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.

Fully wireless hardware wallet introduces the world’s first auditable secure element and quantum-ready architecture for next-generation protection

Trezor, the original hardware wallet company, has launched Trezor Safe 7, a new-generation hardware wallet that introduces several industry firsts: a fully auditable secure element (TROPIC01), and a quantum-ready architecture. It also features seamless mobile connectivity, making it easier than ever to manage crypto securely from anywhere.

With a vibrant color touchscreen, anodized aluminum unibody, and open-source firmware, Trezor Safe 7 is built to offer transparent, long-term self-custody without compromising on usability or design.

Trezor Safe 7

First transparent secure element

At the core of the device is TROPIC01, the world's first transparent and auditable secure element. Unlike conventional secure elements that rely on non-disclosed architecture, TROPIC01 allows the community to inspect, verify, and validate its design. This approach addresses a long-standing issue in crypto security: the need to trust proprietary hardware without insight into how it works.

Quantum-ready architecture

Trezor Safe 7 is also designed with the future in mind. Its quantum-ready architecture means the device supports quantum-secure updates, ensuring the device’s integrity and trustworthiness over time. When networks eventually upgrade to post-quantum security, you won’t need to replace your hardware wallet.

“Security has always been the foundation of everything we do at Trezor. With Trezor Safe 7, we're introducing TROPIC01, the world's first transparent and auditable secure element. It sets a new standard for both security and transparency in hardware wallets. 
For years, I believed quantum computers belonged to science fiction, but the pace of innovation is changing that. Within the next decade, Bitcoin and other blockchains will have to move to post-quantum algorithms. It’s not a question of if, but when. That's why we built a quantum-ready bootloader into Safe 7. When the time comes, your device can be safely updated, even in a future where quantum computers pose a threat. 
Combining this quantum-readiness with TROPIC01 sets a new standard for open, future-proof security. For us, it's always about protecting digital freedom with tools that are secure, usable, and transparent."  added Tomáš Sušanka, CTO at Trezor. 

Security without compromise

Trezor Safe 7 applies a layered approach to secure crypto storage. It features dual secure elements — the transparent and auditable TROPIC01 chip and NDA-free EAL6+  secondary element — ensuring physical and cryptographic protection. Private keys are kept completely isolated from the host system, while all sensitive actions must be physically confirmed on a 2.5” high-resolution color LCD touchscreen.

"At a time when convenience is pulling users toward custodians and ETFs, we believe it's more important than ever to reinforce what self-custody really means — full control, without compromise,” said Matěj Žák, CEO at Trezor. “Trezor Safe 7 is our answer: the first hardware wallet with a fully auditable secure element, dual-chip architecture, and wireless design built for the long term. It reflects everything we stand for — transparency, usability, and trust that doesn’t ask for permission. With this device, we’re making the safest option also the most intuitive, and raising the bar for what users should expect from crypto security,"

Designed for modern usability

Trezor Safe 7 supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), magnetic Qi2-compatible wireless charging, and features a high-resolution color touchscreen. Bluetooth communication is secured via Trezor Host Protocol (THP), an open-source layer that ensures encrypted, authenticated, and private connections across mobile, desktop, and tablet. These hardware choices are paired with a robust aluminum unibody and Gorilla Glass protection, offering a seamless experience across mobile and desktop environments.

Through the Trezor Suite platform, users can manage thousands of coins and tokens, trade, stake, and access third-party integrations — all in one interface.

Trezor introduced the Safe 7 during a live event in Prague called Trustless by Design (TBD), giving the crypto community a first look at its new flagship. A full recording of the launch is available on the official Trezor YouTube channel.

Open Hardware Security Moves Mainstream - TROPIC01 becomes the world’s first transparent secure element to power a consumer device, establishing a new benchmark for open, auditable hardware security.

