What is Trezõr® Brïdge®?
Trezõr® Brïdge® — commonly referred to as Trezor Bridge — is an official lightweight application that runs on your computer to enable secure, local communication with your Trezor hardware wallet. Bridge acts as a secure gateway, translating between the USB-connected Trezor device and trusted desktop clients such as Trezor Suite or supported third-party apps. Using Trezõr® Brïdge® ensures private keys stay on your device: Bridge merely forwards requests and requires physical confirmation on your Trezor device for any sensitive action.
Why use Trezõr® Brïdge®?
Trezõr® Brïdge® plays a critical role in secure crypto management. It reduces browser-based attack surfaces, provides a reliable connection for signing transactions, and streamlines compatibility between operating systems and wallet software.
