Access and exclusions

Available in the recorded evidence · evidence dated .

Trezor sells hardware, not an account you log into. That changes which questions matter: not uptime or withdrawal limits, but what the device costs to own, whether it ships to you, what happens to your backup if the house floods, and which incidents in the brand's history touched customers. This page works from one dated evidence evidence record and says plainly where that evidence record stops.

Who this hardware wallet suits

The model carrying this review is the Trezor Safe 7, the $249 flagship of the Safe line, built around a touchscreen and two secure elements 5. Its trade-off shows up twice in opposite directions. Transaction details appear on the device screen for approval before anything gets signed, so a compromised laptop display is not the last word on where your coins are going 5. The same architecture removes the safety net: your recovery backup exists only where you physically put it, with no cloud copy and no support desk that can restore access.

Want someone able to reset you after a bad week? This is the wrong category of product. Want the signing decision to happen on hardware in your pocket? Read on through cost and recovery before you commit.

Device model, cost and availability

Price is the whole fee story here. The Safe line starts at $59 for the Safe 3 and tops out at $249 for the Safe 7; the Safe 5 sits at $129 5. One listing in the evidence record quotes $349 for the Safe 7, and the value used on this page is the one most sources agree on. Holding crypto on the device carries no custody subscription 5. US shipping and state sales tax are not in the record, so treat $249 as the sticker rather than your landed cost.

The entity behind the brand is Trezor Company s.r.o., a company under Czech jurisdiction (CZ) named as operator in the trezor.io Terms of Use 3. The business traces to 2013 and runs from Prague, Czech Republic 3. Naming that entity in published terms is a disclosure practice, nothing more: the evidence record records no financial license for the company, and the consolidated EU financial sanctions file generated in September 2026 shows no match for the brand or its entity 26. Absence from a sampled list is not regulatory approval of anything you buy.

US availability is marked yes as of September 26, 2026, with an empty excluded-states list 15. That is sale and delivery scope. No state is singled out in the entry, and buying a self-custody device is not the custodial service a New York money-transmission license would turn on, so New York access follows shipping rather than any state authorization recorded here.

Signing, connectivity and compatibility

Which model you pick decides how you use it day to day. Bluetooth is documented for the Safe 7, and full wireless functionality in the Trezor Suite app is documented for that model, while earlier Safe devices get narrower mobile support such as portfolio viewing and address generation 5. iOS support is recorded as yes 5. USB-C is confirmed in the evidence record for the Safe 3 and Safe 5 but not stated for the Safe 7. One source credits the Safe 7 with NFC and another denies it, so the evidence record leaves the port and radio list partly open. QR-code signing does not appear anywhere in it.

On asset coverage, the record holds roughly 9,000 or more assets reachable through Trezor Suite and third-party applications, including WalletConnect-based DeFi and NFT apps 5. A single total for supported blockchain networks is not in the evidence record: the official coins page reports network counts per asset (44 for Ethereum, for instance), which describes a token's reach rather than the device's. Multisig is supported across Trezor devices 5.

Documented item Dated value and scope What it means for you
Flagship model and list price Trezor Safe 7, $249, as recorded September 26, 2026 Your cost is device plus shipping and tax; no ongoing custody fee
On-device transaction review Yes, Safe 7, as recorded September 26, 2026 Amount and address get confirmed on the device, not on your computer screen
Bluetooth Yes, Safe 7, as recorded September 26, 2026 Wireless pairing with the mobile app; earlier Safe models are more limited on phones
US availability Yes, no excluded states, as recorded September 26, 2026 Sale and delivery scope only, not a state licensing finding
Third-party support portal breach January 2024; names, usernames and emails of about 66,000 users exposed; compensation: none Your contact data can end up in a phishing list without any device being touched
EU financial sanctions screening No match in the consolidated EU file generated September 2026 No EU listing for brand or entity; this is not a product endorsement

Recovery model and security history

SLIP-39 is the default backup standard on the Safe 7, as it has been on the Safe 3 since mid-2024 and on the Safe 5, with BIP-39 at 12 or 24 words still available as an option 5. The practical difference: SLIP-39 lets a single backup be split into multiple shares, so a lost card does not have to mean a lost wallet, and the company points most users to multi-share backup instead of running a full multisig setup 5. Nothing about either standard is stored for you. Lose every share and the coins are gone.

