Hardware wallet provider Trezor has added a new feature to its Trezor Suite app to protect users from blockchain tricks that raise fees or ruin trades on Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and Base networks.
On Wednesday, Trezor introduced MEV Protection in its app to stop bots from manipulating blockchain transactions. These bots reorder trades to charge extra fees or make unfavorable deals, like front-running or sandwich attacks, which often cause higher costs or failed transactions for regular users on decentralized networks.
Trezor uses Merkle.io’s backend to keep transactions hidden from bots until they’re completed. This helps prevent sudden price swings during token swaps, avoids failed transfers, and delivers more consistent results, all automatically within the Trezor Suite.
Lauri Hänninen, Trezor’s product marketing lead, described the addition as a step toward reducing real-world friction in crypto management. He noted that MEV Protection is part of the Trezor Suite’s ongoing improvements.
Trezor Enhances Suite with MEV Protection
Trezor, founded in 2013, was one of the first companies to make secure hardware wallets for Bitcoin, giving users full control over their crypto. Today, it supports a wide range of digital currencies.
Part of SatoshiLabs, which focuses on bitcoin and crypto tools, Trezor launched Trezor Academy in 2024 to teach beginners how to safely manage risks in the crypto world.
Trezor’s new feature launch happens as DeFi platforms face criticism for bot-related issues that undermine user trust. No plans were shared for adding it to other blockchains, but Trezor says it builds on earlier security improvements in the Suite app.
Trezor is making it easier and safer for people to manage their digital assets. The company is focused on building trust and giving users a smoother experience in the fast-moving DeFi world.
As part of this push, on August 22, 2025, Trezor added WalletConnect support to its Trezor Suite app, letting users connect with other platforms and apps more seamlessly. It’s a small but meaningful step toward making DeFi a bit more user-friendly and reliable.
