Trezor Bridge is a dedicated background service that manages encrypted communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and your computer. It ensures your private keys remain secure within the hardware, enabling you to access web wallets and third-party apps safely and seamlessly.
Key Features
- End-to-end encrypted link between your computer and hardware wallet.
- Cross-platform support for Windows, macOS, Linux, and major browsers.
- Automatic device detection for smooth plug-and-play experience.
- Protects private keys by keeping them inside the hardware wallet at all times.
- Replaces risky browser extensions for safer connectivity and better compatibility.
- Transaction signing is always performed on the device, never exposed to computer or network.
How It Works
Upon connecting your Trezor wallet, Trezor Bridge launches as a background service. Web and desktop wallets interact with the hardware through the Bridge, but never receive access to private keys. Transactions are initiated on your app, but require device approval, ensuring malware cannot compromise your assets.
- Check transaction details on your Trezor device before confirming.
- Always download Bridge software from Trezor’s official website.
- Keep Bridge and device firmware updated for best security.
