Slide 1: Introduction to Trezor Bridge®

Trezor Bridge® is the official software that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and computer applications. It acts as a bridge between your device and wallet interfaces, such as Trezor Suite or supported third-party apps.

Unlike older browser extensions, Trezor Bridge® provides modern, reliable, and encrypted connectivity, allowing seamless access to cryptocurrencies while keeping private keys safely offline. It supports multiple browsers including Google Chrome, Mozilla Firefox, Microsoft Edge, and Brave.

Slide 2: Purpose of Trezor Bridge®

The main purpose of Trezor Bridge® is to allow your computer to interact with a Trezor hardware wallet without exposing private keys.

Using Trezor Bridge®, users can:

• Connect Trezor devices to desktop and web applications securely
• Authenticate devices before transactions
• Sign transactions safely on the hardware wallet
• Manage cryptocurrency accounts through trusted software

This ensures that all wallet operations remain secure, reducing the risk of phishing or malware attacks.

Slide 3: Key Features

Trezor Bridge® provides a range of features that make hardware wallet management safe and convenient:

• Secure Communication: All data exchanged between your Trezor device and software is encrypted.
• Device Authentication: Ensures only genuine Trezor wallets can connect.
• Background Operation: Runs quietly, enabling smooth wallet interactions without interruptions.
• Multi-Browser Support: Compatible with Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Brave.
• Reliable Connectivity: More stable and consistent than older browser extension methods.

These features make Trezor Bridge® essential for anyone using a Trezor wallet on a computer.

Slide 4: How Trezor Bridge® Works

Trezor Bridge® functions as a background service that enables secure communication between your Trezor hardware wallet and wallet applications.

When you initiate a transaction:

1. Your wallet software sends a transaction request to Trezor Bridge®.
2. Trezor Bridge® forwards the request securely to the hardware wallet.
3. The device displays transaction details and requires physical confirmation.
4. Once approved, the hardware wallet signs the transaction.
5. Trezor Bridge® sends the signed transaction back to the software interface.

At no point do your private keys leave the hardware wallet.

Slide 5: Security Features

Security is at the core of Trezor Bridge®:

• Private Keys Stay Offline: Keys are never transmitted to your computer or the internet.
• Transaction Verification: All transactions require physical confirmation on the device.
• Device Authentication: Only genuine Trezor hardware wallets are allowed.
• Encrypted Communication: All data between Trezor Bridge® and the wallet interface is encrypted.

These measures protect against hacking, phishing, and unauthorized access.
