Simplify crypto ownership for new users

Independence remains a fundamental value in the crypto sector. Intensifying concerns about centralization and evolving regulations have led to increased interest in safe and user-friendly solutions. Sebastien Gilquin, head of business development and partnerships at Trezor, the original creator of hardware wallets, offers deep insight into how their company drives adoption beyond early crypto enthusiasts.

Beincrypto interviewed Sebastien to explore a philosophy that strengthens strategies, regulatory approaches and visions focused on education for the future of independence at the time of rapid industry change. Sebastien spoke about Trezor’s efforts to balance simplicity and functionality, adapt to user needs, and remain true to core principles despite market and regulatory pressures.

Expanding the scope of independence and Tresol’s mission

Trezor is the company that created hardware wallets. Therefore, we are the first to create a hardware wallet and invent this concept. For example, I think the focus is to provide a more accessible product that is independent and more accessible. I think there are many initiatives in this. This is what is called the Trezor Academy, which focuses primarily on Africa, where it educates people there and independently.

We are also considering Trezor experts. During the meeting, I attended the booth. They are there to support newcomers beginning their own independent journeys and those seeking to explore more advanced and more advanced features.

We want to help people own their keys and assets while keeping their own independents amazing.

Balance of minimalism and function in wallet design

I think it also links to how you can attract early adopters of your product. So we try to keep everything open source, be transparent, accessible to everyone, see what the product has to offer, and give them the ability to build on top of the hardware itself.

There is also the idea of getting a product that has access to cryptographic access. So newcomers and new recruits of lamps are excellent products to explain it. So, simply buy it to Trezor with Fiat and the first cryptography and you’re now able to use this product in the Trezor suite. Software interacts with hardware.

Our main idea here is to always prioritize the needs of our users. That’s how you can explore new initiatives, new features you want to add to your product.

Partnership Strategy: User Needs and Market Trends

So, we are always prioritizing the needs of our users, so to some extent we hear and understand the entire community. From my personal perspective, on the roadmap, matching with independent defi is obviously something I would like to explore a new chain a little more, but I think it is also based on demand and user needs.

We also want to remain transparent. That’s also why users listen to what they want. But we also need to understand what the market is offering and what new trends are. So, overall, listen to the market and see which direction you are going. But please look forward to it. Something new is coming soon. And we’re excited about it.

Regulatory pressure, privacy and core values

I think Trezor’s thinking has always been about being independent as a human right, so we must keep that in mind. What we’re trying to do with non-customers is to maintain privacy and transparency for our users, our community as a whole, and our potential newcomers.

So, what our partners are linking back to their previous questions is to integrate products that comply with the new regulatory framework that exists there as needed. It has features such as on and off-ramp, allowing newcomers to purchase crypto in their wallets.

Integration and technological evolution: Identity, MPC, and account abstraction

There is a traditional method that exists in Trezor Keep Metal. This is a basic seed phrase that you physically store. For a while, it’s kind of a procedure. Now I think we’ve launched a new standard called Slip 39, a very interesting approach in simplifying the concept of seed phrases and simplifying the way in which we simplify the way we break down phrases and promote recovery while maintaining self-management within multiple devices.

A future of personal reflection and independence

So, on a personal level, I think independence is the beginning of freedom beyond human rights. It’s something we want to continue to pursue, regardless of all the changes within the industry and all the new regulatory frameworks that exist. I think there’s a way to keep that up and maintain the core values the company has always had.
