Mar 1, 2026

In March 2026, trezor-firmware delivered targeted Ethereum signing enhancements, improved ERC-20 verification, and data formatting improvements that boost security, interoperability, and UX. Key features were implemented to support non-standard pool data formats, secure ERC-20 transfer verification, and clearer handling of token/native currency amounts, while refining the signing workflow with chunk-based constraints and data-size safeguards. The work reduces signing errors, enhances compatibility with evolving DeFi data formats, and aligns with the project’s focus on robust, auditable signing paths. Major refactors and cleanups were performed to simplify the Ethereum signing surface by removing 1inch support, allowing the team to focus on core capabilities and reliability. Technologies demonstrated include RawBytesFormatter integration, SLIP-24 verification, native currency token formatting, 4KB data chunk handling, and first-chunk clear signing controls, all backed by fixture updates and tests.
