Introduction
Trezor Bridge® is a critical software layer that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and the Trezor App. By keeping your private keys safely on the hardware device, it allows you to interact with Web3 applications, manage cryptocurrencies, and execute transactions without exposing sensitive information to the internet.
Designed with both beginners and advanced users in mind, Trezor Bridge® simplifies the connection process while maintaining strong security protocols. Whether you are managing Bitcoin, Ethereum, or various tokens, the software ensures all communications are encrypted and verified.
Architecture and Security
The Bridge works as a local service on your computer, acting as a mediator between the Trezor device and the Trezor App. It handles encrypted communication, ensures transaction integrity, and prevents unauthorized access. Private keys never leave your device, providing maximum security against malware and phishing attacks.
All operations, including signing transactions and verifying addresses, happen on the hardware device. The Trezor App merely receives signed confirmations, reducing the risk of exposure even if your computer is compromised.
Key Features
1. End-to-End Encryption
Every transaction request and response is encrypted locally. This ensures private data remains secure and confidential.
2. Cross-Platform Compatibility
Trezor Bridge® supports Windows, macOS, and Linux, giving users a consistent experience across different devices.
3. Automatic Device Detection
The software detects connected Trezor wallets automatically, simplifying management for multiple devices.
4. Developer-Friendly SDK
Developers can integrate Trezor Bridge® functionality into their applications using the SDK, which supports BIP32, PSBT, and smart contract interactions.
