Fully wireless hardware wallet introduces the world’s first auditable secure element and quantum-ready architecture for next-generation protection
Trezor, the original hardware wallet company, has launched Trezor Safe 7, a new-generation hardware wallet that introduces several industry firsts: a fully auditable secure element (TROPIC01), and a quantum-ready architecture. It also features seamless mobile connectivity, making it easier than ever to manage crypto securely from anywhere.
With a vibrant color touchscreen, anodized aluminum unibody, and open-source firmware, Trezor Safe 7 is built to offer transparent, long-term self-custody without compromising on usability or design.
First Transparent Secure Element
At the core of the device is TROPIC01, the world’s first transparent and auditable secure element. Unlike conventional secure elements that rely on undisclosed architecture, TROPIC01 allows the community to inspect, verify, and validate its design. This approach addresses a long-standing issue in crypto security: the need to trust proprietary hardware without insight into how it works.
Quantum-ready Architecture
Trezor Safe 7 is also designed with the future in mind. Its quantum-ready architecture means the device supports quantum-secure updates, ensuring the device’s integrity and trustworthiness over time. When networks transition to post-quantum security, hardware wallets will remain compatible and continue to function without requiring replacement.
“Security has always been the foundation of everything we do at Trezor. With Trezor Safe 7, we’re introducing TROPIC01, the world’s first transparent and auditable secure element. It sets a new standard for both security and transparency in hardware wallets. For years, I believed quantum computers belonged to science fiction, but the pace of innovation is changing that. Within the next decade, Bitcoin and other blockchains will have to move to post-quantum algorithms. It’s not a question of if, but when. That’s why we built a quantum-ready bootloader into Safe 7. When the time comes, your device can be safely updated, even in a future where quantum computers pose a threat. Combining this quantum-readiness with TROPIC01 sets a new standard for open, future-proof security. For us, it’s always about protecting digital freedom with tools that are secure, usable, and transparent.” added Tomáš Sušanka, CTO at Trezor.
Security Without Compromise
Trezor Safe 7 applies a layered approach to secure crypto storage. It features dual secure elements — the transparent and auditable TROPIC01 chip and NDA-free EAL6+ secondary element — ensuring physical and cryptographic protection. Private keys are kept completely isolated from the host system, while all sensitive actions must be physically confirmed on a 2.5” high-resolution color LCD touchscreen.
“At a time when convenience is pulling users toward custodians and ETFs, we believe it’s more important than ever to reinforce what self-custody really means — full control, without compromise,” said Matěj Žák, CEO at Trezor. “Trezor Safe 7 is our answer: the first hardware wallet with a fully auditable secure element, dual-chip architecture, and wireless design built for the long term. It reflects everything we stand for — transparency, usability, and trust that doesn’t ask for permission. With this device, we’re making the safest option also the most intuitive, and raising the bar for what users should expect from crypto security.”
Designed for Modern Usability
Trezor Safe 7 supports Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE), magnetic Qi2-compatible wireless charging, and features a high-resolution color touchscreen. Bluetooth communication is secured via Trezor Host Protocol (THP), an open-source layer that ensures encrypted, authenticated, and private connections across mobile, desktop, and tablet. These hardware choices are paired with a robust aluminum unibody and Gorilla Glass protection, offering a seamless experience across mobile and desktop environments.
Through the Trezor Suite platform, users can manage thousands of coins and tokens, trade, stake, and access third-party integrations — all in one interface.
Trezor introduced the Safe 7 during a live event in Prague called Trustless by Design (TBD), giving the crypto community a first look at its new flagship. A full recording of the launch is available on the official Trezor YouTube channel.
Engineered for Resilience
Trezor Safe 7 features a durable aluminum unibody, Gorilla Glass 3 display, IP54 resistant against dust and splashes, and a long-lasting LiFePO4 battery that delivers 4× more charging cycles than standard lithium batteries. A Bitcoin-only version is also available, designed for users who prefer a focused, bitcoin-only experience.
Trezor Safe 7 is priced at $249 (€249). The Charcoal Black and Bitcoin-only versions are now available for pre-order via the official Trezor e-shop, with Obsidian Green coming soon.
Shipping is expected to begin in four weeks. A full range of dedicated accessories is also available, including a Magnetic Qi2-certified Wireless Charger (free gift for preorders), a form-fitting vegan leather Case for Trezor Safe 7, a Trezor Universal Case for secure storage of any Trezor model, a Privacy Screen Protector with a 28° viewing filter, and a durable braided USB-C charging cable.
