Trezor

Trezor is a hardware wallet: a small device that keeps your keys offline, away from your computer and phone. SatoshiLabs in Prague makes it. Its first model came out in 2014. On Solana, a Trezor holds SOL and Solana tokens, and you can stake SOL in its free Trezor Suite app.

Solana works on the Safe 3, Safe 5, Safe 7 and the older Model T. The first model, the Model One, does not support Solana. Trezor's code is open source, which sets it apart from its main rival, Ledger. The catch is that some popular apps, such as Phantom CASH$1.000+0.0%, do not work with it directly.

How Trezor works with Solana

A Trezor creates your Solana keys on the device and never lets them leave it. When you send SOL, Trezor Suite on your computer or phone builds the transaction and passes it to the device. The device shows the details on its own screen, you confirm with a button or touch, and only the signed transaction comes back out.

This means malware on your computer can see your balances but cannot move your funds without the device in your hand. Your backup is a 12, 20 or 24-word recovery phrase, written down at setup. Anyone holding that phrase controls the wallet, which is why Trezor will never ask for it.

Trezor Suite is a desktop and mobile app. It shows SOL balances, sends and receives SOL and tokens, buys SOL through partner providers, and stakes SOL. The Safe 7 adds Bluetooth, so you can sign from the Suite mobile app on an iPhone or Android phone without a cable.

Which Trezor models support Solana

Four Trezor models support Solana: the Safe 3, Safe 5, Safe 7 and Model T. The Model One does not, and Trezor's Solana help page says it has no plans to add it. If you own a Model One, you need a newer device to hold SOL.

A secure element is a hard-to-crack chip. It makes life harder for a thief who has your device and tries to pull secrets out of it. The Model T has none, so it is the weakest of the four against physical attacks.

The Trezor Safe 7 came out on 21 October 2025 at $249, Decrypt reported. Its main chip, TROPIC01, has a published design that anyone can inspect. A second chip from another maker backs it up. The Safe 7 also checks its own updates with post-quantum signatures. Solana does not use those yet, so this guards the device, not your SOL.

Staking SOL in Trezor Suite with Everstake

You can stake SOL in Trezor Suite, on desktop or in the mobile app. Suite stakes your SOL with Everstake, Trezor's only staking partner on Solana. You need at least 1 SOL. You confirm every stake and unstake on the device.

Your SOL stays in your wallet. Everstake only gets the voting weight. Trezor's staking page says Everstake keeps 7% of your rewards as its fee, and nothing from the SOL you staked. Trezor quotes returns of up to 7% a year. To check that against the network-wide rate, see our live staking data.

Staking follows Solana's normal timing. New stake starts earning after about one epoch, which is roughly two days. Unstaking takes about one more epoch, after which you press Claim in Suite to move the SOL back to your spendable balance. Opening a stake account needs a small refundable deposit, called rent, which you get back when you unstake.

Trezor said on 24 September 2026 that more than 3 million SOL is staked through Trezor Suite.

The catch is choice. Suite offers one validator. If you want to pick your own validator, connect your Trezor to a third-party wallet such as Backpack, which lets you choose.

SPL tokens, Token-2022 and liquid staking tokens on Trezor

Trezor Suite supports SOL and SPL tokens, the standard token format on Solana. The January 2025 Suite update added Token-2022, Solana's newer token standard, so many more tokens now show up and can be sent from Suite.

Liquid staking tokens work too. If you hold JitoSOL or mSOL, you can send them to your Trezor address and they keep earning, because the reward is built into the token's value. Trezor's token guide confirms this.

NFTs are a weak spot. Trezor's Solana documentation does not list NFT support in Suite, so you would view and manage them through a connected wallet such as Backpack.

Trezor first added Solana and SPL tokens on 20 December 2023, as The Block reported.

Using Trezor with Phantom, Backpack and Solana dApps

Phantom does not work with Trezor. Phantom's help centre lists Ledger as the only hardware wallet it supports. To use a Trezor with Solana apps, you go through Backpack, NuFi or WalletConnect.

Backpack works with a Trezor through its Chrome extension. It opens a separate popup for signing, and it lets you stake SOL with a validator you choose. On the Model One, Backpack pairs for Ethereum only.

NuFi is a browser wallet. It links your Trezor to most Solana apps.

