SatoshiLabs Group | The Company

SatoshiLabs, a technology company based in Prague, is the pioneering force behind Trezor — the world’s first widely used hardware wallet. The journey began in 2011 when co-founders Pavol “Stick” Rusnák and Marek “Slush” Palatinus met in a Prague hackerspace, driven by a shared belief in self-custody and open-source security.

About SatoshiLabs

Innovating Since 2013 | Designing Security In The Open World Always

By 2013, they had founded Trezor under SatoshiLabs, releasing the Trezor One in 2014 as the pioneering hardware wallet designed to give users true self-custody over their digital assets. Moving forward to today, Trezor’s hardware lineup has evolved significantly.  Modern devices, like the Safe 3, Safe 5 leverageEAL6+ certified secure elements and Safe 7 include the open, auditableTROPIC01 chip developed by Tropic Square (a SatoshiLabs company). These advancements ensure quantum-ready architecture and tamper-resistant designs, making Trezor wallets not just tools for storage but essential guardians of personal wealth in an increasingly digital economy. SatoshiLabs Trezor ensures both physical robustness and transparent security.

Every Trezor product has been built on open-source software and firmware, reflecting SatoshiLabs’ commitment to trust, scrutiny, and global collaboration as it continues to grow its self-custody ecosystem.

From these modest origins, SatoshiLabs has expanded dramatically, growing to a team of over 250 dedicated experts and serving millions of users across the globe through innovations like the Trezor Suite app and educational initiatives such as Trezor Academy.

The company's unwavering commitment to open-source software and firmware has been central to its philosophy, enabling transparent code that the community can audit, contribute to, and verify for enhanced security and trust — this approach has fuelled contributions to key industry standards like BIP39 for mnemonic recovery seed phrases, BIP44 for hierarchical deterministic wallets, and SLIP39 for advanced backups.

SatoshiLabs Mission

Pushing Boundaries To Secure Individual Freedoms And Make Privacy Ubiquitous

At its core, SatoshiLabs is driven by a profound mission to defend the fundamental right to own property that Bitcoin embodies, empowering users to seize control of their financial independence and digital security in a world often lacking transactional freedom. By pioneering hardware and software solutions that prioritise self-custody and decentralisation, the company fights for self-sovereignty, further reinforced by their decision to refuse VC funding making cryptocurrency approachable and resilient while building inclusive ecosystems that protect privacy, innovate standards, and foster a just future where individuals can buy, sell, trade, and pay with unwavering confidence not just make profit.

We are cypherpunks who build and support open-source hardware and software.

Without the freedom to transact, we have no power to secure our rights. That's why we're here - to help you grab hold of your financial independence and digital security.