About Trezor
Trezor is the original bitcoin hardware wallet company, founded in 2013. It pioneered the development of self-custody for crypto assets, empowering individuals with an open-source device that enables secure and independent storage of cryptocurrencies.
Trezor has expanded to offer a range of hardware and software products that enhance user security, from crypto novices to experts. In 2023, the company launched Trezor Academy, an initiative aimed at educating grassroots communities about safe participation in the crypto ecosystem.

Decentralized trading platform Aster announced today the debut of its new initiative, Rocket Launch, designed to accelerate early-stage projects by driving liquidity and trading activity, while giving users early access to emerging on-chain opportunities.
Aster Rocket Launch aims to transform token launches from one-time market events into a continuous journey — from alpha discovery to trading activation and sustained growth. Participants can join by trading designated token pairs, with rewards distributed proportionally based on their trading volume share.
Empowering Users Through Participation and Holding
Each Rocket Launch campaign features a reward pool composed of both $ASTER tokens and the participating project’s native tokens. Projects joining Rocket Launch contribute funds and project tokens, which Aster uses to buy back $ASTER. The repurchased tokens, together with the contributed project tokens, form the campaign’s reward pool distributed to Aster users through trading activities.
To participate, users are required to hold a certain amount of $ASTER to qualify for the campaign. For long-term users, holding $ASTER represents more than an investment, it’s a way to engage with on-chain innovation and gain early exposure to new opportunities.
This mechanism creates a virtuous cycle among projects, the platform, and the users, reflecting Aster’s commitment to building a sustainable and mutually beneficial ecosystem.
Liquidity, Users, and Growth — The Engine Behind Aster
Aster now counts over 4.6 million users, with its native token $ASTER surpassing $452 million in Spot trading volume on the first day of trading. With direct access to deep liquidity, an active trading community, and robust on-chain infrastructure, Aster provides a strong launch environment that can drive a sustainable user and revenue growth for its partners.
Rocket Launch further showcases Aster’s unique position as one of the few DEXs that offer both Spot and Perpetual markets. By combining token listings and trading competitions across both markets, Aster creates a mutually beneficial ecosystem for projects, traders, and token holders. Projects gain visibility and trading activity; traders gain early access to on-chain opportunities and rewards; Aster strengthens its platform through high-potential listings and trading volume, while ASTER holders can benefit from continuous buybacks and long-term value growth.
From Trading Depth to Ecosystem Growth
Aster believes that the next phase of growth in DeFi will not be defined solely by fees, liquidity depth, or leverage, but by the ability to discover and capture early on-chain investment opportunities.
The introduction of Rocket Launch reflects this vision, enabling professional traders to access emerging projects at the earliest stage, allowing high-quality teams to be discovered, traded, and validated by the market.
“Aster is not just a platform where users execute trades, it’s where high quality assets can be efficiently priced,” said Leonard, CEO of Aster. “Rocket Launch brings market attention to promising trends faster, allowing projects to be recognized by the market and valued effectively through real trading activity.”
With APRO leading the inaugural launch, Aster is steadily establishing itself as a launch platform that provides liquidity for early-stage projects.
APRO ($AT): A Trusted Oracle for the Multi-Chain Era
The first Rocket Launch campaign features APRO, a professional oracle delivering verifiable data across cutting-edge ecosystems (RWA, AI & DeFi), purpose-built to be 100% startup-friendly, and validated by proven PMF and a strong team.
Aster has partnered with APRO to launch the first Rocket Launch campaign. The event features a total reward pool of $200,000 in $ASTER, alongside an additional prize pool in $AT. The campaign will run from 12:00 UTC on October 24 to 23:59 UTC on November 6, 2025.
About APRO
APRO is the premier AI-enhanced oracle, built for next-gen ecosystems like RWA, AI, Prediction Markets, and DeFi. It delivers the market’s most extensive data coverage for both standard and non-standard assets—from crypto and stocks to real-world items.

More information is available at the official APRO website or through APRO’s account on X.
About Aster
Aster is a next-generation decentralized exchange offering both Perpetual and Spot trading, designed as a one-stop onchain venue for global crypto traders. It features MEV-free, one-click execution in 1001x Mode. Perpetual Mode adds 24/7 stock Perpetuals, Hidden Orders, and grid trading, available across BNB Chain, Ethereum, Solana, and Arbitrum.
Its unique edge lies in the ability to use liquid-staking tokens (asBNB) or yield-generating stablecoins (USDF) as collateral, unlocking unparalleled capital efficiency. Backed by YZi Labs, Aster is building the future of DeFi: fast, flexible, and community-first.

