How to Stake ETH via Trezor Safe 7: Guide for the new devices

Ethereum utilises a Proof-of-Stake (PoS) mechanism, enabling users to contribute to the network’s security by locking their ETH in a staking contract. Staking is a widely used method for supporting the protocol and receiving regular network rewards based on validator performance.

This guide explains how staking works through Trezor and walks you through each step of staking ETH via Trezor Suite using Everstake as the validator.

What Is Trezor?

Trezor is a hardware wallet designed to keep crypto assets secure by storing private keys offline. It offers a protected signing environment for all transactions, including staking operations.

Trezor Safe 7, the latest model

The newest model, Trezor Safe 7, introduces several upgrades:

• A larger and brighter touchscreen
• Dual secure elements, including TROPIC01, the world’s first transparent and auditable secure element.
• Bluetooth compatibility and a more intuitive interface

Other Trezor models

Trezor also offers other devices, such as Trezor Model T, Trezor Safe 5, and Trezor Safe 3, each with different security and interface options. All models support essential Ethereum operations, but Safe 7 provides the newest UX and hardware-level improvements.

Why Stake Ethereum?

Staking ETH plays a fundamental role in maintaining Ethereum’s PoS consensus. When you stake your ETH, it is temporarily locked and helps validate transactions and secure the network.

Key points:

• You support Ethereum’s network operations,
• Your ETH participates in validator duties,
• You receive protocol-level rewards generated by the PoS mechanism,
• Rewards are distributed regularly and restaked automatically when supported by the provider.

This guide focuses on staking via Trezor Suite, where Everstake operates the underlying validator infrastructure.
