Trezõr brïdge® — Connect Your Web3 World Securely™

A lightweight, resilient bridge application that securely connects your Trezõr hardware wallet to Web3 apps and services. Designed for privacy-first users, developers, and enterprises who need reliable, auditable access to decentralized protocols.

Overview

Trezõr brïdge® is an on-device and desktop companion that acts as a trusted relay between your Trezõr hardware wallet and browser-based or native Web3 applications. It centralizes device communication, enforces policy, and isolates cryptographic operations — ensuring your private keys never leave the device.

This page provides a concise product summary, security details, quick start instructions, and integration notes for users and developers. Whether you’re sending an NFT, signing a DeFi transaction, or building dApp integrations, Trezõr brïdge® is designed to make the process seamless and secure.

Key benefits

  • Zero-key exposure: Private keys remain inside the hardware device at all times.
  • Cross-platform: Works on Windows, macOS, and Linux; stable WebUSB and native transports supported.
  • Developer-friendly: Lightweight RPC layer, transparent logs, and SDKs for common Web3 stacks.
  • Privacy-preserving: Minimal telemetry, optional offline-only mode, and local policy enforcement.

Who it’s for

Trezõr brïdge® suits three primary audiences:

  • End users who want safe and user-friendly access to dApps without compromising key security.
  • Developers building integrations that need a predictable and secure signing surface.
  • Organizations that require auditable command-and-control for hardware wallets across teams.

Security principles

Security is the core of Trezõr brïdge®. The software follows layered defense strategies and open design principles so community and independent auditors can verify behavior.

Isolation: All signing requests are proxied directly to the hardware device; the bridge never stores or caches private keys.
Explicit consent: Each transaction requires physical confirmation on the device; contextual prompts show full human-readable details before any signing.
Auditability: Request/response logs are stored locally and cryptographically hashed for forensic review. Users may opt-in to share anonymized logs for debugging.

Best practices

  • Always verify the device screen before confirming an operation.
  • Keep bridge software up to date and only download releases from official sources.
  • Use the bridge in offline mode for the highest privacy guarantees when possible.

Quick start

Install, connect, and start interacting with dApps in three steps.

  1. Download: Get the official Trezõr brïdge® installer for your OS from the official site or package repository.
  2. Run & connect: Launch the app, connect your Trezõr device over USB or native transport, and unlock it.
  3. Authorize: Open your preferred dApp, choose the Trezõr transport, and confirm signing requests directly on the device.

Tip: For headless servers or CI workflows, use the bridge’s --batch mode with pre-approved policies, but only in tightly-controlled environments.

CLI example

trezor-bridge connect --transport usb
# list connected devices
trezor-bridge devices
# send a sign request (JSON-RPC)

Developer integration notes

Integrating with Trezõr brïdge® is straightforward. The bridge exposes a JSON-RPC surface compatible with widely-used wallet adapters. Typical flow:

  1. Discover available transports via the /devices endpoint.
  2. Initiate a signing request with a fully-formed transaction object.
  3. Await the hardware device to present an approval screen and capture the signature.

Example (pseudo):

const sig = await bridge.sign({chain: 'ethereum', tx: txPayload})
// signature returned after user confirms on device

The bridge supports middleware for logging, policy checks, and rate-limiting so teams can integrate it into CI/CD and backend services safely.

Release & support

Releases are tagged and signed; installers include checksums for verification. For bug reports and feature requests, consult the official repository and community channels. Enterprise support packages are available for organizations requiring service-level guarantees and deployment assistance.
