Trezor Bridge⁕ — Secure And Seamless Cryptocurrency Hardware Wallet™

Comprehensive Overview

Trezor Bridge is the official desktop connector for Trezor hardware wallets, ensuring secure communication between your device and wallet applications. It acts as a local intermediary that never exposes your private keys to the network, giving you safe and reliable access across platforms.

Why Use Trezor Bridge?

• Compatibility with all modern operating systems: Windows, macOS, Linux.
• Fallback for browsers without WebUSB support.
• Cryptographically signed builds to ensure integrity.
• Runs in the background unobtrusively, simplifying the user experience.

Step-by-Step Installation

Advanced Configuration & Tips

• Adjust logging and debugging via configuration files for troubleshooting.
• Use ephemeral sessions for developer integrations to avoid persistent sensitive access.
• Bridge only listens on the local machine; never expose ports externally.
• Keep OS and Bridge updated for maximum security.

Detailed Troubleshooting

Bridge Not Detected

• Ensure Bridge service is running in background processes.
• Restart the service and wallet application.
• Switch USB ports or use direct motherboard ports instead of hubs.

Firewall or Antivirus Interference

Add exceptions for local loopback communication. Never forward Bridge ports to public networks.

Developer Integration Notes

Always follow official API documentation. Confirm sensitive actions physically on the device. Never store recovery seeds on the host machine.
