in the Democratic Republic of Congo, Nova Stars in Suriname, or African Bitcoiners, a Pan-African effort.

“We are proud to see Trezor Academy bring the transformative potential of bitcoin closer to communities that stand to benefit most,” said Josef Tětek, Trezor’s well-known Bitcoin evangelist who is the founder and driving force behind Trezor Academy. “Our mission has only just begun, and we look forward to expanding this initiative globally.”

Looking Ahead
Building on its success, Trezor Academy aims to continue its efforts in 2025 and expanding further by reaching new countries and engaging passionate local educators to spread Bitcoin knowledge within their communities.

For Bitcoin educators interested in organizing a Trezor Academy meetup, the initiative offers collaboration opportunities to bring Bitcoin education to local communities.

Trezor Safe 5 launches, bringing everyday convenience to crypto hardware wallets

Premium device combines color touchscreen with haptic feedback, EAL 6+ Secure Element, and enhanced backup processes

Trezor Safe 5

Trezor, the original bitcoin hardware wallet company, today introduces the Trezor Safe 5, which brings everyday convenience to securely storing, managing and buying cryptocurrencies in a cold-storage wallet. Drawing on more than ten years’ experience of open source security, the Trezor Safe 5 packs an array of powerful attributes that support active, regular management of crypto assets, while maintaining Trezor’s commitment to exceptional levels of usability and security:

  • Color touchscreen and Trezor Touch haptic engine for a richer interactive experience 
  • NDA-Free, EAL 6+ certified, Secure Element designed to protect sensitive information and perform cryptographic operations
  • An enhanced, more robust, 20-word backup process offers a seamless upgrade from a standard Single-share Backup to an Advanced Multi-share Backup
  • All Gorilla-Glass surface protects device from scratches and damage

With a vibrant color touchscreen, the Trezor Safe 5 delivers a visually engaging interface. Its large screen gives users additional reassurance about the transactions they’re processing. The Trezor Touch haptic engine enriches interactions to deliver an experience so intuitive users can feel it. 

As with all Trezor hardware, the Trezor Safe 5 is designed on open source security principles, enabling the Trezor community to verify the technology and giving them confidence in the integrity of the wallet. The device’s Secure Element has EAL 6+ certification, confirming that the chip has undergone extensive testing and can withstand sophisticated attacks. The absence of non-disclosure agreements (NDAs) covering use of the Secure Element in the device provides a transparent foundation for security to further enhance protection.

The new, enhanced backup standard, which now uses 20 words, improves the user-friendliness of the backup and recovery process. The upgraded wordlist contains carefully selected words that are easily distinguishable from each other.

Most importantly, with the enhanced backup users can seamlessly upgrade from a standard Single-share Backup to an Advanced Multi-share Backup, offering superior security with no single point of failure. The backup is created using Shamir's secret sharing to split the master secret key into multiple unique shares. Users can decide how many unique shares the advanced backup consists of and how many are needed to restore the wallet. Even if some shares are lost, users can still access their crypto. 

To protect wallet backup phrases from fire, water and physical damage, Trezor will also offer a 20-word version of its Trezor Keep Metal solution for USD 99 at the beginning of July. 

The Trezor Safe 5 will still support other legacy backup processes if users prefer those options, and earlier standards are still functional when recovering from older models.

The high-performance specifications of the wallet are matched in its sleek, appealing design. Available in Black Graphite, Violet Ore and Green Beryl, the device is encased in damage-proof Gorilla Glass, providing durability along with a refined look and feel.

 

Supporting a wide range of cryptocurrencies, including Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and thousands more, Trezor Safe 5’s extensive compatibility ensures that users can securely store, manage, stake, and use their crypto all in one place via the Trezor Suite desktop and the accompanying mobile app to monitor crypto from a mobile phone on the go. Additionally, users can draw on Trezor’s extensive network of third-party services, empowering them to fully customize their crypto experience according to their unique needs.

Trezor Safe 5 extends the Trezor Safe product family following the launch of the Trezor Safe 3 – an easy-to-use, secure hardware wallet for crypto novices – in October 2023. 

Special devices just for bitcoiners

For Bitcoin devotees, Trezor is also introducing a new Bitcoin-only option that removes non-bitcoin related features and code, ensuring a smooth and optimized bitcoin-only experience. After a limited run of Bitcoin-only Trezor Safe 3s sold out in a matter of hours at launch, Trezor will now offer an unlimited edition of the Bitcoin-only Trezor Safe 3 and Trezor Safe 5 – both sporting the familiar fiery orange shade – for general sale.  

Trezor Safe 5 Bitcoin-only

Matěj Žák, Trezor’s Chief Executive Officer, said: “Understandably, many crypto enthusiasts lack trust in exchanges and are looking for an easy and secure way to interact with their crypto assets. However, with hardware wallets often designed more for ‘hodling’ crypto rather than using crypto on a more regular basis, we saw that there was an opportunity to  bring something new to the sector – enter the Trezor Safe 5, the ultimate hardware wallet for crypto users looking for everyday utility along with the highest level of security and effortless usability.”

Matěj Žák launched the Trezor Safe 5 on stage at BTC Prague 2024 where he also introduced new service, Trezor Expert, a service dedicated to building user confidence in self-custody. Trezor Expert specialists provide personalized, one-on-one online onboarding sessions for Trezor customers, helping them to set up their hardware wallets. The service eases customer concerns about making errors and gives them an improved understanding of the security considerations surrounding self-custody. 

The Trezor Safe 5 is available for preorder today at a retail price of USD 169. Trezor Safe 5 Bitcoin-only and Black Graphite are also available for preorder with shipping at the beginning of July. Trezor Safe 5 Green Beryl and Violet Ore will be available by mid-August.
