Overview
Trezör® Bridge® — Connect Your Web3 World Securely™
Welcome to Trezör Bridge, the secure gateway that links your web browser and your hardware wallet with speed, clarity, and uncompromising safety. Built for collectors, traders, and developers who demand the best, Trezör Bridge ensures your private keys never leave your device while giving you instant, seamless access to decentralized apps, exchanges, and signature workflows.
Why Trezör Bridge matters
Trezör Bridge eliminates fragile browser integrations and fragile temporary connections by creating a hardened tunnel between your browser and the device. No cloud storage of sensitive data, no background servers holding your keys — only a minimal, auditable connector that forwards authorized requests from your browser to your hardware wallet.
How it works
- Trusted pairing: A short-lived secure handshake pairs your browser session with the Trezör device using cryptographic nonce exchange.
- Request mediation: The Bridge mediates signing requests, presenting a human-readable summary in your browser and a final confirmation on the hardware device.
- Local verification: All requests are checked locally for malformed data, excessive gas fees, and contract anomalies before reaching the signer.
- Explicit consent: Each signature operation requires an on-device confirmation — guaranteeing that no remote website can sign transactions without your physical approval.
Security features
- Open-source auditability: The Bridge codebase is fully open for inspection and community audits.
- Minimal attack surface: Runs only when a device is connected; browser extension vectors are eliminated.
- Transport encryption: All traffic between browser and device is end-to-end encrypted and authenticated.
- Firmware verification: The Bridge checks the device firmware signature and alerts users on mismatch or outdated firmware.
- Transaction previewing: Human-readable transaction details are shown on both browser and device to prevent phishing.
Designed for builders and power users
Developers can integrate Trezör Bridge with dApp toolkits using a straightforward API. It supports batched requests, typed data signing (EIP-712), and advanced HD wallet derivation paths for multi-account setups. For institutional teams, the Bridge can be combined with multi-sig smart contract wallets and hardware security modules in layered workflows.
User experience and performance
Trezör Bridge is optimized for low latency interactions. Signing flows are designed to be completed in under a few seconds once the device is connected. The interface gives clear, contextual prompts — transaction amounts, recipient addresses, gas estimates, and contract names — so you can make informed decisions quickly.
Futuristic contrast and thematic options
Pick a visual style that matches your persona and workflow. Each theme offers a different visual contrast while preserving accessibility and legibility.
- Modern Blue Gradient — elegant deep-blue and cyan tones for a fresh, trustworthy crypto brand.
- Light Minimal Theme — soft whites, mint greens, and gray typography for a clean and bright experience.
- Vibrant Purple Accent Theme — an indigo-to-violet gradient that feels modern, bold, and energetic.
New words and terminology
We introduce a few coined terms to make workflows friendlier:
- GateProof — a human-readable summary of the signature request validated on-device.
- BlinkLink — the ephemeral encrypted session ID used during pairing.
- SafeFrame — the local verification sandbox that simulates transaction execution for safety checks.
Accessibility and privacy
Trezör Bridge follows accessibility best practices with keyboard navigation, high-contrast modes, and screen-reader friendly labels. No telemetry is collected unless explicitly enabled by the user, and opt-in logs are aggregated anonymously for diagnostics.
Deployment and updates
The Bridge auto-updates with cryptographically-signed releases. Administrators can pin approved versions for enterprise deployments. Release notes are concise and annotated with security changelogs so teams can quickly review what changed.
Getting started (quick)
- Download the Bridge installer from the official site.
- Connect your Trezör device via USB or secure wireless transport.
- Follow the in-app pairing steps and approve the GateProof on-device.
- Open any supported dApp; the Bridge will appear as a trusted connector.
Common questions
Q: Can websites sign without my approval?
A: No. Every signature must be confirmed physically on your device. The Bridge only forwards requests after local validation and explicit user approval.
Q: Is my seed phrase ever transmitted?
A: Never. Seed phrases and private keys remain on the hardware device and are never exposed to the host system.
Q: What if I lose my device?
A: Use your recovery seed on a new compatible Trezör device. Keep your seed offline and secure.
Q: Does the Bridge work cross-platform?
A: Yes. It supports the major desktop operating systems and browser stacks.
Community and roadmap
Our community drives the Bridge forward. We publish a transparent roadmap with quarterly milestones: expanded wallet integrations, improved mobile transport security, developer SDKs, and advanced analytics for enterprise observability. Community contributors are welcomed through clear contributing guidelines and bounty programs for security improvements. Join forums and developer channels to request features, report issues, or propose integrations. We believe open collaboration accelerates security and user trust.
