For over a decade, Trezor has been pursuing fundamental transparency in digital asset security.
Because in cryptocurrency, if you don’t want to trust the company, open source is the only option.
With the new Trezor Safe 7, we take this promise even further.
Over 10 years of innovation has resulted in the most advanced hardware wallet ever, built to give you complete control and uncompromising security.
There has never been a hardware wallet like this before. Trezor Safe 7 is more than an upgrade…

Did you know that SatoshiLabs was founded in 2020 for one reason?
“Tropic Square is a private company founded in 2020 in response to the lack of Secure Element chips with open architecture in the market.”
secure element chip.
These chips are included in almost every piece of technology we use to protect sensitive information, from credit cards to cell phones to passports. With the latest hardware wallets.
These tamper-evident chips are used to securely store secrets and enforce access controls.
problem:
This chip lacks transparency. Chip design is still a world full of secrecy about technical details, so it is impossible for us as a community to fully verify its security.
For the Trezor Safe 3 and Trezor Safe 5, we use the industry-leading Secure Element chip that doesn’t require a non-disclosure (NDA) agreement, but to fully realize our ideals, we had to go further…
Trezor Safe 7 is the first hardware wallet with an auditable secure element chip.
Another ‘first’ from Trezor in collaboration with Tropic Square.
Trezor Safe 7 is powered by TROPIC01, the world’s first transparent and auditable secure element chip that sets a new standard in cryptographic security.
Thanks to Tropic Square, for the first time ever, we have community-verified secure element chips at the hardware level, eliminating the need for trust.
When SatoshiLabs started making these chips with the Tropic Square team five years ago, we were told:
“That’s a waste of money.”
“I can’t do that.”
The same goes for other companies in this industry.
But today we have prepared such a chip for Trezor Safe 7!
To make this device even more secure, we have maintained an NDA-free secure element chip. It has a dual secure element architecture..
“How do these two chips make Trezor Safe 7 more secure?”
The first NDA-free EAL 6+ secure element securely enforces PIN verification, protecting devices from physical access.
By not storing your PIN on your device, you protect your keys from brute-force attacks if your device is stolen or lost.
The TROPIC01 Secure Element chip adds another layer of protection by securely enforcing PIN verification to protect your device from physical access. Now any malicious actor would have to break two chips from separate manufacturers..
This is not all we are ‘first’ about.
Ready for the future: Trezor Safe 7 supports both
Before you panic about quantum computing arriving tomorrow, this is just a way to take steps to future-proof our devices. It’s a first step in the right direction for the industry.
We believe it is better to prepare for future threats. Trezor Safe 7 is the world’s first hardware wallet with quantum-enabled architecture..
It is designed to protect against possible quantum attacks, and when your encryption is ready to switch to quantum-resistant encryption, you can use a quantum-enabled bootloader to quickly do so.
Below is a quote from Chief Technology Officer (CTO) Tomáš Sušánka on quantum computing threats:
“If you had asked me 10 years ago, I would have said that quantum security was pure science fiction. However, with the advancements we are seeing, I think it is clear that Bitcoin will need to transition to post-quantum algorithms within the next 10 years. Not yet, but definitely ahead of us. That is why we decided to take the first step in the industry with Trezor Safe 7: creating a quantum-enabled hardware wallet.”
This is a device built to keep you secure for decades to come.
But you can’t just be safe. I need something different…
The first wireless Trezor
that Trezor Safe 7 now features encrypted Bluetooth connectivity + magnetic wireless charging.
This means no more fumbling for cables. You can quickly use the device with a simple Bluetooth connection on your mobile, tablet, or laptop.
And the battery?
- LiFePO₄ batteries are built for long-term storage with four times more charge cycles than standard lithium batteries.
- Each security charge lasts up to 100 transactions.
- It is designed to handle safely to zero percent (no unexpected damage) even when stored for long periods of time.
Are you concerned about wireless security?
Trezor Safe 7 uses the secure, open-source Trezor-Host protocol with dual pairing capabilities to ensure all connections between your Trezor wallet and Trezor Suite are secure and encrypted.
If you want to use a cable, don’t worry. The device still supports USB-C as well.
Trezor Safe 7 was designed with ease of use in mind.
“There is a saying in the security industry that I love and firmly defend. ‘Security at the expense of usability comes at the expense of security.’
This captures exactly what we are fighting for. Self-care solutions must be safe and easy to use. Because if people avoid it because of its complexity, that defeats the whole point of cryptocurrency security.” —Tomáš Sušánka, Chief Technology Officer
Durable encryption hardware
Hardware wallets aren’t just for HODLing anymore..
In the past, you might have used Trezor once a month or less, but as the cryptocurrency ecosystem has grown, we’ve found that hardware wallets have become a staple that many use daily. Users often use multiple devices to access their assets while traveling and on the go.
Here’s why Trezor Safe 7 has added durability:
- Premium aluminum all-metal unibody for stylish style and long-term use.
- Completely dust-proof and water-proof (IP67 rating)
- Added Gorilla Glass protection to the display for improved shatter and scratch resistance.
- Stylish and durable glass backplate
And what ties it all together?…
A decade of open source innovation is now at your fingertips.
Trezor Safe 7 is built on open source code and design so everyone can see and see how it works.
So when we release a device like the Trezor Safe 7 that redefines self-care as we know it, the entire industry can benefit and grow.
It is this transparency that ensures the highest level of security and gives you confidence that your cryptocurrency is protected.
If you want to keep your cryptocurrencies safe for years to come with the best open source security, order Trezor Safe 7 today and experience the future of self-management.
