Trezor Cuts Gas Fees with 1inch Fusion—Hardware Wallets Just Got a DeFi Power-Up
Trezor’s latest move slashes Ethereum’s notorious gas fees by integrating 1inch Fusion—now users can swap tokens directly from cold storage without paying network costs. A middle finger to MetaMask’s premium pricing.
How it works: Fusion’s off-chain order matching meets Trezor’s ironclad security. No more choosing between safety and affordability—execute trustless swaps while your keys never leave the device.
The catch? You’ll still need ETH for approvals (old habits die hard in crypto). But for hodlers tired of being milked by mainnet, this might finally make DeFi feel less like a rigged casino.
Fusion Protocol in Action
The 1inch Fusion protocol enables users to execute token swaps at competitive rates without needing native tokens to cover gas fees. This removes a common barrier to decentralized trading while protecting users from malicious on-chain tactics such as sandwich attacks or frontrunning — especially valuable for larger transactions.
By integrating Fusion directly into Trezor Suite, users can now access nearly unlimited liquidity across multiple chains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Polygon, Arbitrum, Optimism, and Base. All swap transactions are fully secured by Trezor hardware, ensuring private keys remain offline and under the user’s full control throughout the process.
“At Trezor, we’re excited to integrate 1inch Fusion — a collaboration that aligns perfectly with our mission to empower individuals to self-custody their Bitcoin and crypto with tools that seamlessly balance security, privacy, and usability. By removing the need for native gas tokens and protecting users from MEV attacks, Fusion delivers frictionless, secure token swaps directly within the Trezor ecosystem.” — Danny Sanders, CCO at Trezor
“With the integration of the 1inch Swap API, the Trezor Suite users gain access to the most secure, efficient, and seamless DeFi experience available. Combining industry-best swap rates with hardware-grade protection, this partnership sets a new standard for what decentralized finance should look like.” – Sergej Kunz, 1inch Co-Founder
