The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit reverts an earlier design change in Trezor's Ethereum message handling. It changes the protocol so that only a single token definition can be passed up-front with a transaction, instead of a list of multiple tokens. The change is described as a routine cleanup ('chore') to restore a previous simpler design. There is no direct evidence in the commit that this fixes an active security bug, but it removes complexity that could in principle reduce the attack surface for malformed or conflicting token definitions.

Recommended action

Treat as a low-risk design cleanup. Reviewers may want to confirm that the single-token limit does not break legitimate multi-token workflows and that the removed multi-token tests are adequately replaced by single-token coverage. No urgent security response is indicated by the commit itself.

Security signals we found

01

Reduction of externally controlled input complexity (single token vs. list)

02

Removal of multi-token parsing loop in firmware

03

No explicit security claim or CVE reference in commit

04

No changelog entry, consistent with routine refactor

05

Tests updated to reflect single-token behavior, including removal of multi-token test cases
