Browser security models and hardware isolation are sometimes at odds. Trezor Bridge provides a controlled local connection layer that lets trusted browser apps talk to Trezor devices without exposing private keys.
Trezor Bridge runs locally and exposes a small, authenticated API that browser wallets call. The device stays offline for private key operations; Bridge only forwards signed requests after user confirmation on the device.
Seed phrases, private keys, and user confirmations always remain on the Trezor device. Bridge is a facilitator; it does not store secrets.
Bridge eliminates the need for complex driver installs and provides a single, consistent flow for connecting hardware wallets to web apps, improving conversion and trust.
Works with assistive tools and follows common accessibility patterns so more users can adopt hardware wallets safely.
Always test on a second machine or OS environment before rolling any configuration changes across teams.
Developers can build wallet web apps that detect Bridge and guide users through signing flows. Enterprises can standardize on Bridge for internal cold-storage operations and secure signing pipelines.
Bridge supports programmatic calls with strict user confirmation requirements — ideal for auditor-friendly setups.
Trezor Bridge minimizes data exposure by keeping sensitive operations local. Organizations can build compliant workflows by combining hardware-level security with documented processes and audit logs.
No telemetry or account data is required to use Bridge — users control what they share with DApps.
Trezor Bridge is a small but critical component that connects secure hardware with modern web interfaces. It reduces friction while preserving strong security guarantees: keys stay on-device, user confirmation is required for signing, and local communications are controlled.
