Trézor Bridge
Securely Connect Your Hardware Wallet

What is Trézor Bridge?

Trézor Bridge is a lightweight, secure software application designed to facilitate communication between your Trézor hardware wallet and your computer’s web browser. It acts as a bridge, enabling your device to interact with cryptocurrency management interfaces such as the Trézor Wallet web app. This connection is vital for performing secure transactions, managing your crypto assets, and ensuring your private keys never leave your hardware wallet.

Unlike traditional browser extensions, Trézor Bridge runs as a standalone application on your computer, providing enhanced security and compatibility across multiple operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is regularly updated by the Trézor team to support new features and maintain the highest security standards.

How Does Trézor Bridge Work?

The Trézor Bridge software runs in the background on your computer and listens for requests from your web browser. When you connect your Trézor hardware wallet, the bridge securely transmits commands and responses between the device and the browser interface. This process ensures that your private keys remain isolated on the hardware wallet, while allowing you to sign transactions and manage your cryptocurrency assets safely.

Here’s a simplified step-by-step process:

1. You install Trézor Bridge on your computer.
2. You connect your Trézor hardware wallet via USB.
3. You open a compatible web wallet or application (e.g., Trézor Wallet ).
4. The browser sends requests to Trézor Bridge to communicate with your device.
5. Trézor Bridge securely relays these requests to your hardware wallet.
6. Your device processes the requests, signs transactions, or provides information.
7. The responses are sent back through Trézor Bridge to the browser.

This architecture ensures that your sensitive data never leaves the hardware wallet, providing maximum security for your cryptocurrency holdings.
