Trezõr® brïdge® || Connect Your Web3 World Securely™

Seamless Interface between Web & Hardware Wallet

Welcome to a New Era of Web3 Connectivity

In this age of decentralization, you need a robust and secure method to interact with Web3 services — whether DeFi platforms, NFTs, or dApps. That’s where Trezõr® brïdge® comes into play. Our bridge acts as the reliable conduit between your browser environment and your Trezor Hardware Wallet.

Getting started is effortless. Simply visit Trezor.io/start and follow the guided setup. The bridge software runs locally, making the communication private and shielded from interference. Combined with the official Trezor Suite client application and the hardware security of your device, you gain a secure Web3 experience like never before.

Why This Matters

Many Web3 applications assume direct access to wallets via browser extensions or web-based APIs. That introduces risk. With Trezor Bridge, you host that connectivity on your machine, under your control. You remain in command, while still enjoying the convenience of modern dApps.

Core Features & Benefits

1. Local Communication

Trezor Bridge runs on your computer (Windows, macOS, Linux). It listens locally and never sends your private keys externally. All requests from the browser are proxied into the secure hardware flow.

2. Compatibility with Web Apps

Popular wallets and dApps detect Trezor Bridge automatically. Whether you’re connecting to DeFi dashboards or NFT marketplaces, the bridge ensures compatibility without compromising safety.

3. Support for Trezor Suite & Web3 Apps

Use Trezor Suite for managing your wallet, firmware updates, coin support, and backup. Then, with Trezor Bridge in place, you can seamlessly interact with Web3 apps using the same secure hardware. You may also use Trezor Login on services that support Web3-based authentication.

4. Easy to Update & Maintain

Updates to Trezor Bridge are small and simple. They typically improve compatibility or patch security. You can download the latest version from Trezor.io/start or check within Trezor Suite under settings.

How the Bridge Works (Technical Overview)

H4: Localhost Proxy

Internally, Trezor Bridge opens a local HTTP(S) endpoint on your machine (e.g. http://127.0.0.1:21325). Web apps send JSON‑RPC or WebUSB requests to that endpoint. The bridge translates these to USB or HID commands to your actual hardware device.

H4: Secure Path to Device

When a browser wants to sign a transaction or request a public key, it issues a request to the bridge. The bridge then passes it to your Trezor Hardware Wallet. The device confirms the user’s physical presence via button or touch confirmation.

H4: Privacy-Preserving Design

No data leaves your machine unless explicitly authorized by you. The bridge does not log or cache sensitive messages in persistent storage. It acts purely as a translator between browser and hardware.

How to Get Started: Step by Step

H4: Step 1 — Download & Install

Visit Trezor.io/start. That page leads you to the correct version of Trezor Bridge for your operating system. Download and run the installer.

H4: Step 2 — Set Up or Connect Your Device

If you are new, follow the setup wizard in Trezor Suite to initialize your Trezor Hardware Wallet. If you already have a wallet, simply connect it via USB or USB‑C.

H4: Step 3 — Connect Web Apps

Open a Web3 app or site. On connection, you’ll be prompted to choose your Trezor device. The site will access the bridge automatically. Confirm each action on the physical device.

H4: Step 4 — Use Trezor Login & DApps

Some platforms allow you to authenticate via Trezor Login. This enables trustless, key-backed login without passwords. Use it where available, or stick to standard wallet connection flows.

H4: Step 5 — Firmware Updates & Maintenance

Periodically open Trezor Suite and check for firmware updates. The suite interacts with Trezor Bridge to execute updates safely. Always verify the firmware signature on device before confirming.

Frequently Asked Questions (5 FAQs)

FAQ 1: What exactly is Trezor Bridge?

Answer: Trezor Bridge is a host‑side software that proxies communication between your browser or Web3 apps and your Trezor Hardware Wallet. It enables safe and local cross‑application connectivity without exposing private keys.

FAQ 2: Do I still need Trezor Suite if I have the bridge?

Answer: Yes. Trezor Suite is the official companion software used for initialization, backup, firmware updates, account management, and coin support. The bridge alone is not sufficient for full wallet management.

FAQ 3: Can I log into services with Trezor Login?

Answer: Where supported, yes. Trezor Login allows you to authenticate to certain Web3 services using your Trezor’s public key and a challenge signature. That way you avoid passwords and retain key control.

FAQ 4: What is the difference between Trezor.io/start and Trezor Bridge?

Answer: Trezor.io/start is a landing page that guides you to download Trezor software (bridge, suite) or firmware. Trezor Bridge is the actual intermediate software (local agent) used for connecting web apps to the hardware wallet.

FAQ 5: Is Trezor Bridge secure?

Answer: Yes. It operates entirely on your local machine, does not transmit private keys, and is designed as a minimal, transparent proxy. All transaction approvals must be confirmed on the physical Trezor Hardware Wallet.