WalletConnect in Trezor Suite links Suite to apps on many chains, Solana included. You check every action on the device.

New Solana features can reach Trezor late. Backpack added Solana's new, larger v1 transactions on 2 October 2026. Trezor had not yet announced support.

Who a Trezor wallet suits for SOL

A Trezor suits Solana holders who want their SOL and tokens offline and who mostly hold, stake and occasionally send. If you keep a meaningful amount of SOL, stake at least 1 SOL, and value open-source firmware, Trezor Suite covers what you need without a browser extension.

It suits active DeFi traders less well. You cannot pair it with Phantom, and every dApp session goes through Backpack, NuFi or WalletConnect, which adds steps. If you trade memecoins daily or mint NFTs, a hot wallet for small sums plus a Trezor for savings is a common split.

Choose the Safe 3, 5 or 7 over a second-hand Model T. The Model T has no secure element. If you need Bluetooth or plan to sign from your phone, the Safe 7 is the only Trezor that offers it.

Is Trezor safe? Security risks, breaches and the TROPIC01 flaw

A Trezor is a safe place to hold SOL, but it has known weak spots. The known attacks on the devices need the thief to have the device in hand. The bigger day-to-day risks are scam emails and leaked customer data. Trezor warns that fake sites, some in paid search ads, try to trick you into typing in your recovery phrase.

Physical attacks. In 2020, Kraken Security Labs showed it could pull the encrypted seed from a Model One or Model T in about 15 minutes with physical access. A firmware update cannot fix this. A passphrase, an extra secret word that is never stored on the device, defeats it.

The TROPIC01 flaw. On 3 June 2026, Trezor and chipmaker Tropic Square disclosed a flaw in the Safe 7's TROPIC01 chip. It came to light after a review by Ledger's Donjon security team. The attack needs the device in hand, taken apart, and lab gear. Trezor says it cannot reach your PIN, funds or recovery phrase. It also says no update can fix it, because the flaw is in the chip itself.

Customer data leaks. In August 2026, a breach at shipping firm ShipMonk leaked the names, addresses and phone numbers of about 14,000 recent buyers, BleepingComputer reported. On 4 September 2026, Trezor said 67,000 more US buyers from 2019 to 2021 were hit, per The Hacker News. ShipMonk had said it deleted that data. No devices, seeds or funds were exposed. But a leaked home address makes you a target for scams and worse.

Phishing from a real Trezor address. On 9 September 2026, attackers who breached Trezor's email marketing provider sent a fake "STM32 Entropy Vulnerability" alert from Trezor's own domain, CryptoTimes reported. Trezor took the phishing site down. The lesson holds for every hardware wallet: no genuine alert ever asks for your recovery phrase.

Single-validator staking. Staking in Suite puts your stake with Everstake. You keep custody, but your rewards depend on that one operator's performance and commission.

Trezor vs Ledger for Solana

Ledger is easier if you use Solana apps every day. Trezor is easier to trust, because you can read its code. A Ledger plugs straight into Phantom and Solflare. A Trezor needs Backpack, NuFi or WalletConnect in between. Trezor's code is open source. Ledger keeps the code on its secure chip closed.

Both brands stake SOL in their own apps and both hold Solana tokens. With the Safe 7, Trezor's openness reaches the secure chip too, since its design is public.

Pick Trezor if you mostly hold and stake, and open code matters to you. Pick Ledger if you want your hardware wallet inside Phantom or Solflare every day.

Alternatives to staking SOL through Trezor Suite

Trezor Suite stakes only with Everstake. To use a different validator, link your Trezor to Backpack and pick one there. Or hold a liquid staking token such as JitoSOL on the device.

Solana Compass runs its own validator, so we are not neutral here. You can compare validators by fee and uptime before you pick one. You can also see the staking options Solana Compass offers.

SatoshiLabs: the company behind Trezor

SatoshiLabs was founded in Prague in 2013 by Marek Palatinus and Pavol Rusnák. Its first device, now called the Model One, shipped in 2014. Trezor calls it the first hardware wallet. Matěj Žák is Trezor's chief executive.

Trezor has no token. Its products are its devices, the free Trezor Suite app, and services inside Suite such as buying crypto and staking. Its firmware and Suite code are published on GitHub, and it runs a public bug bounty programme.
