The short version

What changed, and why it matters

This commit changes how the older Trezor One (legacy) firmware displays Ethereum transaction fees on the device screen. Previously, small per-gas fee values could be shown in 'Wei' (the smallest Ethereum unit) instead of always using 'Gwei'. The fix makes per-gas fees consistently display in Gwei, matching the newer Trezor Core firmware. This is a user-interface consistency fix that could have minor security relevance because confusing fee units might lead a user to misread or misapprove a transaction fee, but the commit itself does not change any signing logic or cryptographic checks.

Recommended action

Treat as a low-risk UI hardening fix. Review whether the previous Wei/Gwei fallback behavior could have been exploited to make a fee appear smaller or larger than intended, but note the commit does not address any deeper validation issue. Ensure updated UI fixtures reflect intended display behavior and consider documenting the change for users even though the commit omits a changelog entry.

Security signals we found

01

UI unit formatting inconsistency between legacy and core firmware

02

Potential user confusion between Wei and Gwei for Ethereum gas fees

03

No changes to cryptographic or transaction validation logic

04

Test fixture hash updates indicate expected screen output changed