Fabless semiconductor company Tropic Square, today announced a major milestone with the integration of its open architecture secure element, TROPIC01, into the newly launched Trezor Safe 7 hardware wallet. This marks the first time an open and auditable security chip has been deployed in a mass-market consumer device, establishing a new benchmark for transparency as the foundation of trust in hardware security.

Hardware wallet industry founder Trezor leaned on Tropic Square early in the concept phase of its new-generation device to find a chip that was truly open and would provide an unprecedented level of protection for users’ data and digital assets. 

Tropic Square and Trezor are among a new generation of companies challenging the decades-old model of security by obscurity. Their collaboration demonstrates how auditable and verifiable hardware can secure critical endpoints, having now created one of the most secure and forward-looking architectures in the crypto industry.

As connected devices are projected to surpass 31 billion by 2030 and cyber threats escalate, decentralized trust and verifiable hardware are becoming fundamental in meeting new security levels, regardless of the application or use case. Auditable endpoint protection is as relevant to hardware wallets as it is to securing personal identity systems, critical infrastructure, embedded AI and other edge applications. The integration of TROPIC01 into Trezor Safe 7 marks the first step toward broader adoption across hardware wallets and other core technology sectors. 

“What we’ve achieved with Trezor is more than a product milestone, it’s a signal for the entire hardware industry that open and verifiable security is the only sustainable path forward,” said Jan Pleskac, CEO and Co-founder of Tropic Square. 

With Trezor Safe 7, we wanted to set a new standard for hardware wallet security. And thanks to TROPIC01, the world’s first transparent and auditable secure element, our product delivers one of the most robust security architectures in the industry,” said Matěj Žák, CEO of Trezor. “For us it was an obvious approach, one that we envisioned many years ago and that Tropic Square was able to deliver,” he added.

TROPIC01 in Trezor Safe 7

TROPIC01’s design for Trezor Safe 7 introduces the unique MAC&Destroy feature - mechanism that prevents brute-force attacks by irreversibly limiting PIN attempts and destroying authentication tokens after repeated failures. Combined with TROPIC01’s built-in anti-tampering sensors and physical security defenses, this ensures that secrets remain secure even under physical assault, a critical safeguard for devices that protect digital assets. 

Tropic Square released its flagship chip TROPIC01 in February 2025 and recently moved into full production and worldwide availability. The open design philosophy has sparked a fundamental shift away from the industry’s traditional reliance on blind black box architecture to one that allows device integrity. This new wave of security chips allows manufacturers to verify what runs inside the devices they produce. With TROPIC01, companies can now audit down to the silicon level, ensuring there are no undocumented features, backdoors, or hidden vulnerabilities.

Tropic Square's open security approach and unique security mechanisms align with evolving regulations such as the EU Cyber Resilience Act (CRA), which emphasize transparency, accountability, and open vulnerability disclosure. Tropic Square’s peer-reviewed, continuously improving design model anticipates these changes by making adaptability and community-driven verification core features of its security platform.

Trust in technology must be earned through a user’s ability to verify what’s beneath the surface.  TROPIC01 does that by allowing device makers to truly see what’s inside their devices and to continuously adapt to new threats. A line of defence that is impossible under closed, proprietary models,” said Pleskac.

TROPIC01 is now shipping globally with next-day delivery, no NDAs, and no barriers. Available on development boards like Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Mikroe, and a new USB-C version you can get production-ready boards and samples today through our networks of partners or via the website.

From Open Design to Global Distribution, a New Era of Hardware Security Begins

Tropic Square today announced that its award-winning secure element, TROPIC01, has officially entered full production and is now available globally through a growing network of distribution partners.

Launched earlier this year and already recognized with numerous industry awards, TROPIC01 is the industry’s first open, auditable, and continuously tested secure chip. In just six months, the team moved TROPIC01 from engineering samples to final production and volume shipping. This milestone is the beginning of a new era in hardware security, giving OEMs, device developers and manufacturers a unique opportunity to embrace transparency, auditability and speed of access.

