A comprehensive, modern, and security-focused guide explaining how Trezör® Bridge® acts as a critical connection layer between your hardware wallet and the decentralized web. This page is designed to inform, educate, and build confidence for users navigating the evolving Web3 ecosystem.
Trezör® Bridge® is a lightweight communication layer that allows supported web browsers to interact seamlessly with Trezör® hardware wallets. It eliminates the need for outdated browser plugins while preserving a strong security model rooted in hardware-level protection.
In the modern Web3 landscape, users expect instant, secure, and transparent interactions with decentralized applications. Trezör® Bridge® fulfills this expectation by acting as a trusted intermediary that never compromises private key isolation.
Unlike software-only wallet connectors, Trezör® Bridge® ensures that cryptographic operations are executed inside the hardware wallet itself. The bridge merely transmits signed data, not sensitive secrets.
The architecture of Trezör® Bridge® is intentionally minimalistic. It is designed to reduce the attack surface while maintaining high compatibility across platforms and browsers.
Runs as a background service on the user’s operating system, listening only to authorized requests from supported browsers.
Uses secure, well-defined APIs to enable communication without exposing wallet internals.
Ensures that all sensitive cryptographic actions remain confined to the hardware wallet.
Each request requires explicit user approval on the physical device, reinforcing trust.
Security is the cornerstone of Trezör® Bridge®. Every design decision prioritizes user sovereignty and resilience against both remote and physical threats.
Private keys never leave the hardware wallet. The bridge cannot read, export, or duplicate sensitive material.
All transactions must be confirmed on the device screen, preventing silent or hidden approvals.
The design philosophy emphasizes auditable behavior and predictable communication flows.