Reflecting its evolution into a global builder of next-generation data center infrastructure powering Bitcoin and, in the future, AI computation
TRENTO, Italy, Oct. 22, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Alps Blockchain, a European leader in digital infrastructure and Bitcoin mining, today announced its forthcoming corporate rebranding to Alps, marking a new chapter in its growth as a fully integrated infrastructure company.
The rebranding underscores Alps’ transformation from a pioneering Bitcoin mining operator into a vertically integrated builder and manager of advanced data centers, capable of converting energy into digital computation – from Bitcoin mining with ASIC systems to, in the future, high-performance computing (HPC) for artificial intelligence.
“This rebrand reflects what Alps has become,” said Francesco Buffa, CEO and Co-Founder of Alps. “We are no longer only a blockchain company – we are an infrastructure company. We design, build, and operate high-efficiency data centers from the ground up, turning energy into the computational power that fuels the digital economy.”
“From a financial perspective, producing computational power for the Bitcoin network has always provided – and continues to provide – a constant and unprecedented cash flow in the digital infrastructure industry,” added Francesca Failoni, CFO and Co-Founder of Alps. “This solid foundation allows us to plan with a long-term view and to strategically integrate new applications such as AI computing within our existing infrastructure.”
Since its founding in 2018, Alps has developed and managed modular, energy-efficient data centers in Italy, Paraguay, Ecuador, Oman, and the United States, with infrastructure and energy contracts already in place to reach 15 EH/s of computing power in the near future, equivalent to roughly 1.5% of the global Bitcoin hash rate.
Alps controls and operates over 250 MW of installed or ready-to-deploy capacity, boasting an industry-leading energy efficiency of 15.4 J/TH, among the best worldwide. The company continues to pursue an ambitious expansion plan toward 2029.
The transition to Alps better represents this expanded mission and positions the company as a key player in the emerging intersection between energy and digital infrastructure. Alps integrates the full value chain – from site development and electrical engineering to containerized data center fabrication and on-site operations – enabling scalable and sustainable deployment worldwide.
The company’s legal structure, shareholder composition, and ongoing projects remain unchanged.
About Alps
Alps is a digital infrastructure company that designs, builds, and manages modular, energy-efficient data centers that transform energy into computation. Through its global network of sites, Alps produces computing power for Bitcoin mining and is preparing to expand into high-performance computing applications. Founded in Trento in 2018, Alps operates across Europe, the Middle East, and the Americas.

The update coincides with a broader market recovery marked by renewed liquidity and investor participation across major digital assets.
Crypto Market Recovers as Liquidity Returns
After several days of volatility, the global crypto market has shown signs of recovery. The total market capitalization increased by over 4% in the past 24 hours, reaching $3.76 trillion.

Limitless Exchange, the fastest-growing prediction market platform, has announced the close of a $10M seed round, led by 1confirmation with participation from Collider, F-Prime, DCG, Coinbase Ventures, Node Capital, and Arrington Capital.
The raise follows Limitless’ strong momentum, as the platform recently surpassed $500M in total trading volume, cementing its position as the largest prediction market on Base.
Flyer One Ventures and SID Venture Partners previously joined Limitless’ strategic round, further strengthening the platform’s investor base.
Significant Growth Ahead of Token Generation Event
Limitless’ growth trajectory underscores the strength of its market model and accessibility: trading volume grew 25x between August and September, and by mid-October the platform had already processed $100M+ in notional trading volume — surpassing September’s totals in just half the time.
In September, Limitless ran a Kaito Launchpad sale event that drew overwhelming demand, with more than $200M in allocation requests for a $1M raise. The record-setting oversubscription was a clear signal of market appetite and added further momentum ahead of the LMTS token launch.
This rapid acceleration shows how Limitless is capturing both crypto-native and casual traders by removing traditional barriers to trading and making prediction markets a mainstream tool.
The Simplest Way to Trade Crypto & Stocks
Limitless has already become the easiest possible way to trade crypto and stocks on fast markets. In just one minute, users can enter 30- or 60-minute markets, benefit from instant resolutions, and trade without liquidation risks or hidden fees. This blend of speed and simplicity positions Limitless as a gateway for casual users while offering meaningful leverage and opportunities for advanced traders.
The new round of funding will enable Limitless to accelerate product development, expanding the range of markets to even shorter timeframes, such as 15-, 10-, and 1-minute markets. The company also plans to scale user acquisition initiatives and is exploring licensing opportunities in relevant jurisdictions to ensure sustainable global growth. Together, these initiatives strengthen Limitless’ position as a unique product at the intersection of finance and prediction markets.
