Trézór Bridge

Introducing the New Trézór App & Secure Bridge Interface

Welcome to the New Era of Device Connectivity

Trézór Bridge is the communication layer that securely connects your hardware wallet to the new Trézór App, enabling seamless transactions, firmware updates, and interface operations.

Introduction

In this guide, you will learn about Trézór Bridge, its role in device communication, and how the **new Trézór App** integrates with it to provide a modern, secure user experience. Whether you are a new or seasoned user, this document outlines architecture, usage, and security practices.

The Bridge app acts as a mediator between your hardware wallet and software interface — ensuring that each command, transaction, or firmware update is verified and authorized.

You’ll see input areas below, interactive examples, and a detailed FAQ to help clear common doubts.

What is Trézór Bridge?

Trézór Bridge is the software component that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware device and the Trézór App (desktop or web). It facilitates command relay, firmware updates, transaction signing, and device discovery.

The Bridge ensures that your browser or application can talk to the hardware device without exposing private keys or compromising security.

Note: Always download and install Trézór Bridge only from the official site to avoid malicious versions. Verify checksums when available.

The Bridge architecture typically includes:

The New Trézór App

The **new Trézór App** is the unified interface that your device communicates with via the Bridge. It could be desktop or web-based, providing a polished interface for wallet management, transaction monitoring, settings, etc.

This App integrates deeply with the Bridge to handle:

Tip: The App is designed to never ask for your recovery seed; all critical operations happen on the hardware device, with user confirmation.

Setup & How to Use

Reminder: Make sure Bridge is running before launching the Trézór App — the app depends on it to talk to your device.

Basic workflow:

  1. Install the latest **Trézór Bridge** from official source.
  2. Launch the Bridge as a background service (daemon) or system process.
  3. Open the **Trézór App** (desktop or web) and allow it to detect your hardware device.
  4. Authorize via device screen: confirm connection, operations, firmware updates.
  5. Use the App to inspect accounts, send/receive assets, check device health.

Each of these steps can be further elaborated: provide screenshots (described), error scenarios, logs, recovery steps, cross-OS differences, and advanced use cases.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. Why do I need Trézór Bridge?

Bridge is necessary to bridge (pun intended) between your App (browser or desktop) and the hardware wallet. Without it, the App cannot communicate securely with the device.

2. Can I run the App without Bridge?

No. The App depends on Bridge for low-level communication. Some advanced setups might embed the Bridge, but in standard use, Bridge must be installed and running.

3. Is Bridge safe from attacks?

Yes, if properly implemented. Bridge does not expose private keys. It forwards validated messages between the App and the device. Always verify cryptographic signatures on firmware updates and App-Bridge authenticity.

4. What platforms does Bridge support?

Trézór Bridge typically supports major platforms: Windows, macOS, Linux. The communication layer may vary (WebUSB, WebHID, native drivers) depending on OS. Expand this answer with per-OS notes, installation quirks, and troubleshooting.

5. What happens if Bridge stops working?

If Bridge fails, the App cannot communicate with your device. You may need to restart Bridge, check firewall or permissions, reinstall, or review logs for errors. Always keep backup access and instructions.
