Trezor Integrates HyperEVM Network Support
Hardware wallet manufacturer Trezor has announced the integration of HyperEVM network support in its devices, allowing users to manage HYPE and other HyperEVM assets while keeping their private keys offline, with device-side verification for each transaction.
Trezor Suite now natively supports HyperEVM, which serves as the smart contract layer for Hyperliquid, based on the same HyperBFT consensus and inheriting the mainnet's security. Users can enable the network in settings to add HyperEVM accounts, view HYPE balances, tokens, and transaction history, and send and receive HYPE and supported tokens.
Hyperliquid features both HyperCore and HyperEVM execution engines, but Trezor only supports the latter. HYPE held on HyperCore will not be displayed in the Suite and must first be transferred to HyperEVM within the Hyperliquid app. Safety Checks can remain in Strict mode without lowering security levels.
Current limitations include the non-display of NFTs on HyperEVM and the lack of Blockaid transaction simulation previews. Firmware and Suite updates cover multiple Trezor device models, using standard Ethereum derivation paths and chain ID 999.
This integration provides hardware-level private key isolation and transaction confirmation for the Hyperliquid ecosystem, reducing the risks associated with hot wallet interactions in smart contracts.
From a market mechanism perspective, user assets are flowing from hot wallets or exchanges to hardware device custody, with a preference for secure infrastructure capable of offline signing; the event is driven by ecosystem expansion, benefiting hardware wallet manufacturers that support the emerging L1 smart contract layer, while hot wallets and non-native supported devices face relative pressure.

Trezor, as an early hardware wallet manufacturer, has long focused on open-source firmware and strict offline signing. It has gradually expanded support for Ethereum-compatible chains, and this direct integration for HyperEVM continues its coverage path in emerging high-performance chains, avoiding user reliance on third-party interfaces that lower security levels.
In terms of capital pathways, Trezor is directing resources towards user demand for highly active trading chains through Suite software updates and firmware compatibility, motivated by capturing the secure custody share of Hyperliquid trading and smart contract users. Specific actions include adding chain ID 999 configuration and RPC support, allowing device-side transaction verification.
Similar cases can be seen with hardware wallets like Ledger following mainstream L2 and emerging EVM chains, as well as early differentiated support for non-EVM chains like Solana; the current hardware wallet industry is in a phase of expanding from Bitcoin/Ethereum dominance to high-performance trading chains and smart contract layers.
Essentially, this represents a technological substitution: hardware offline signing replaces the exposure risks of hot wallets in complex smart contract interactions, with the mechanism being to fix private key control and transaction confirmation in a physical device, reducing reliance on software interfaces.

The moment the private key is offline, on-chain risks are truly isolated.
The explosion of new chains first requires a cold wallet capable of signing.
Supporting a new network equates to locking in a group of users unwilling to compromise on security.
