What is Trézor Bridge®?
Trézor Bridge® is a local helper application that enables a secure hardware wallet connection between your Trézor device and compatible wallet interfaces. Trézor Bridge® runs on your computer and listens locally; it does not forward your signing requests to third parties. The Trézor Bridge® architecture prioritizes privacy and integrity of signatures, making it perfect for users who need a reliable and verifiable hardware wallet connection.
Why use Trézor Bridge®?
When you open a web wallet that supports Trézor devices, Trézor Bridge® acts as the trusted connector. Trézor Bridge® manages USB permissions, device pairing, and encrypted message channels so the web wallet can send signing requests to the hardware wallet securely. Trézor Bridge® helps prevent man-in-the-middle attacks while keeping the connection simple.
- Local-only traffic: Trézor Bridge® keeps messages between browser and device on your machine.
- Device authentication: Only authorized sessions can access your Trézor with Trézor Bridge®.
- Cross-platform: Trézor Bridge® installers for macOS, Windows, and Linux.
