What is Trezor Bridge?
Trezor Bridge is a background service that connects your Trezor hardware wallet with your computer applications and browsers. It ensures seamless data transmission without relying on browser extensions, enhancing both security and reliability.
How It Works
The bridge acts as a trusted communication layer that safely manages device requests and responses. When your wallet interacts with the Trezor Suite or web-based wallets, the bridge establishes an encrypted channel to guarantee transaction integrity.
Key Advantages
- Ensures private, encrypted connections between wallet and system.
- Eliminates the need for browser plugins.
- Compatible across major platforms including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
- Regularly updated by Trezor developers for improved stability.
Installation Overview
You can easily install Trezor Bridge from the official Trezor website. Once installed, it runs automatically in the background whenever you connect your Trezor device. No manual configuration is required, making it beginner-friendly and efficient.
Safe Usage Practices
Always ensure downloads come directly from Trezor.io to avoid phishing attacks. The bridge itself never stores your private keys or recovery phrase; all critical operations occur within the Trezor hardware wallet. This design keeps your digital assets protected at all times.