“We’re grateful for the continued support of our early investors who are doubling — and in some cases tripling — down, and excited to welcome more industry heavyweights to the cap table, such as F-Prime, DCG, and Arrington Capital, ahead of the LMTS token launch.
What’s most exciting is our investors and early users already recognize how Limitless is the simplest way in the world to get access to high leverage trading. Prediction markets are going mainstream and transforming into a new multi-trillion dollar derivatives category. The future is Limitless.”, said CJ Hetherington, CEO at Limitless Labs.
About Limitless.Exchange

Whale.io, an online casino and sportsbook platform, has announced the launch of Crock Dentist, a new addition to its Whale Originals game series. This release marks the first time the classic game, known for its engaging tooth-pulling mechanics, has been adapted as an original online casino title. Alongside the game, Whale.io is minting 1,000 Crock Dentist NFTs, available on its platform, providing holders with access to airdrop rewards tied to the game’s performance. These digital collectibles are designed to connect in-game assets with real-world value, aligning with the broader Real World Asset (RWA) integration trend in gaming and blockchain.
Crock Dentist: A New Whale Original
Crock Dentist reimagines the traditional game as a digital casino experience, combining familiar gameplay with randomized outcomes and modern graphics. As part of the Whale Originals portfolio, it is designed to deliver a seamless and entertaining experience for players. The game operates with a 97% Return to Player (RTP), meaning 3% of each wager contributes to a house edge, which is redistributed to the holders through an airdrop system.
Crock Dentist NFTs: Minting, Earning, Trading
Whale.io’s Crock Dentist NFTs introduce a novel way for players to engage with the platform’s ecosystem. The NFTs, limited to a supply of 1,000, can be minted directly on Whale.io’s website. Key features include:
- Minting: Users can acquire a Crock Dentist NFT to participate in the platform’s reward system.
- Earning: Each NFT entitles holders to 0.1% of airdrops funded by the game’s 3% house edge. Airdrops are distributed in $WHALE, the platform’s native token, at random intervals..
- Trading: NFT holders can retain their assets to receive ongoing airdrops or trade them on secondary markets, based on their preferences.
The first weekend was an exclusive mint for Battlepass owners. It has been said that the public mint will open up for the public on Tuesday. Each user can mint up to 5 Crock NFTs and the mint price will increase daily until all 1000 NFTs are sold out. The airdrop pool grows with every spin played in Crock Dentist, creating a direct link between game activity and NFT holder rewards. Based on previous Whale Originals releases, the game performance is expected to grow consistently which translates to bigger airdrops for the NFT holders.
Transparency and Accessibility
Whale.io emphasizes transparency by maintaining publicly accessible wallet on its site:
- Royalty Wallet: Finding all the info related to aftermarket transactions, buybacks, collection royalty and airdrops from the blockchain.
This approach ensures users can verify all activities on the blockchain, fostering trust and accountability. Airdrops are automatically sent to NFT holders’ wallets, requiring no additional actions beyond minting and holding.
Integration with $WHALE Token
The $WHALE token serves as the native currency within Whale.io’s ecosystem. Currently, users can utilize $WHALE to play games, purchase battle passes, or stake for additional benefits. With the upcoming Token Generation Event (TGE), the platform plans to introduce further utilities, enhancing the token’s role across its offerings. The launch of Crock Dentist and its NFT collection arrives as Whale.io prepares for its $WHALE TGE, a milestone that will expand the platform’s ecosystem. By minting Crock Dentist NFTs, users can join the community early and participate in the evolving reward structure. The limited supply of 1,000 NFTs underscores the exclusivity of this opportunity.

Crock Dentist is now live on Whale.io, with NFT minting open to all users.

Industry-leading execution delivers 34x better MEV protection, positive slippage, and 8-10x lower fees
Jupiter, the leading liquidity aggregator on Solana, today announced the launch of Ultra V3, the most comprehensive trading engine in DeFi, featuring three exclusive technologies: Iris router, ShadowLane transaction landing, and Predictive Execution.
Ultra V3 delivers unprecedented value across three critical dimensions.
- Competitive Pricing through meta aggregation with Iris, Jupiter’s new exclusive router that achieves 100x performance improvements using advanced algorithms like Golden-section and Brent’s method.
- Optimized Trade Execution via ShadowLane, Jupiter’s proprietary transaction landing engine that reduces latency from 1-3 blocks down to 0-1 block, combined with Predictive Execution that intelligently prioritizes routes based on actual on-chain conditions rather than theoretical quotes.
