🛡️ Trézór Bridge® | Crypto in Trèzōr™ Suite™*
In the world of cryptocurrency, security and usability go hand in hand. That’s where Trézór Bridge® steps in—a lightweight yet powerful software that connects your Trézór hardware wallet to your computer’s browser and desktop apps. Whether you're sending Bitcoin, staking Ethereum, or interacting with decentralized apps (dApps), Trézór Bridge ensures your crypto journey is smooth, secure, and seamless.
🔧 What Is Trézór Bridge®?
Trézór Bridge® is a secure communication layer developed by SatoshiLabs, designed to link your Trézór wallet with web-based interfaces like Trèzōr™ Suite™, MetaMask, MyEtherWallet, and other dApps2. It replaces older browser extensions and Chrome apps, offering a more reliable and secure way to interact with your wallet across modern browsers and operating systems.
Unlike browser plugins that expose your device to potential vulnerabilities, Trézór Bridge runs locally on your computer, translating browser requests into USB commands that your Trézór device understands.
🛠️ How Trézór Bridge® Works
Once installed, Trézór Bridge operates quietly in the background. It acts as a local HTTP server, listening for requests from supported apps and securely passing them to your hardware wallet. This design ensures:
- Encrypted communication between your wallet and browser
- No direct USB access from the browser, reducing attack surfaces
- Cross-platform compatibility with Windows, macOS, and Linux3
Whether you're using Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Edge, or Opera, Trézór Bridge ensures your wallet stays connected and protected.
