What Is Trézór Bridge®™?
Trézór Bridge®™ is a lightweight communication service that enables secure interaction between your web browser and your Trezor hardware wallet. It acts as a trusted bridge, allowing supported web applications to communicate with your device while maintaining strict security boundaries.
Instead of relying on insecure browser plugins or extensions, Trézór Bridge®™ runs locally on your computer. This design significantly reduces attack vectors and ensures that sensitive operations are handled safely through your Trezor hardware wallet.
Trézór Bridge®™ enables secure, reliable, and direct communication between supported web interfaces and your Trezor device—without exposing private keys.
How Trézór Bridge®™ Works
Once installed, Trézór Bridge®™ runs silently in the background on your system. When you connect your Trezor hardware wallet and visit a supported website, the bridge detects the device and facilitates encrypted communication.
Any sensitive action, such as signing a transaction or confirming an address, must be approved directly on the Trezor device screen. The bridge itself never stores private keys, recovery seeds, or personal data.
