What is Tŕezor™ Bŕridgeʬ?
Trezor Bridge is a secure, local software layer that enables communication between Trezor hardware wallets and web browsers or apps[web:25][web:26][web:27][web:28]. By encrypting every interaction, Bridge ensures your private keys stay isolated on your device—never exposed online, never shared.
- Acts as an interface, letting browsers and apps detect and communicate with connected Trezor devices
- Runs in the background for uninterrupted access—no manual syncing needed
- Works fluently across Windows, macOS, and Linux platforms
Without Trezor Bridge, your wallet is invisible to your browser—no transactions, no secure access. Bridge is essential for safe crypto management!
