Trezor, the pioneer in hardware crypto wallets, has launched the Safe 7, introducing the world's first transparent and auditable secure element, TROPIC01, and a quantum-ready architecture. This marks a significant advancement in digital self-custody, addressing long-standing trust issues in opaque, proprietary hardware by enabling open-source verification at every layer.
The quantum-ready bootloader ensures that when blockchain networks transition to post-quantum algorithms, users can safely update their devices without replacement, future-proofing against potential quantum computing threats. CTO Tomáš Sušanka emphasized, "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."
Safe 7 features a dual-chip architecture, combining TROPIC01 with a secondary EAL6+ NDA-free component for enhanced physical and cryptographic protection. Sensitive actions like key confirmations require manual approval on a 2.5-inch color touchscreen, keeping private keys isolated. CEO Matěj Žák stated, "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."
Beyond security, the wallet offers wireless convenience with Bluetooth Low Energy for encrypted connections, magnetic Qi2-compatible wireless charging, an anodized aluminum unibody with IP54 protection, and a LiFePO4 battery for durability. It integrates with Trezor Suite to manage thousands of coins and tokens, including Bitcoin and Ethereum, with a Bitcoin-only edition available. Priced at $249 (€249), Safe 7 is available for pre-order in Charcoal Black and Bitcoin-only versions, with shipping starting in four weeks. Accessories include a free Qi2 wireless charger for pre-orders.
