SatoshiLabs is a Czech Republic-based Bitcoin and cryptocurrency company founded in 2013 by Marek Palatinus (known as "slush") and Pavol Rusnak. The company is best known as the creator of Trezor, the world's first commercially available hardware wallet for Bitcoin. SatoshiLabs has been a pioneer in cryptocurrency security, building open-source tools that have become foundational to the industry.
The Trezor hardware wallet line includes the Trezor Model One, Trezor Model T, and the Trezor Safe series. These devices store private keys offline on a dedicated secure chip, protecting cryptocurrency holdings from malware, phishing, and remote attacks. Trezor wallets support Bitcoin and thousands of other cryptocurrencies, and integrate with popular software wallets like Electrum and Exodus. All Trezor firmware and software is open source.
Beyond Trezor, SatoshiLabs created Braiins Pool (formerly Slush Pool), the world's first Bitcoin mining pool, launched in 2010. The company also built Coinmap, a global directory of merchants accepting Bitcoin, and has contributed to open standards including SLIP-39 (Shamir Backup) for seed phrase splitting. SatoshiLabs continues to focus on Bitcoin security, privacy, and open-source development.
