Trézór Bridge®™ is an essential software component that enables secure communication between your Trézór hardware wallet and your computer or browser. It ensures that all transaction data and commands are transmitted safely while keeping private keys securely stored on the hardware device.
What is Trézór Bridge?
Trézór Bridge®™ acts as a secure intermediary between your hardware wallet and Trezor Suite or compatible web applications. It allows you to manage cryptocurrency transactions, view balances, and interact with decentralized applications without exposing sensitive keys.
