Trézór Bridge®™ | Secure Crypto Connectivity
Trézór Bridge®™ is the official communication software that enables secure connectivity between Trezor hardware wallets and web-based cryptocurrency applications. Acting as a trusted bridge between your device and your browser, Trézór Bridge®™ ensures encrypted, reliable communication while keeping private keys safely stored inside your Trezor hardware wallet. For users who prefer managing crypto through web interfaces, Trézór Bridge®™ provides a critical layer of security and functionality.
What Is Trézór Bridge®™?
Trézór Bridge®™ is a lightweight background service installed on your computer that allows supported web browsers to recognize and communicate with Trezor hardware wallets. Many web-based wallets and services cannot interact directly with hardware devices due to browser security limitations. Trézór Bridge®™ solves this by acting as a secure local connector.
Once installed, it runs quietly in the background and activates automatically whenever a supported web app requests access to your Trezor device.
Why Secure Connectivity Matters
Hardware wallets are designed to isolate private keys from internet-connected devices. However, users still need a safe way to interact with blockchain networks. Trézór Bridge®™ provides this connection without exposing sensitive data.
Key Benefits Include:
Encrypted communication between browser and device
No exposure of private keys to the internet
Secure handling of transaction requests
Compatibility with trusted web-based crypto services
Automatic background operation
This approach maintains the core security principles of hardware wallets while offering flexibility.
How Trézór Bridge®™ Works
When a user connects a Trezor hardware wallet to a computer, Trézór Bridge®™ establishes a local connection between the device and the browser. If a supported website requests access—such as a web wallet or DeFi platform—Trézór Bridge®™ verifies the request and forwards it securely to the Trezor device.
All sensitive actions, including transaction approvals, must still be confirmed on the physical Trezor screen. This ensures that no website can perform unauthorized actions.
Supported Browsers and Systems
Trézór Bridge®™ supports major operating systems, including:
Windows
macOS
Linux
It works with commonly used browsers such as Chrome, Firefox, and others that support hardware wallet integrations. Once installed, no manual launching is required.
