Balancing Design and Security, The Trezor Way | by Billy Campbell

Welcome to Trezor Pulse! We’re excited to bring you the latest updates and stories from across Trezor, as we continue to create innovative solutions that empower you to safeguard your crypto. In this edition, we explore the balance of design and security that makes Trezor unique, highlight recent developments, and celebrate moments that connect and grow our community. Plus, Adam Budinsky, our Head of Hardware, has a special message about the philosophy guiding our product design.

Over to you, Adam

Hi there,

Adam here, Head of Hardware at Trezor.

Designing hardware is about more than just creating devices. It’s about giving you the power to secure your financial independence and privacy with confidence, without a second thought. From the start, my team and I have been focused on one goal: building products that balance simplicity and security, so you can manage your crypto with ease.

At Trezor, we’re committed to more than just building for today. Our mission is to design tools that prioritize security, privacy, and usability, empowering you to maintain full control of your crypto for the long term. Because we’re open source, it’s not about asking for your trust — it’s about providing transparency, giving you the ability to verify and audit your security at every step.

Personally, I’m inspired every day by the challenge of making complex technology simple and empowering. Knowing that the products we create help people like you safeguard your financial freedom is what drives us forward.

Thank you for being part of this journey. We’ll continue to build on this foundation, ensuring that your digital freedom is secure for the future.

Head of Product (Hardware) at Trezor

In October, we showcased our Trezor Safe 5 and Trezor Expert service at ETHMilan 2024, Italy’s largest Ethereum and Web3 conference. It was the perfect place to exchange ideas with global blockchain enthusiasts and highlight what sets Trezor apart. Who knows — you might see us at an event near you soon!

Back in Cologne, we engaged with the German-speaking crypto community at the BlockTrainer Community Event. We introduced new features like the Smart Trading Engine and gained valuable feedback. Events like these are vital in shaping our future and strengthening our bond with the community.

When we’re not working on new innovations, we’re building connections that fuel our mission. Our team recently enjoyed a memorable surf trip to Portugal, where we blended adventure, relaxation, and camaraderie. Days were spent catching waves, while evenings were for stories, laughter, and reflection at the cozy Captain’s Log.

Closer to home, our business team came together for a three-day bonding retreat filled with frisbee matches, campfire conversations, and countless moments that strengthened our shared vision. Teamwork drives our success — and this was a powerful reminder of that.

The Trezor Safe 3 continues to impress with its simplicity, security, and ease of use. Over a year on the market, it’s still winning over users, and your stories motivate us every day.

Here’s what some of you had to say:

“Great design, easy set up, good price.” — Edmund

“I highly recommend this wallet for ease-of-use and top-of-the-line security.” — Frank Curtis

“It’s literally perfect for my needs. Simple to set up, simple to use.” — Jonathan Laliberte
