Hardware Wallet Firm Trezor Rolls Out New Safe 3 Model, Metal Seed Backup 

Trezor, a leading hardware wallet manufacturing company, unveiled three new products on Thursday aimed at both novice and experienced cryptocurrency users who want to securely self-custody their digital assets.

Trezor Drops New Devices for Self-Custody Proponents

The Trezor Safe 3 includes new security features like a tamper-resistant secure element chip while still adhering to Trezor’s commitment to open-source development, according to the company. The latest generation Trezor hardware wallet supports bitcoin, ethereum and more than 7,000 other cryptocurrencies. It integrates with the Trezor Suite desktop application for crypto management and currently retails for $79 per unit.

“As we approach the next wave of Bitcoin adoption, we’ve introduced some compelling new devices that enable crypto novices and newcomers to enjoy the security and peace of mind that comes with owning and safeguarding their own crypto,” said Trezor CEO Matěj Žák.

For securely backing up the all-important recovery seed phrases needed to restore crypto wallets, Trezor also released the Trezor Keep Metal. Made from corrosion-resistant stainless steel, the device protects recovery seeds from fire, water, and other damages. It comes in versions for both 12-word and 24-word seeds, priced at $99 per unit, as well as a Shamir backup model for $249 per unit.

In honor of the 10-year anniversary of Trezor’s first hardware wallet, the company is also selling 2,013 limited-edition Bitcoin-only Trezor Safe 3 models in a nod to the firm’s founding year. The Bitcoin-orange devices will retail for $79, with $21 from each sale going to Trezor’s Bitcoin education initiative.

Žák said the new product lineup aims to make self-custody more accessible for crypto beginners. The redesigned desktop and mobile apps further simplify managing digital assets with Trezor’s hardware wallets and backup tools, he added.
