At a landmark event held in Prague, the birthplace of Trezor, CEO Matej Zak has launched what the company is calling the future of cryptocurrency self-custody: The Trezor Safe 7.
Zak opened the presentation with a powerful historical parallel. He recounted how Czechoslovakia's government devalued its currency in the 20th century to introduce a new one, effectively erasing 98% of citizens' savings overnight. This cautionary tale underscores why Trezor's founding principle remains urgent today: true financial sovereignty requires control over your own assets.
Since 2013, Trezor has championed the mantra "not your keys, not your coins", the idea that only by holding your own private keys can you truly own your cryptocurrency. The Safe 7 represents the company's most ambitious effort yet to make that principle accessible, secure, and future-proof.
The new device introduces several meaningful upgrades:
Breaking from traditional hardware wallets, the Safe 7 operates entirely wirelessly via Bluetooth, eliminating the need for physical connections while maintaining security through Trezor's proprietary protection systems. Wireless charging further enhances the untethered experience.
A new 330mAh battery delivers four times the charging cycle longevity of previous models and can safely discharge to 0% without degradation, addressing a common frustration with lithium-ion batteries.
The 2.5-inch color touchscreen is 62% larger than its predecessor, improving usability for transaction verification and navigation.
COO Danny Sanders positioned the Safe 7 as "the complete solution in self-custody," supported by a revamped software platform now called Trezor Suite (dropping the "Lite" designation). This unified interface enables:
Seamless integration with thousands of crypto-native applications
Compatibility with external wallets like MetaMask
Streamlined asset management across trading and storage functions
Perhaps most forward-thinking is Trezor's emphasis on quantum-ready protections. While the team acknowledged that quantum computing remains poorly understood by most users, and that Bitcoin's current protocols aren't designed for quantum threats, they've engineered the Safe 7 with cryptographic safeguards for this inevitable technological shift.
This positions Trezor not just as a response to today's security challenges, but as preparation for tomorrow's.
The Safe 7 arrives at a critical moment for cryptocurrency adoption. As digital assets move toward mainstream acceptance, the tension between convenience and security intensifies. Trezor's bet is that users won't have to choose, that hardware wallets can be both user-friendly and uncompromising on security.
By grounding their innovation in historical lessons about monetary control, Trezor frames self-custody not as a technical preference but as a fundamental right worth protecting with the best tools available.
