Trézór Bridge®™ | Secure Crypto Connectivity

Trézór Bridge®™ is the official communication layer developed by Trezor to seamlessly and securely connect your Trezor hardware wallet with desktop browsers and supported applications. Acting as a trusted gateway between your device and online interfaces, Trézór Bridge®™ ensures that every interaction—from account access to transaction signing—remains protected by Trezor’s industry-leading security standards. Whether you use Trezor Suite, Web3 platforms, or third-party crypto tools, the Bridge is essential for establishing smooth, encrypted connectivity.

What Is Trézór Bridge®™?

Trézór Bridge®™ is a lightweight background application that runs on your computer to facilitate communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and your web browser. Without the Bridge, many browsers cannot directly communicate with USB devices due to security restrictions. The Bridge solves this problem by acting as a secure interpreter, ensuring your device can authenticate safely with apps like Trezor Suite, MyEtherWallet, MetaMask, and other crypto platforms.

Unlike traditional browser extensions, Trézór Bridge®™ uses a secure local communication protocol, reducing attack vectors and improving compatibility across operating systems.

Why You Need Trézór Bridge®™

1. Seamless Browser Communication

Modern browsers often block direct USB communication for security. The Bridge enables your Trezor to communicate properly with sites that require wallet access.

2. Hardware-Level Security

The Bridge never handles sensitive data like your private keys or recovery seed. All critical operations are performed inside your Trezor device, ensuring maximum security even when connected to external platforms.

3. Compatibility with Multiple Crypto Services

Whether you’re managing Bitcoin, interacting with Ethereum dApps, or verifying transactions on third-party platforms, Trézór Bridge®™ ensures smooth operation.

4. Auto-Updates for Better Stability

The Bridge frequently updates itself in the background, ensuring improved speed, stability, and compatibility with browsers and Trezor firmware updates.

How Trézór Bridge®™ Works

Trézór Bridge®™ operates as a secure middle layer between your browser and your hardware wallet, enabling encrypted data exchange. Here’s a simplified explanation of its mechanism:

  1. Browser Requests Access – A website or app asks to communicate with your wallet.

  2. Bridge Authenticates – Trézór Bridge®™ validates the request via a secure local port.

  3. Trezor Device Responds – Your hardware wallet processes the request internally.

  4. User Confirms on Device – Any sensitive action (e.g., signing transactions) must be approved on the physical Trezor screen.

  5. Secure Data Returns – The Bridge passes encrypted confirmation back to the app or browser.

This workflow ensures every interaction is secure and user-verified.