- Enhanced Protection through industry-leading sandwich defense and the most advanced slippage estimation in DeFi.
These architectural improvements translate into measurable results for users:
- 34-fold increase in sandwich protection compared to other top 5 trading terminals
- 0.6bps Average Positive Slippage Compared with −1bps to −14bps on Other Platforms
- Execution Fees 8–10 Times Lower Than Comparable Platforms
“Most platforms show you optimistic quotes that don’t reflect on-chain reality,” said Siong, cofounder of Jupiter. “Ultra V3’s Predictive Execution gives you what you actually get at execution, not what looked good at quotation. Every swap lands exactly as promised – executed in the best way possible, at the best price, every time.”
Exclusive Technologies Behind Ultra V3
Iris Router – Jupiter’s new routing engine, exclusive to Ultra enables splits as precise as 0.01% and leverages sophisticated optimization algorithms. Combined with JupiterZ, Jupiter’s proprietary RFQ system facilitating ~$100M in daily zero-slippage volume, and meta aggregation across DFlow, Hashflow, and OKX, Ultra ensures users receive the most competitive price.
ShadowLane – Jupiter’s entirely new in-house transaction landing engine achieves sub-second precision while maintaining complete privacy. With no external relays or order-flow sales, ShadowLane lands 3x more trades than alternative premium methods. Built by Jupiter’s newly formed RPC team led by Italo Casas with contributors to Yellowstone-gRPC, NFT DAS API, Lite-RPC, and Agave, ShadowLane represents a massive infrastructure advancement for Solana trading.
Predictive Execution – Rather than showing theoretical quotes, Predictive Execution performs just-in-time simulations for every route, accurately predicts potential slippage, and intelligently prioritizes routes for optimal outcomes. The system includes Ultra Signaling, which enables Prop AMMs to quote up to 3bps tighter (50% better pricing) for verified non-toxic Jupiter Ultra users versus toxic flow like arbitrage bots.
Real-Time Slippage Estimator (RTSE) – Developed over two years, RTSE automatically sets optimal slippage parameters by analyzing volume, historical volatility, and transaction patterns. Version 3 introduces reduced slippage settings while maintaining high success rates, automatic prioritization of slippage-protected routes, and increased volatility sensitivity for historically volatile tokens.
Enhanced MEV Protection Efficiency
While other providers increase sandwich attack risk by selling order flow to third-party MEV searchers, Ultra V3 does the opposite. By ensuring trades are never handed off to external providers for on-chain execution, Ultra minimizes exposure to toxic MEV. Though risk isn’t zero since validators still broadcast to chain leaders, Ultra brings it as close to zero as technically possible.
Enhanced Feature Set
Ultra V3 includes numerous improvements for edge cases that matter to real traders:
Enhanced Gasless Support – Expanded to Token-2022 and memecoin-to-memecoin pairs with minimum trade sizes as low as $10. Anyone with any asset can now trade without holding SOL for gas.
Just-In-Time Market Revival – Ultra V3 routes every token on Solana, including dead and forgotten markets, with no minimum liquidity threshold. The system dynamically re-indexes on demand, providing complete ecosystem coverage unavailable on legacy routers.
Native Integration – Ultra V3 powers Jupiter’s three world-class interfaces: Web, which holds their full DeFi suite, Mobile, providing an enhanced mobile trading experience with native portfolio and PnL, and Desktop Wallet, Jupiter’s advanced browser extension with gasless trading and 10x lower fees. The same engine delivers consistent, seamless execution across all surfaces.
Pro Tools Integration – Ultra V3 is deeply integrated with Jupiter’s professional trading suite including Terminal (token metrics command center), Screener (market discovery), Portfolio + PnL (total visibility), Alphascan (trending tokens and insights), and Analytics (transaction and trader data).
Ultra API for Developers
Developers can now access the same infrastructure powering Jupiter through Ultra API, with endpoints for balances, token search, and transfers. Jupiter handles all RPC complexity and infrastructure maintenance, allowing developers to focus on building applications while Jupiter manages execution.
Transition from Legacy Jupiter
Jupiter will focus development efforts on Ultra V3 and the new Iris router going forward. The company is rolling out Ultra API to provide partners with access to optimized routing solutions. and transaction landing infrastructure. Many meta routers currently using the sunsetted Jupiter Legacy API (Metis) will transition to Ultra API. Jupiter requests that platforms using Legacy API correctly label their integration to avoid misleading users about pricing sources.
