A plan byTrezor

4.5/5 4.8/5 · Data verified on

Trezor, made by SatoshiLabs (Czech Republic), is the first hardware wallet ever sold and one of the most respected for transparency: firmware and design are open-source and auditable. The current lineup starts with the Safe 3 (≈€59) with an EAL6+ certified secure element and two buttons, moves up to the Safe 5 (≈€129) with a colour touchscreen and haptic feedback, and tops out with the Safe 7 (≈€249) with Bluetooth, Qi2 wireless charging and the auditable TROPIC01 chip. Every model also comes in a Bitcoin-only edition. Devices are managed through the Trezor Suite app (desktop and web), which also integrates buy/sell/swap (Invity) and staking for ADA, ETH, SOL and TRX. The legacy Model One and Model T have been discontinued.

Strengths

  • Auditable open-source firmware and design; EAL6+ secure element on Safe models; mature Trezor Suite app; industry pioneer with a long track record.
  • Self-custody: funds stay in your wallet — the platform cannot touch them.
  • No KYC: usable without identity verification.
  • Open-source, verifiable code.
  • Self-hostable: you can run your own instance or node.

Weaknesses

  • USB-C connection (Bluetooth on the Safe 7), not air-gapped; the Model One and Model T have been discontinued; coin support mainly handled via Suite; buying and swapping inside Suite carries third-party provider fees plus a Trezor commission.
  • No notable sovereignty drawback documented.

Verdict

S S ★ 4.5/5 ★ 4.8/5

Score 4.5/5, outstanding profile. In its favour: auditable open-source firmware and design; EAL6+ secure element on Safe models; mature Trezor Suite app; industry pioneer with a long track record. The trade-off to weigh: uSB-C connection (Bluetooth on the Safe 7), not air-gapped; the Model One and Model T have been discontinued; coin support mainly handled via Suite; buying and swapping inside Suite carries third-party provider fees plus a Trezor commission.

On the Sovereignty lens the score is 4.8/5 (outstanding): the strength is fund control (5.0/5), while privacy & anonymity (4.5/5) is the weak link.

Privacy & anonymity 30% 4.5

FAQ

How much does a Trezor cost?

The entry-level Safe 3 costs about €59 ($59 on the official shop). The Safe 5 with a colour touchscreen costs about €129, and the flagship Safe 7, with Bluetooth and wireless charging, about €249. The older Model One and Model T are no longer sold.

Is Trezor open source?

Yes, largely so: firmware, software and hardware design are public and auditable. This is one of the brand's historic strengths versus competitors with closed-source firmware.

Does Trezor have a secure element?

The Safe 3, Safe 5 and Safe 7 use an EAL6+ certified secure element; the Safe 7 also adds the TROPIC01 chip, which Trezor presents as the first auditable secure element. The older Model One, now discontinued, had none and relied on the microcontroller alone.

  1. reputazione Not affected by the 30 Jul 2026 Coldcard exploit (an entropy flaw specific to that firmware): Trezor stated user funds are safe, different randomness-generator design.
  2. reputazione TROPIC01 chip vulnerability (Safe 7) and a Safe 3 disclosure, found in lab conditions by Ledger Donjon (laser fault injection: requires physical access and advanced equipment). No real-world attack, funds safe, transparent handling via responsible disclosure.
