The new Trezor hardware wallet appears to be using the OPTIGA Trust M security chip.
It's an interesting choice, as it's closed source hardware that's powered by open source MIT-licensed software.
OPTIGA Trust M is better than the ATEC608 that's found in BitBox, Passport & Coldcard because:
– there's no NDA, the devs can report bugs to improve the security
– you can verify what the chip does & how it works.
However, it still isn't open source hardware. We'll have to wait for Tropic Square in 2025 to finally get that.