The Safe 7 is the first in the line with two secure elements, including a chip the company describes as auditable by independent researchers without an NDA, alongside firmware and app code published as open source 5. The evidence record contains no link to a specific independent audit report, only statements about openness to audit, which is a different thing. Earlier Model One and Model T devices shipped without a dedicated secure element at all, the root of the long public argument with Ledger about open code versus hardware isolation 5.

Three breaches sit in the record, all at third-party suppliers. January 2024: a support portal hack exposed names, usernames and emails of roughly 66,000 users, with no compensation recorded 13. August 13, 2026: order data leaked through logistics contractor ShipMonk, initially about 11,742 customers fully exposed and 1,947 partially, rising after further investigation to roughly 81,000 including some 67,000 additional US customers 15. September 9, 2026: an intrusion at email provider Brevo pushed phishing mail to about 347,149 newsletter addresses, with roughly 2,500 recipients clicking before the malicious domain was blocked within about 20 minutes 13. The company states its own systems, firmware and devices were not compromised in these events, and no customer funds appear in the loss figures. No regulator or law-enforcement action against the entity appears in the evidence record.

What remains outside this review

Nobody here unboxed a Safe 7. Setup flow, screen responsiveness, the IP67 durability claim, wireless charging behavior and an actual restore from a SLIP-39 share are all outside this evidence, and a review that reports them from documents would be inventing them.

Several fields in the evidence record are simply empty. Support channels are one: the record holds a general pointer to the official support page with no confirmation of live chat, phone or ticketing. App store ratings for Trezor Suite were not collected in this round, and no Trustpilot or forum sweep was run, so community sentiment is absent rather than negative. The list of countries excluded from retail shipping is not in the record either.

An empty field means this dataset does not cover it. It does not mean the feature or the channel is missing.

How to choose for your custody needs

Fit here is conditional, and the condition is what you plan to do with the device. For long-term holding where you touch the wallet a few times a year, the backup standard and the on-device confirmation matter more than the radio. For frequent mobile signing, the Safe 7 is the model the evidence record documents for full app functionality over Bluetooth, which is exactly where the $249 tier earns its gap over the $129 Safe 5 5.

Before you buy: a five-point check

  1. Identity and geography. Confirm you are on trezor.io and ordering from the named entity, Trezor Company s.r.o.; clone storefronts reuse the brand freely.
  2. The operation you need. Mobile signing points to the Safe 7; a desktop-only workflow may not justify the step up from the Safe 5.
  3. Cost and status limits. Budget $249 plus shipping and your state sales tax, with no subscription attached; US scope is sale and delivery, not a licensing status.
  4. Custody boundary. You hold the only recovery copy. Decide where the shares live, and who else can reach them, before the device arrives.
  5. Next step. Treat the three supplier breaches as a standing reason to distrust any email asking for a backup phrase, including mail that looks like it came from the maker.

Quick questions

Which Trezor model does this review cover? The Trezor Safe 7, the $249 flagship 5. The Safe 3 and Safe 5 share the brand and the app but not the dual secure element or the full Bluetooth signing documented for the Safe 7, so this page should not be read as covering them.

What recovery and connection options are documented? SLIP-39 is the default backup on the Safe 7, with BIP-39 at 12 or 24 words as an option, and multisig is supported across Trezor devices 5. Bluetooth and on-device transaction review are both documented for this model.

Was a recovery test performed for this review? No. The assessment rests on company documents and dated reporting, with no device handled and no backup restored, so read the recovery section as what the maker publishes.

Your next step

Match the five-point check against your own setup before you spend anything, and compare the signing and backup model with a related service profile if mobile use is your main case.
