Secure Connection for Your Hardware Wallet
Trezor Bridge is the communication software that securely connects your Trezor hardware wallet to your computer or browser. Unlike web-based wallets, it keeps your private keys offline, ensuring your cryptocurrency assets remain fully protected. 🌐
It functions as a bridge between your Trezor device and Trezor Suite, the companion application that allows you to manage multiple cryptocurrencies in a safe environment.
The primary purpose of Trezor Bridge is to maintain the offline status of your private keys while allowing seamless transaction signing. 🔒 Even if your computer is compromised, your assets are protected because sensitive data never leaves the device.
Trezor Bridge supports Windows, macOS, and Linux. Once installed, your hardware wallet communicates securely with Trezor Suite or supported browser extensions without exposing sensitive information.
