💡 What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a lightweight background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and supported web browsers. It acts as a facilitator for transactions and interactions without compromising the security principles of your Trezor device.
Unlike browser extensions, Trezor Bridge runs as a standalone application that works silently in the background, only activating when you need to interact with your Trezor device through a compatible web interface.
🛡️ Security Features
Trezor Bridge maintains the highest security standards by ensuring that your private keys never leave your Trezor device. All sensitive operations are performed securely on the hardware wallet itself.
The application establishes an encrypted local connection between your browser and Trezor device, preventing any exposure of your cryptographic secrets to potentially compromised computers or networks.
⚙️ How It Works
When you connect your Trezor device to your computer, Trezor Bridge detects it and prepares it for interaction with web-based wallet interfaces like the Trezor Wallet or other supported services.
The bridge translates communication protocols between your browser and the Trezor device, allowing you to securely confirm transactions, manage accounts, and verify addresses directly from your hardware wallet's display.
