- Introduces a quantum-ready bootloader that enables future-proof firmware updates against emerging cryptographic threats.
- Launching at $249, Safe 7 is now available for preorder, with shipping set to begin in about a month.
A new benchmark in hardware wallet security
Trezor has revealed the Safe 7, a hardware wallet built to meet the evolving demands of digital asset storage. The device includes several firsts for the company, including quantum-resilient protection and wireless capabilities. At its core is a secure element chip — Tropic Zero One (TROPIC01) — that forgoes traditional closed-door agreements in favor of open inspection.
The chip, developed by Trezor’s sister firm TropicSquare, is designed to be verifiable by the security research community. If any tampering occurs, the chip wipes all stored data by default, eliminating the risk of key extraction. Safe 7 also incorporates a dual secure element architecture, pairing the open TROPIC01 chip with an NDA-free EAL6+ secondary element for enhanced physical and cryptographic security.
“From day one, Trezor has been open-source. With Safe 7, even the secure element itself is transparent — no NDAs, no secrets. True trust, verified.”
—Tomaš Sušanka, Trezor’s CTO
Safe 7 also integrates a post-quantum secure bootloader and authentication protocol, enabling quantum-secure firmware updates that keep the device protected as cryptography evolves.
Built for everyday use and long-term durability
Encased in a one-piece aluminum body with Gorilla Glass on the rear, Safe 7 is engineered to resist wear, dust, and moisture. Its IP54 rating ensures protection from everyday environmental damage. The device also features a 2.5-inch edge-to-edge color display, which is 62% larger than any previous Trezor screen, offering a more user-friendly experience.
The onboard 3.2V LiFePO4 battery was chosen for its safe chemistry and long-term stability, capable of delivering up to four times more charging cycles than standard lithium batteries — even when fully discharged.
“We didn’t compromise. We built the most durable, sustainable, and beautiful Trezor yet,” said Ada Budinsky, Head of Product.
Comparing Safe 7 to earlier Trezor models
While Trezor Safe 5 brought haptic feedback and a colorful screen to the product line, Safe 7 goes further with wireless connectivity, a significantly larger display, and quantum-ready architecture. It also introduces full auditability for its secure element chip — a first in the industry.
The more compact Safe 3 remains a cost-effective option, though it lacks the touch interface, microSD support, and advanced security protocols found in higher-end models.
Design options and accessories
Safe 7 will be offered in Obsidian Green, Charcoal Black, and Bitcoin Orange. Buyers will also be able to pair the device with optional accessories, including a privacy screen, flip case, wireless charger, and a multi-purpose protective cover.
Wireless connectivity is powered by Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and Qi2-compatible magnetic charging, secured through the Trezor Host Protocol (THP) — an open-source communication layer that ensures encrypted, authenticated, and private wireless connections across devices.
Through the Trezor Suite platform, users can manage thousands of coins and tokens, trade, stake, and access third-party apps — all from a single interface.
A Bitcoin-only edition is also available, and early preorders include a free Magnetic Qi2 Wireless Charger.
Built for self-custody and future-proof security
“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.”
Trezor unveiled the Safe 7 during its Trustless by Design event in Prague, emphasizing the company’s continued push for transparency, usability, and open security standards.
The bottom line
Trezor’s Safe 7 marks a shift in how hardware wallets approach transparency and longevity. With its dual secure element, quantum-ready architecture, and hardened aluminum design, the device represents a major step forward in protecting digital assets in a rapidly evolving technological landscape.
