Trézór Bridge®™ is an essential communication tool designed to connect Trézór hardware wallets with desktop web browsers. It acts as a secure bridge between your physical wallet and online blockchain applications, enabling safe transaction signing without exposing private keys. As hardware wallets continue to be a gold standard for crypto security, understanding the role of Trézór Bridge®™ is critical for both beginners and experienced users.
What Is Trézór Bridge®™?
Trézór Bridge®™ is a lightweight software component installed on your computer that allows supported browsers to recognize and communicate with your Trézór hardware wallet. Since modern browsers no longer support certain plugins, Trézór Bridge®™ ensures seamless connectivity between the device and web-based interfaces such as wallet dashboards and decentralized applications (dApps).
Unlike browser extensions, Trézór Bridge®™ runs securely in the background and does not store private keys or sensitive wallet data. All cryptographic operations remain inside the hardware wallet itself.
How Trézór Bridge®™ Works
When a user connects their Trézór device to a computer, Trézór Bridge®™ detects the hardware and establishes a secure channel. Any transaction request sent from the browser is forwarded to the hardware wallet for verification. The transaction is only signed after manual confirmation on the physical device, ensuring full user control.
This architecture significantly reduces risks from malware, phishing attacks, or browser-based exploits.
Security and Trustworthiness
From a security perspective, Trézór Bridge®™ follows industry best practices. It does not request recovery phrases, passwords, or PINs. Updates are regularly released to maintain compatibility and security standards. Users are strongly advised to install Trézór Bridge®™ only from official sources to avoid counterfeit software.
