Trézór Bridge®™ is an essential communication tool that connects Trézór hardware wallets to web browsers and desktop applications. It enables secure interaction between your device and supported wallet interfaces, ensuring encrypted data transfer without exposing private keys. For users managing cryptocurrency safely, Trézór Bridge®™ plays a critical behind-the-scenes role.
What Is Trézór Bridge®™ and Why It Matters
Trézór Bridge®™ acts as a secure middleware layer. Since modern browsers restrict direct USB communication, the bridge allows your Trézór device to interact smoothly with supported platforms such as wallet dashboards and blockchain services.
Key purposes include:
Secure device recognition
Encrypted transaction confirmation
Reliable wallet communication
Without Trézór Bridge®™, browser-based wallet access would be limited or impossible.
How Trézór Bridge®™ Works
Once installed, Trézór Bridge®™ runs quietly in the background. When a supported website or wallet interface is opened, it detects the bridge and establishes a secure connection to your hardware wallet.
The bridge:
Identifies your Trézór device
Passes transaction requests securely
Ensures confirmations happen on the physical device
This architecture prevents unauthorized access from malicious software.