Unlike traditional secure chips locked behind NDAs, guarded documentation, secrecy and slow approval, TROPIC01 is openly documented and can ship as soon as the next day.  Development boards, including Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Mikroe and the newly released USB-C version are readily available. This level of accessibility and speed of availability removes barriers, enabling innovation from individual developers and startups to global companies. It also drives the creation of new markets and applications.

“With TROPIC01 now in full production, developers can move from prototyping to production with confidence,” said Jan Pleskac, CEO and Co-founder of Tropic Square. “That confidence is essential, because electronic devices are under constant attack. And our open approach embraces that reality. TROPIC01 isn’t just another chip, it’s a living security process that evolves with every threat. And with our expanding network of distribution partners, teams of any size around the globe can easily access it,” he added.

Designed for applications demanding advanced security and integrity, TROPIC01 rejects outdated “security through obscurity” models. Instead, it follows Kerckhoffs's principle based on independent verification and open evaluation. Continuously tested and scrutinized by customers, researchers, and the Tropic Square team, the chip evolves rapidly through accelerated improvements in firmware, ensuring it serves real-world needs while keeping the ecosystem open and collaborative.

Miro Svetlik, Co-founder of ContentWise and early adopter of TROPIC01 stated, “Our single-board computers are built with a clear philosophy: security by design, not by afterthought. Building on top of OpenWRT Linux and integrating Arm Secure Boot and Tropic Square’s TROPIC01 secure element, we deliver systems where security is the foundation. What we truly appreciate about TROPIC01 is the great documentation and transparency. Because if I can’t verify it, I can’t trust it. And if I can’t trust it, how can my clients?”

In industries where device integrity can’t be compromised, whether it’s crypto hardware and hardware wallets, digital Identity (Access Management, USB authenticators, Secure Storage) or IoT (Decentralized IoT, Critical Infrastructure, Industrial, Edge AI robots), developers can now source a secure element that combines tamper-proof technology with auditability for long-term resilience.

Production-ready TROPIC01 boards and samples are available today through Tropic Square’s distribution partners like Digikey and at  www.tropicsquare.com.

Czech startup Vexl and Vexl Foundation, both part of the SatoshiLabs group, are launching their own digital mobile app marketplace called the Freedom Store. This new platform is designed for iOS users in the European Union who want greater control over their devices. The Freedom Store offers access to open-source applications, including Bitcoin wallets and e-cash tools. It also targets tech-savvy users seeking free, unrestricted access to apps. The mission of the Freedom Store is to continue the work of the Vexl Foundation in protecting financial and digital freedom.

The Freedom Store was created in response to the growing centralization of power in the digital space. The project emphasizes user sovereignty and independence by providing practical tools that help individuals preserve their freedom in an increasingly controlled online environment.

"We are launching the Freedom Store in collaboration with AltStore.io, a platform also used by companies like Epic Games. This allows users to install apps outside the official App Store, bypassing Apple’s censorship, tracking, and the risk of their favorite apps disappearing overnight. Our focus is primarily on open-source applications that support personal freedom and sovereignty in various ways - such as Bitcoin wallets, e-cash solutions, and applications for the Nostr protocol. For us, this is another important step toward greater digital freedom," says Lea Petrášová, CEO of Vexl and President of the Vexl Foundation.

Enabling users to download apps from outside the App Store

The development of this open digital marketplace aims to give people access to software that might otherwise be banned or restricted. The Vexl Foundation is also responding to a new regulatory opportunity in the European Union, which now permits alternative app distribution outside of the App Store. The Czech non-profit organization intends to seize this moment to promote freedom, privacy, and technological independence.

"I’m proud that we’ve managed to turn years of frustration over the deeply imbalanced and unsolicited struggle with Apple into a productive solution - one that can also benefit other apps in our industry. The Freedom Store is a natural extension of the Vexl Foundation’s mission. While Vexl focuses on censorship-free, KYC-free peer-to-peer Bitcoin trading, the Freedom Store brings that philosophy to the realm of software distribution," adds Petrášová.
