Users can now swap, trade, and send crypto with confidence thanks to built-in protection against blockchain manipulators.
Prague, Czech Republic – September 24th – Trezor, the original crypto hardware wallet company, has announced the release of MEV Protection in Trezor Suite. This new feature shields users’ Ethereum, BNB Smart Chain, and Base transactions from bots and exploitative practices in addition to delivering smoother and more reliable experiences when sending or swapping crypto.
Understanding MEV and why protection matters
When making a blockchain transaction, users often face hidden risks. Bots and bad actors can manipulate transaction ordering resulting in higher fees, worse prices, or failed swaps. This practice, known as Maximal Extractable Value (MEV), undermines user confidence and can make crypto use unnecessarily stressful.
With MEV Protection now integrated directly into Trezor Suite, transactions are routed through secure and private channels — powered by infrastructure partner Merkle.io. This prevents front-running, sandwich attacks, and other exploitative behaviors, giving Trezor users more control and peace of mind.
How MEV Protection works inside Trezor Suite
The feature requires no additional configuration because it’s fully built into Trezor Suite’s transaction flow. By keeping transactions hidden from predatory bots, MEV Protection helps users achieve:
- Lower slippage when swapping tokens
- Fewer failed transactions
- Predictable and fair trade outcomes
“This launch reinforces Trezor’s dedication to providing secure, reliable, and seamless crypto experiences to our community,” said Lauri Hänninen Trezor’s Product Marketing Lead. “With MEV Protection integrated into Trezor Suite, our users can trade, swap and transact with greater confidence and control.”
The feature is part of Trezor Suite’s continuous product development, focused on delivering practical security improvements that directly address user needs.
