Key Features of Trezör® Bridge®
Secure Transaction Signing
Bridge ensures every transaction is signed securely on your hardware device. Communications go via an encrypted channel and you always verify actions before approving them.
Device Authentication
Each connection is authenticated. Bridge checks firmware signatures and ensures your Trezör® device is genuine before passing along any request.
Compatibility with dApps
Many decentralized applications and Web3 wallets integrate with Bridge seamlessly. That means you can connect to your favorite platforms without compromising security.
Lightweight & Open Source
Bridge is designed to be efficient, with minimal system overhead. Its source code is open, promoting transparency and community auditing.

Advanced Bridge Usage & Security Tips
Once you're comfortable with the basic process, Bridge gives you more control and insight:
- Manual JSON approvals: You can see the raw transaction data, gas limits, and input parameters before signing.
- Chain support & custom networks: Bridge supports Ethereum, Polygon, BSC, and many EVM chains. You can even add custom RPC endpoints.
- Firmware checks: Bridge periodically checks whether your Trezör® firmware is up to date and will notify when updates are available.
- Session timeouts: Bridge includes session timeouts or auto-lock to protect you if you forget to disconnect.
- Logging & transparency: Bridge offers logs (locally) to help you debug connectivity or transaction issues.
Because Bridge never stores private keys or sensitive data (all signing is done on your hardware), it offers strong assurances that your Web3 operations remain secure.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What exactly does “connect Web3 securely” mean with Trezör® Bridge®?
When you “connect Web3 securely” using Trezör® Bridge®, it means that Bridge acts as an intermediary that relays requests from a dApp to your hardware device. The device handles cryptographic operations (signing) without exposing private keys, ensuring your interactions are protected.
2. Is Trezör® Bridge® compatible with all dApps?
Many popular decentralized applications and wallets integrate with Bridge, especially those supporting hardware wallets. However, not every dApp supports Bridge out of the box. Always check the wallet/dApp documentation for compatibility.
3. What happens if my Bridge connection fails during a transaction?
If the connection fails, the transaction will not be completed. Bridge is designed to avoid partial or unsafe states. You can restart Bridge and your device, reconnect, and retry the transaction safely.
4. Does Trezör® Bridge® store or transmit my private keys?
No. Bridge never has access to your private keys. All cryptographic signing happens locally on your Trezör® device. Bridge only relays the request and returns the signature result to the dApp.
5. How do I update Bridge and ensure it remains secure?
Bridge updates are typically distributed via the official Trezör website or GitHub. You should always download Bridge from trusted sources, verify checksums if provided, and keep your device firmware up to date. Avoid downloading Bridge from third-party or unverified locations.
