Trezor Bridge® | Introducing the New Trezor® | App®

Trezor® is a trusted name in the world of cryptocurrency security. Known for producing the first-ever hardware wallet, Trezor continues to set the standard for safe, offline storage of digital assets. With growing demand for security and user-friendly tools, Trezor has introduced Trezor Bridge® and the new Trezor® App®, offering users a streamlined, secure way to manage their crypto.

In this guide, we’ll explore what Trezor Bridge is, how it works with the new Trezor App, and why it matters for anyone looking to store and use cryptocurrency safely.

What is Trezor®?

Trezor® is a hardware wallet developed by SatoshiLabs. It’s a physical device that stores your private keys offline, protecting them from hackers and malware. When connected to your computer or smartphone, the Trezor device allows you to sign transactions securely without exposing sensitive data to the internet.

With models like the Trezor Model One and Trezor Model T, users can manage hundreds of cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin, Ethereum, and many ERC-20 tokens.

What is Trezor Bridge®?

Trezor Bridge® is a background application that acts as a secure connection between your Trezor hardware wallet and your web browser. Without it, your browser cannot communicate directly with your hardware wallet.

It allows web-based interfaces—like the Trezor Suite or the older web wallet—to safely interact with your device. Trezor Bridge ensures that communication between the app and the hardware wallet stays encrypted, reliable, and private.

Key Benefits of Trezor Bridge:

  • Secure Communication: Establishes a safe link between your device and your computer.
  • Automatic Updates: Keeps your connection tools up-to-date without requiring manual downloads.
  • Wide Compatibility: Works with most operating systems including Windows, macOS, and Linux.
  • Browser Integration: Enables access to your wallet through supported web apps and the new Trezor App.

Introducing the New Trezor® App®

The Trezor App® (also known as Trezor Suite Desktop) is the latest evolution of the Trezor user interface. It replaces the older browser-based wallet and provides a more secure and modern experience.

Main Features of the Trezor App:

  • Full Wallet Control: Manage your crypto portfolio, view balances, send and receive coins, and track transactions all in one place.
  • Built-in Exchange Access: Swap cryptocurrencies directly within the app using integrated exchange services.
  • Passphrase and PIN Setup: Enhance security with multiple levels of authentication.
  • Privacy Features: Includes tools like Tor routing for extra privacy when accessing the blockchain.
  • Firmware Updates: Install updates to your Trezor device directly through the app interface.
  • Support for Tokens: Manage popular tokens like USDT, UNI, LINK, and more.

How Trezor Bridge Works with the Trezor App

To use the Trezor App on a desktop, Trezor Bridge must be installed. Here's how they work together:

  1. Install Trezor Bridge on your operating system. This allows your computer to recognize your Trezor device.
  2. Launch the Trezor App (Trezor Suite). The app connects through Trezor Bridge to access your wallet securely.
  3. Connect your Trezor hardware wallet via USB.
  4. Authenticate using your PIN or passphrase on the hardware device.
  5. Begin managing your digital assets—whether checking balances, signing transactions, or trading coins.

Without Trezor Bridge, your device will not properly communicate with the Trezor Suite app or web-based interfaces.

Why Use the Trezor App and Trezor Bridge?

1. Maximum Security

Using the Trezor hardware wallet with Trezor Bridge and the official app ensures your private keys never touch an internet-connected device. This keeps you safe from phishing attacks, malware, and browser exploits.

2. Better User Experience

The new Trezor App is faster, more intuitive, and provides more features than the older web wallet. It's also compatible with future software updates and new crypto integrations.

3. Privacy by Design

With built-in privacy options like anonymous mode and support for Tor, Trezor gives you full control over your identity and your digital footprint.

4. Reliable Support and Updates

SatoshiLabs provides ongoing updates for both Trezor Bridge and the Trezor App. This ensures compatibility with the latest operating systems, coins, and tokens.
