Trézór Bridge: Connecting Your Hardware Wallet

The **Trézór Bridge** is a crucial piece of software that enables your Trézór hardware wallet to communicate seamlessly and securely with your web browser and desktop applications. Without it, many online services would not be able to interact with your Trézór device.

Think of it as the secure link between your physical Trézór device and the digital world of cryptocurrencies and decentralized applications (dApps).

Trézór Bridge serves as a local daemon (a background process) that runs on your computer. Its primary functions include:

• **Enabling Communication:** It facilitates the encrypted communication channel between your Trézór device, connected via USB, and the various web applications you use (e.g., Trézór Suite, online exchanges, and other third-party services that support Trézór).
• **Ensuring Security:** By handling the communication locally, it helps prevent malicious websites or software from directly accessing your Trézór. All sensitive operations, like signing transactions, still require physical confirmation on your Trézór device.
• **Cross-Browser Compatibility:** It ensures that your Trézór can be used across different web browsers, providing a consistent experience.

If you intend to use your Trézór hardware wallet for online interactions – such as managing your portfolio through the Trézór Suite web interface, accessing decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms, or signing transactions on various blockchain services – Trézór Bridge is essential.

It ensures that your Trézór is properly recognized and can securely authorize operations initiated from your computer's browser.

Trézór Bridge is typically installed automatically when you set up your Trézór device for the first time, or it will prompt you to download it when you visit a Trézór-supported website without it installed.

For the best experience and to ensure you have the latest version, always download Trézór Bridge directly from the official Trézór website or through the Trézór Suite application.
