what it is
The original hardware wallet. Fully open source - hardware and firmware - with the longest track record in the game. Ships an official bitcoin-only firmware that strips out every altcoin code path.
in the field
The friendliest onboarding in hardware. This is the device to hand someone you're pulling into self-custody: the screens make sense on day one, and it grows with them straight into Sparrow when they graduate to their own node.
the fine print
Flash the bitcoin-only firmware, always. Set a passphrase. Prefer the newer Safe models, and buy direct from Trezor.
verdict
The veteran that stayed honest. The best first device in the stack.
