How Does Trezõr Brïdge® Work?
Modern browsers do not allow direct communication with USB hardware devices for security reasons. Trezõr Brïdge® acts as a trusted intermediary that listens locally for requests from compatible Web3 applications and securely relays them to your Trezor device via USB.
By isolating the direct hardware communication, Trezõr Brïdge® prevents malicious websites or browser components from accessing your sensitive wallet data. When you initiate a transaction or request, the bridge verifies the connection and prompts you to confirm the action physically on your device.
This setup ensures your private keys stay offline and immune from hacking attempts, phishing scams, or malware, providing peace of mind as you manage your crypto assets.
