How Trezor™ Bridge Works

Trezor™ Bridge is a lightweight communication service that runs on your computer in the background. It acts as a bridge (hence the name) between the web browser or desktop applications and your physical Trezor device.

When you connect your Trezor hardware wallet via USB or USB-C, Trezor Bridge facilitates encrypted communication by:

Enabling browser applications to securely send transaction data to your Trezor device.
Relaying user confirmations (like PIN entries or transaction approvals) from the device back to the apps.
Ensuring that your sensitive private keys remain inside the secure element on the Trezor device at all times.

This design makes it impossible for malware or phishing sites to intercept your credentials or tamper with your transactions without your explicit physical confirmation on the hardware.

        Security Highlight: Your private keys never leave your Trezor device — Trezor Bridge simply relays signed transactions to your wallet applications securely and efficiently.
