Official Trézor® Bridge®®| Introducing the New Trezor®
As cryptocurrency tools evolve, so do the technologies that support them. While desktop apps offer a complete experience, many users still prefer the flexibility of browser-based wallets. Trezor Bridge was created to support this preference without weakening security.
The Purpose of Trezor Bridge
Trezor Bridge is a background service that allows Trezor hardware wallets to communicate with supported web interfaces. It replaces older browser plugins and provides a more secure, modern method for device interaction.
By acting as a communication layer, Trezor Bridge ensures that data exchanged between the wallet and the browser remains protected at all times.
How Trezor Bridge Works
When a user connects their Trezor device to a computer, Trezor Bridge detects it and enables the browser to recognize the wallet. Any action—such as checking balances or confirming a transaction—requires physical approval on the device.
This means that even if a malicious website attempts to initiate a transaction, it cannot be completed without user confirmation on the hardware wallet itself.
Key Benefits for Users
Trezor Bridge offers several advantages:
- Eliminates the need for risky browser extensions
- Ensures stable connections with supported web wallets
- Works silently in the background
- Maintains full hardware-level security
These benefits make it a preferred solution for users who value both convenience and safety.
When Do You Need Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is typically required when accessing Trezor wallets through a web browser rather than the Trezor Suite desktop app. While many users now prefer the desktop experience, Trezor Bridge remains an important option for those who rely on web-based tools or specific third-party integrations.
Conclusion
In the world of crypto security, even the smallest components matter. Trezor Bridge plays a vital supporting role by enabling secure communication between hardware wallets and web platforms. It allows users to enjoy the flexibility of browser-based access without compromising the core promise of a hardware wallet: keeping private keys safe.
