Trézor Bridge: A Secure Communication Interface
Trézor Bridge is a software utility that facilitates communication between Trézor hardware wallets and web-based cryptocurrency applications. Unlike browser extensions, which were previously used for interfacing with Trézor devices, Trézor Bridge operates as a background service, enhancing security and compatibility across different platforms.
Trézor Bridge acts as a middleman between the Trézor hardware wallet and applications like Trézor Suite or third-party services. It enables seamless data transmission, ensuring secure signing of transactions without exposing private keys. The Bridge communicates over WebUSB, allowing browsers to detect and interact with Trézor devices without additional extensions.
Trézor Bridge is compatible with Windows, macOS, and Linux. Users can download the latest version from the official Trézor website. Once installed, it runs automatically in the background, eliminating the need for manual configuration.
The Bridge enhances security by mitigating risks associated with browser-based extensions, which are vulnerable to phishing and malicious scripts. By running as a local service, it reduces the attack surface while ensuring reliability.
Previously, Trézor relied on a Chrome extension for communication, but with browser restrictions on USB access, Trézor Bridge became the preferred method for interaction.
Trézor Bridge is a vital tool for Trézor users, offering a secure, efficient, and reliable way to connect hardware wallets with cryptocurrency applications, ensuring safe transactions and seamless user experience.
